How to locate a person using their smartphone (Android, iPhone)

Knows the exact location of a person through their cell phone number without using any software.

Mobile device location services, such as those offered by Google and Apple, allow you to know the exact location of a mobile phone in real-time. They use the information provided by the GPS, the cellular network, and the device’s Wi-Fi connection to display their position quite accurately on a map. They can be used from any web browser, and you only need to log in with the account (email and password) linked to the device you want to locate: a Google account on Android devices, and Apple account on iOS devices (iPhone, iPad).

It is worth mentioning that in addition to having a connected account, smartphones need an internet connection (Wi-Fi or data) and GPS enabled. With these requirements, it will be effortless to locate the mobile and, consequently, the person carrying it on, as we show below.
