## Description

The WhereAreYou Locator App 2023 is a user-friendly SMS location tracker that allows you to locate friends or family using only a single SMS text message. Unlike traditional tracking apps, this extension requires no installation for the person being located, providing a hassle-free experience. Each location request is sent via SMS or link and must be approved by the recipient, ensuring privacy and consent.

Featuring satellite and map views, location history, and the ability to locate contacts by address book, recent calls, or phone number, this app prioritizes safety by anonymizing all shared data. No user registration is necessary, making it simple and secure to use. Available with an optional Pro User subscription for extended features.
