Great idea for a thread 👍

I agree! Although I think something similar exists already (tho not quite the same) I don’t remember the name of the app but a friend and I were driving somewhere once and his dad called him and I heard him say “are you coming here then?” after his call ended I asked whether he might have saw us in the car somewhere or something - he said all of the family are on an app where you can keep an eye on each other’s location 😂 I guess it updates location while running in the background 🤷‍♂️ Not the kind of app I’d want to install tbh! So your gran’s idea is much better! 😃

I’d like someone to create a spam filter app that actually works, and one that auto-skips YouTube ads!! 🙃
