Download
Tracker is no longer available from Google Play as they do not allow apps which send text messages automatically, even if you agree to it. Instead you now need to download "richard hunt tracker" from this website here as follows.
There are THREE STEPS you need to perform to correctly install Tracker:
STEP 1 - If you have yet to do so, allow your phone to install from your browser:
Recent Android devices
- Settings >> Security & privacy >> More settings *
- Select Install apps from external sources.
- Select Chrome
- Toggle Allow app installs on
* On Samsung devices this is Settings >> Biometrics and security >> Install unknown apps
Older Android devices
- Settings >> Security >> Device administration
- Toggle Unknown sources on.
STEP 2 - Click on this link to download and install:v8.74 Tracker
If you are running something older than Android 4.0 (Kit Kat) you can still download and install v8.24 Tracker
If nothing happens, try again or look in your Downloads folder (using Files or similar) and click from there
