Can you put tracking on your iPhone without an app?

My mum won't let me get an iPhone because you can't but an app with tracking on it. So I was wondering if we could put it on the sim card and track it that way.

Yes. You have to set your iphone though on settings to have tracking on. And your cell phone has to be on when its lost if it ever was. And you can use icloud to track it.

There's a application called "Track your iPhone". The app you download is from the app store and you can download it to any computer/apple device. If by chance you lose your iPhone or it got stolen your computer can send phone message e.g. This is Emily's phone so please return in to ___". You can also make it ring so you will be able to hear it. Also you can track it down from your computer and it tells u exactly what place it is in just keep zooming in. All you need is the app already downloaded on your iPhone and a computer or another apple device to track it. Hope this helps. You can't track your phone down without an application by yourself unless your the police! Also even if you ask the police to track it down they wouldn't because its not something like a stolen car that's why its best to sort it out yourself.
