So I've set up the apple family, And I would like my children to share their location with me. sometimes they switch off their location sharing with me. Is there any way I can switch it on remotely - Without having the device to hand.

iPhone SE, iOS 16

You can't switch it on remotely but you may be able to set things on their devices so they can't turn it off. See how to use Screen Time on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch by clicking here --> Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
