¡Hola!
First off, I'm so sorry about your situation, I can't imagine how frustrating that is. 😥 Unfortunately, FamilyWhere doesn't only use GPS, it uses a few different ways to track you, so GPS alone won't block your location. If the account holder insists on keeping the application on your device, having your location on will actually provide a more accurate reading if part of the problem is the results. This site here will give some insight - https://tfw.support.safely.com/hc/en-us/articles/204119066-My-locations-are-inaccurate-
That will yield more accurate results, however the only real way to stop the location tracking is to be the primary account holder and have it removed. 😥
I wish there was more we could do to assist.

This is absolutely the worst app. First of all everytime I want to use it I have to log in the username and password each time, which takes time, which is annoying. Second the location is NEVER accurate or even close to where the phone is, and I mean NEVER. I got the app to track my teenager who was gone all night and the location it would give us each time literally said 3567 yards from the address it gave. Now that's a huge distance so basically it gave us a 3 mile radius. Like, were we supposed to go knocking door to door to find him? The app was basically useless. Other than telling you the city that the phone is in that's about as close to finding the location of the phone as you'll get. I have Snapchat and Snapchat gives you an exact location down to the exact house you are in so not sure why Snapchat would have better technology than Tmobile, in that area. Unless and more than likely Tmobile has the app solely to make money at $10 per month. Snapchat is free and gives you the exact location but T-Mobile who is a phone and Internet carrier can't give you the exact location, hmmm sounds fishy.
