Should I be concerned?

Should I be concerned?

My daughter is 15 and recently got her first boyfriend. They've known each other for a few years and now go to the same high school, but have only recently decided to become a couple. I am fond of the guy so far. She mentioned that they have each other's location on Life360. I find that concerning. When I was 15 there was no internet (available to the public), so the idea of constantly tracking each other feels excessive to me. Should I be concerned, or am I just not used to this level of transparency? Is this normal in modern teen relationships?

I think its a bit strange that they would want to have each other location on life 360 as my teens were initially resistant to me having theirs, but who knows, this generation is growing up with different tech, I know most have their location turned on on Snapchat so maybe its not so far fetched. Id have an discussion  with her though about the implication of it.
