How to Track a Text Message Location:

Try the following methods to track the text message:

1. See Location from Phone Book

If you want to track the location of any text message you can easily do that by checking the contact details of the phone number that’s sending the messages. If this is not saved in your contact book, you’ll need to save it and then look for the location in your phone book. On most Android devices, you’ll be able to get the registered location of any phone number after you save the phone number in your contact book. 

However, if the number was already saved in your phone, you’ll need to get into the contact details section of the phone book to see the registered location of the number.

🔴 Steps To Follow:

Step 1: Open the Messages application on your device. 

Step 2: Next, click on the text message whose location you want to find. 

Step 3: Then click on the three dots icon.

Step 4: Next, click on Add to Contacts. 

Click Add contact

Step 5: Click on Create contact.

Click Create Contact

Step 6: Save the contact by providing it with any name. 

Click on Save Button

Step 7: After you save the number, you’ll be taken to the Contact book’s page. 

Step 8: On the page, you’ll be able to see the name and phone number. Just below the phone number, you’ll be able to see the registered location of the number. 

Step 9: From the registered location, you’ll be able to know the state and city. 

2. Seeing Area Code

If you want to find the text message sender’s location, you’ll be able to find it from the area code of the phone number. Every phone number has an area code in front of it.

From an area code, you’ll be able to know from which country the phone number has been registered. Area codes are different for different countries. No area code’s similar to another country.

If you can’t recognize the country after seeing the area code, search for the country by entering the area code on Google. Immediately, you’ll be able to find out the country from which the sender registered the phone number originally.

Even if you’re able to recognize the country after seeing the area code, searching on Google can further help you verify it.

Send Text Link To Find Location:

Follow the below steps:

Step 1: Go to Grabify.link & Select a video or article

You can use the Grabify IP Logger tool to find the IP address as well as the location of any device. But this is a little tricky method that has to be done by sending tracking links to the sender of the text message.

As soon as the sender will open the links Grabify will track down this IP address and the location and show it to you in the results. It depends upon the user of the number whether he would click on the link or not. You can make an effort to make it happen. 

Grabify website

You’ll need to start by selecting a video or any interesting article and then copy the link to it. The video or the article should be interesting enough so that the target would feel like clicking on it to read and watch it. 

Step 2: Shorten the link 

Next, open the Grabify IP Logger tool on the web and paste the copied link on the box that says ENTER a valid URL or tracking code.

Click on Copy

Send the shortened link to the user via messages whose IP address and location you want to track and ask him to check it out. You’ll need to wait for the user to open the link. 

Step 4: See the results 

As soon as the user opens the link, Grabify will record the IP address and the location of the user and will redirect the user to the page of the original content associated with the link. The person will not be able to understand that Grabify has recorded the IP address and the location.
