I got strict parents, and they always wanted to see where I was at all times. Fair, but here's the thing:
IM GOING TO COLLEGE ON TUESDAY!

Im 18, im more independant, but they still want to see my location because "they pay the phone bill"

Thats literally the only thing that they will be paying for until I buy the iPhone 17 Pro myself (most likely)

Is it possible to share the location of my Mac mini instead of my iPhone? Im not seeing anything in Find My to switch the location tracking to my Mac mini... Just my iPhone...

I don’t think you can set up a Mac to be your location

But if you go to this same menu on an iPad, you can have an iPad be your location

To answer your question, no, there is no way. Could use an iPad or something.
