In order for our app to work properly, we need a few permissions. Don't worry - when you create an account, we help you through this quick and easy process.
Location - Life360 locates you and your family members on a shared, private map. This setting allows us to show location accurately and quickly.
Phone permission - Life360 has a feature called Driver Care Support that, with a single push of a button, connects you to a live representative over the phone. Our live representative knows who you are and where you are to assist in roadside situations such as tows, jumps, and lockouts. We also offer an immediate emergency response in the case of a vehicular collision. Phone permissions allow us to connect your phone to the live representative and authenticate that you are the one calling them.

Awful. Keeps telling me to turn battery optimisation off to work properly (I have), frequently lags on location unless I open the app regularly, & DON'T GET THE FREE TRIAL OF GOLD. Took ages to work do to repeat technical issues; not triggering bank Auth etc, when it eventually worked, the 30 day location timeline was convoluted & terribly inaccurate compared to Google Timeline. I cancelled, I have a receipt I cancelled, they've BILLED ME ANYWAY, & refused refund request. Google support for me.

Have had this app since 2021 and quickly upgraded to paid, think price has gone up a couple of times since! Worked well until probably November when it started saying "get (name) to turn on wifi for more accurate location sharing" or something like that, everyone has their wifi on!! tried updating, nothing changed. Now I get a notification that my sub will increased again, why when the app isn't even working. If nothing is sorted I will be cancelling and looking for something else.

App is frozen with an advert taking up half the screen. Nothing I can do with it, can't use it. Came out, checked for upgrades, went back in same advert, same problem. Ads are annoying but this one has totally disabled the app, now useless. Had the app for many years (12yrs I think) but it has seriously gone downhill now forced 1/2 page ads have come along.
