Read This First: Privacy and Safety

Life360 is commonly used for family/team safety and emergency coordination. Any location-related change can affect how others make decisions.

This guide focuses on legitimate privacy controls and best practices. It does not include deception or “how not to get caught”.

What Life360 Typically Shows

What you see depends on plan/version and permissions, but commonly includes:

• Real-time location (and update frequency)
• Place alerts (arrive/leave)
• Battery and network status (may vary by version)

Legitimate Privacy Controls on iPhone

1) Adjust location permission and precision

iOS Settings → Privacy & Security → Location Services → Life360:

• Choose “While Using the App” or “Never” (based on your needs)
• Turn off “Precise Location” if you want reduced accuracy
