Life360 is a consensual location-sharing app — every member of a Circle can see that they are being tracked, and can leave at any time. It is built for families keeping tabs on kids, elderly relatives, or each other on a road trip, not for tracking someone without their knowledge.
Create a Circle
- Download Life360 and create an account.
- Tap Create Circle, name it, and send the invite code to family members.
- Each person installs the app, joins with the code, and grants location permission themselves.
Good practice
Agree as a family on what the Circle is for, and revisit it as kids get older — being upfront about tracking (and giving people the ability to opt out) is what keeps this a trust-building tool rather than a surveillance one.
