About this app

Life360’s Family Locator simplifies life in the digital world by making it easy to stay connected to the people who matter most.

With Life360 you can:
• Create your own private groups, called “Circles,” of family members and chat with them in Family Locator for FREE.
• View the real-time location of family members on a private family map that’s only visible to your Circle.
• Receive real-time alerts when family members arrive at or leave destinations (Eliminate disruptive “Where are you?” texts)
• See the location of stolen or lost phones
• Enjoy a more diverse array of features and benefits than those found on similar apps
• Works on both Android Phones and iPhones

Real-Time Location Sharing

Stay connected and in sync with your entire family and eliminate the multiple texts needed to coordinate your family events and daily life. Family Locator alerts you when your family members have checked in at a location and thanks to GPS sensors in your phone, family locator can also advise if someone is running late.

Finding Family

The Life360 app uses state-of-the-art GPS location technology to report the real-time whereabouts of family members that have accepted your invitation to join your circle and share their location. Simply install the Life360 Family Locator app on your phone, and invite your family. Once registered, each member appears as a unique icon on the navigational map so you’ll know exactly where they are. No need to send annoying “Where are your?” or “What’s your ETA?” texts, the Life360 Family Locator puts this information at your fingertips. And to make life super easy, we send you alerts the moment your family arrives at an appointed location!

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.

Network - This connects you to the Internet and allows us to send and receive location information to and from family members on your private map.

The app overall has been decent. The main problem that I have experienced over the last three weeks has been that the app says that there is no network connection for the parties in my circle. Updated, cleared cache, and uninstalled/installed app multiple times and still does it. The subscription fees are ridiculous if the doesn't work as advertised.

the app was super good until a couple weeks ago. When someone leaves a place it does not notify me when they do it until 20 min after. Also, when when someone arrives at a place it shows that the arrival time is 1hr after they actually got there. Not to mention that the speed is not accurate no more. I don't know what you guys changed but I do not like this app anymore.

I kind of knew when I was installing this app that I was going to take pretty significant battery hit. but I don't think I realized to what extent. The app itself is good... as long as you are able to keep your phone plugged in all day. it works by pinging GPS servers so obviously it's going to consume a lot of battery. however, almost up to the point of being unusable. it consumes more battery than Facebook and WhatsApp combined which is saying a lot as those are extremely battery heavy apps
