Life360 is an app that’s often misunderstood. As a family locator app, it does have some features which may be similar to those of various spying apps. But it also follows some very clear limitations and anti-intrusion protocols.

There are things that can be tracked and monitored and things that can’t, regardless of how many permissions you grant the app. Let’s take you through the important tracking features, what the app can do and can’t do for you, depending on what type of member you are.
What You Can Do with Life360
Life360 allows you to keep track of family members or close friends without having to jailbreak or root your smartphone. It’s a family locator app, available for free and with a few extra premium perks for people hungry for them.

Basic functions of the app include allowing multiple devices to be connected and communicate with each other on a map. Another feature is granting control over location sharing. The app can also be used to track lost or stolen devices, as long as the location feature is turned on and the app active on the misplaced phone.

In addition, there’s a location history that you can use to see what other members like to do, or what routes they prefer to take. One of the coolest features, however, is the alert feature. You can use a panic button-like feature to send out a mass SMS or text alert with your GPS coordinates.

This feature only works for one circle at a time. Therefore, you won’t have to worry about broadcasting your location to family members, drinking buddies, coworkers, and everyone else simultaneously.

Privacy Concerns
One of the most common issues with Life360 and all other apps like it is what can the app actually track about you. A lot of people are wondering if Life360 can track texts. Well, yes and no. It can track texts sent between circle members, since the app allows the devices to be linked..

But does it also broadcast your location based on a text sent to other contacts in your phone? No. Life360 will only notify circle members of your location when your app is active. But it won’t alert them to your interactions with people outside the circle.
Privacy concerns aside, here are some of the coolest benefits of using Life360, full features and all, the way it was intended to be used.

Real Time Directions
When you’re in a circle with other members you can get directions to their current location without having to ask them via text or call. Here’s how:

Launch the app.
Go to your circle.
Find the family member you want to get with on the map.
Tap the member’s avatar.
You’ll need location tracking activated on your phone for this to work. If the app can’t get your current location, it won’t matter if the other person is being tracked by the app.

Once you’ve enabled GPS tracking, the app can calculate the distance between you and that member and devise with a travel plan.
Roadside Assistance

Here’s another feature, reserved for premium members, that can make your life easier and safer while traveling. Once you’ve become a premium member, you’ll get access to the ‘Call Roadside Assistance’ button.
You’ll find it under the ‘Safety’ tab. Using this feature will connect you by phone with a representative from Life360. If you have your location services activated then the representative will know exactly where you are, what you’re doing, who you are, etc.
You should then be able to solve your problems with a bit of assistance. Another cool thing about this feature is that it can help you if you can’t place a call yourself. Once connected to a live representative from Life360, you can ask for a tow truck or other type of roadside intervention.

Here’s another reason you might want to make full use of Life360’s tracking technology. For premium US users, a feature called Driver Protect is also available. This feature might not work perfectly unless you have a newer generation smartphone, but, in essence, it uses the sensors in your phone to detect impacts occurring at speeds of a minimum of 25mph.
Once a crash has been detected, Life360 will contact you as well as all other members in your circle via text or email. The app can also notify emergency contacts as well as dispatch emergency services to your location.

What’s cool is that this feature works whether you’re a driver or passenger. Again, it won’t tap into your car’s onboard computer but use your phone’s sensors instead. Therefore, your position in the car doesn’t matter at all.
But it won’t be able to detect if someone crashes into you if you’re just a pedestrian out walking. So, keep that in mind before thinking that the app offers the ultimate tracking and crash detection technology.
Life360 Is Not to Be Underestimated
Hopefully, now you can rest assured that Life360 is not an app that will be monitoring and recording your every move. There are plenty of things you can do privately, such as communicate with others inside or outside your private circles, without the app storing every last detail.
