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.

Ratings and reviews

This app used to work great. Then suddenly text messages don't send, even when I'm texting from home. When I send a text, it looks faded, then I get a "failed to send" error. I also never received notifications of text messages from people in my circle. Never changed a setting, it just started doing this and continued to do this even after uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Very frustrating. I've checked all permissions and notifications settings, etc. to make sure there are no restrictions.

Good info. Does show current location. Of course in app purchases required to get the full location history, phone usage, speeding, driving history etc... not exactly accurate. As it shows driving through houses and yards to get from point A to point B or C etc. But it still shows current location and when you're target is moving. Has bubbles for privacy or pause location tracking. Has options for alerts if in, arriving, leaving an area created by you or the admin.

Since I posted my review it has gotten even worse. I have to turn off my phone alot just to be able to open the app! - - - - - - - - - Since the ads have been added to the app, it is glitchy very frequently . The app doesn't always open, gives inaccurate location information and doesn't always update everyone in the circle. Sometimes someone shows they have been at a certain location for days. The app used to be much more reliable.
