Learn how Life360’s tracking capabilities work when your phone is turned off and discover ways to maintain privacy without losing access to your phone’s functionality.
Summary:
Life360 cannot track your location when your phone is turned off because the app relies on the GPS feature, which is disabled when the phone is off. However, your last known location will still be visible to members of your circle. Other reasons Life360 may be unable to track you include being in airplane mode, having a poor network connection, disabling phone location services, or incompatibilities with third-party apps. Remember that Life360’s location history stores data for up to 30 days for premium members and two days for free members. It’s important to understand how Life360 works and take necessary precautions to maintain privacy.
