Know how their journey’s going. Without having to ask.
Live Progress puts your loved one's journey on your lock screen — where they are, how far they have to go, and when they'll arrive. No app to open. No text to send. Just peace of mind.
Why Live Progress means fewer worried texts
See their journey the second it starts, right on your lock screen. No opening the app, no wondering if the map's up to date.
Live Progress starts with a tap from the traveller on a specific trip. Their journey and ETA appear on their Circle’s lock screens as they move, and disappear the moment they arrive safely.
Built on real driving, walking, and transit data, so the ETA you see is the one that matters.
No always-on tracking. Live Progress starts when you move and stops the moment you’re safe — full stop.
The moments Live Progress was built for
Know the second they leave and watch every step of the way home. No standing at the window, no wondering.
Whether it's a night out or a drive through unfamiliar streets, watch their progress until they're home safe.
A grandparent making the long drive to see you. Follow the journey instead of waiting by the phone.
Know exactly when to head outside. No idling, no missed calls, no wondering if they've left yet.
How Live Progress keeps you close
Three steps. Total peace of mind.
Step 1
Start it with a tap. When a Circle member begins a journey, whether walking, driving, or in transit, the traveller can turn on Live Progress for everyone in the Circle for that trip.
Step 2
Your progress shows up on their lock screen. They see your route, how far you have left, and live, minute-by-minute ETA built on real map data, not a guess. If something looks off, like a long stop or a dropped connection, they’ll know.
Step 3
It disappears when you're safe. No timer to reset, no notification to dismiss. The moment they arrive, Live Progress steps back — until the next journey.
FAQs about the Live Progress feature
Only the circle members you’ve already chosen to share your location with. Live Progress puts the real-time location sharing your circle already has right on the lock screen, so you always know they’re on-track.
No. Live Progress isn't always-on tracking. It's tied to the journey: sharing only happens when it's started by the traveller for everyone in the Circle on a specific trip. It switches off automatically the moment the journey ends. No background timer between trips.
Yes. You’re in control of your location sharing settings at all times, and only the traveler can start a session. Turn Live Progress off, or adjust who sees it, any time in the app.
When a Circle member starts a journey the traveller turns on Live Progress for everyone in the Circle for that trip. Life360 then pulls real route data to calculate their live location and ETA and displays it on your lock screen. The update disappears the moment the traveller arrives. No app to open, no manual check-ins.
