Can Someone on Life360 Track You Without You Knowing?

Life360 operates on the principle of mutual consent. Here’s why the system cannot track you without your explicit approval:

• You must first download to app onto your device.
• After downloading the app, you then have to go through the process of creating an account.
• Upon creating an account, the app requests permission to access your location data, which you can accept or deny.
• You will then either create or join a Circle with other users. Joining a “Circle” is a conscious choice. Other members see your location only after accepting an invitation to a Circle AND agreeing to share your location.
• Location sharing settings are customizable. You decide when, how, and with whom to share your location.

Secret tracking completely contradicts Life360’s dedication to transparency and building connections. The app supports clear communication among Circle members, making any hidden monitoring unnecessary.

Can Life360 Track You Without Having the App Downloaded?

The clear answer here is no, but let’s get into why that’s not possible:

• For Life360 to work, users must install the app. Without it, there’s no way to engage in tracking activities.
• Registration is mandatory—your account links to your unique user identity, preventing others from adding you without consent.
• Life360 doesn’t track your location without clear notifications and permissions.
• If you use an Apple device, iOS will send a notification that your location is being shared.

In simple terms, Life360 requires active and informed participation from all members, ensuring no one experiences unknowing tracking.
