Do you worry about your children when they are heading off to school in the morning? Do you want to make sure that your spouse made it to work safely, but you can’t always call or text? Of course, you want to know that your loved ones reach their destination safely, but you also don’t want to bother them. Now, getting this information is easier than ever thanks to Place Alerts from Life360. Register online today to start protecting your family.

What Are Life360 Place Alerts?

A “Place”, when it comes to Life360, is essentially an area that you can define on the app, so you can then be alerted when a member of your Circle enters or leaves a location. Some of the most common Places people add include home, school, and work.

However, you could set up Places that are just about anywhere. Take some time to think about how and where your loved ones are going and figure out which Places you want to add.

Note: You can add “Places” without setting them up for alerts as well.

How Do Place Alerts Work?

Why should you track your family? It’s a misconception that people track their loved ones because they don’t trust them. Most of the time, it’s because they worry about their safety. You want to know that your child got to school safely, and you want to know when they leave school to come home. The same is true with a spouse at work, for example.

Typically, family members will request a call or text from a loved one, so they know they arrived safely, for example. However, this can be a hassle. For kids, constantly calling or texting parents can be embarrassing. With the Place Alerts, there’s no need to do anything. The app sends out notifications for you.
