If their smartphone is turned off or has no network access, the app will notify you. Put simply: there’s no tricking this clever app, and no more tricking you, as a parent.
Why Parents shouldn’t track their child?
A 2019 study shows monitoring a child can undermine the sense of trust and bonding. In fact, it can become counterproductive to the point of pushing the child further towards rebellion. This risk, I would argue, is perhaps far more serious than those leading parents to track their children in the first place.
Can Life360 see what websites your on?
Mostly Yes, and Sometimes No. Members of your circles know what you are doing, where you are going, and so forth. That also means the people running Life360 also see where you are and what you are doing.
Real-time movement will show for only one hour in a rolling 3-hour window. This is done to conserve the battery life of the member who is driving. Pressing the refresh button will reset this process and will show about 25 more seconds of real-time movement.

Some phones will display a message saying the location needs to be set to ‘always’, or ‘no network or phone off’, or ‘location permissions/GPS off’ when it has been verified they are turned on. Once logged back into your primary phone, you may need to tap the ‘Check In’ button a few times to refresh your location.
What is ghost mode on Life360?
Life360 CEO Chris Hulls created a TikTok account to talk to younger users, who often make memes about dodging the app’s tracking. In the newest feature’s development stages, Hulls often referred to it as “Ghost Mode” when seeking input from TikTok users, implying the feature would allow teens to “ghost” their parents.
