How to Stop Life360 from Tracking my location

For every social media app you start using, there are always options you can use to disable things like a location tracker. It is one of many signs that confirm you are downloading a legitimate application.

In the case of Life360, the app has an inbuilt feature that allows users to stop location tracking. In case you don’t know how to use it, have a look at the steps below

Step 1: look at the lower right corner of your app and locate the “settings” option. Lick on it.

Step 2: look at the top of your screen and locate the circle switch. Now, select the particular circle that you want to stop tracking your location.

Step 3: click on “location sharing”.

Step 4: tap on the slider. It will turn white or gray in color, which shows that your location has been turned off.

To further confirm this cancellation, look at the map. If you see “location sharing paused”, then no one in your circle will be able to track your location.

This method is effective, but it is not good enough, especially if you have different circles. If you turn off your location in one circle, another circle may be able to track you. If you want real privacy, try any of the following methods listed below.

1. Turn off your internet connection

This is just like putting your phone on airplane mode, and even if it is effective, you will miss out on important information since your internet is turned off. So only turn it off for the Life360 application. Here are the steps to take:

● Stop your background applications from refreshing by turning on battery saver
● Go to your “settings” menu
● Locate the Life360 app from there
● Then turn off motion & fitness, cellular data, and background refresh

When you do this, your location will remain paused on the place you were at the time you made these adjustments.

2. Get a second phone

Of course, this sounds a bit stressful, but it works effectively if you want to stop Life360 from tracking your location without anyone knowing. Get a burner phone—could be android or ios. After getting it, start following these steps:

● Download Life360 on the second phone
● Install it and sign into your account, do not open a new one
● Go to the location you want people to think you are, then connect your new phone to the wifi of that place
● Finally, delete life360 from your original phone

When you do this, you can freely go wherever you want without getting tracked, but everyone will think you are the place your burner phone is located.

3. Use the low data mode

The process for this method is very similar to turning off your internet connection to the life360 app on your phone. Here are the steps:

● Go to your “settings” menu
● Locate your life360 app from there, then turn off the cellular data, background app fresh, wifi, and motion fitness.
● Do not connect your phone to wifi

The aim of this method is to make life360 unable to track your location due to a bad network (that you caused). So your location status will not display “location paused”, instead, it will show “internet connection problem.”

4. Use an iphone location spoofer

You can use a location spoofing app like AimerLab MobiGo to change your location without buying a new phone, turning off your data, going on low data mode, or doing anything that will alert anyone in your circle.

When you use the AimerLab MobiGo app for spoofing, it will automatically make all the location-sensitive applications on our phone think that you are in the location you teleport your iphone to. It is actually that simple!

Applications like Life360, Snapchat and Pokemon Go are some of the most common apps that function based on a user’s location. So, people use spoofing applications like AimerLab MobiGo to override any location barriers that may be preventing them from maximizing these apps.

Let’s see how to use AimerLab MobiGo to ttop Life360 from tracking:

Step 1: Click “Free Download” to get AimerLab MobiGo and begin modifying your Life360 location.

Step 2: Open MobiGo when installation is complete and select “Get Started” from the menu.

Step 3: To connect your iPhone or Android phone to your computer through USB or WiFi, select your phone and then “Next”.

Step 4: Follow the instructions to activate “Developer Mode” on iOS 16 or later. Android users must enable “Developer Options” and USB debugging to install MobiGo.

Step 5: Your mobile device will be able to connect to the computer after “Developer Mode” or “Developer Options” have been enabled.

Step 6: In the teleport mode of MobiGo, your phone’s current location will be shown on a map. You can create an unreal location by picking a location on a map or inserting an address into the search bar.


Step 7: Once you have selected a destination and pressed the “Move Here” button, MobiGo will move your current GPS location automatically to the place you have specified.

Step 8: Then you can hide your position on Life360 after checking Life360 to see where you are now.

 

With this new location, Life360 will believe you are a different location, and that is what everyone in your circle will be seeing. With such an easy way to stop life360 from tracking your location, why would you go through all the stress listed above?
