We use life360 for this. I can see where my wife is, I can know when she arrives home safely. She gets a notification when I leave work so she knows I'm on my way home to help with the kids.
- ams6110 10y agoSo glad I grew up before any of this was possible.
- ghaff 10y agoI have mixed feelings about a lot of this. For younger children, it's hard to object. But the general idea that you might give general access to your location info to a family member and that not doing so could become an issue feels... bothersome. In a different vein, as someone who grew up pre-cell phones, I'm a bit bothered by the idea that you should always be reachable. That said, as satellite trackers/SMS/emergency beacon devices become more affordable I do start to ask myself if something like this isn't prudent on a relatively remote solo trip.
- sundvor 10y agoYep, same here. The notifications in Life360 work great.
- lowglow 10y agoI was using this app but it seemed like it drained the battery so me and my SO got rid of it. :\ It was super useful though, but couldn't get pass the power drainage.
- JakeSc 10y agoAs an engineer at Life360, I can tell you that we hear you loud and clear. We haven't always been the best at achieving high accuracy _and_ power efficiency, but we are improving the technology dramatically. Battery drain has been a major focus for our engineering team for a long time, and especially recently. Give it a try again and let me know how your experience is.
- jstandard 10y agoI've seen this in Life360. Have you found youself in situations where you want to share with others outside your circle? Ex. People who don't have Life360 installed.
