      \n
    • The First step is to launch the app and navigate to the settings menu option.<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Look at the base of your screen, and take a look at the right corner<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Look out for the \u201cLocation sharing\u201d menu option and select it.\u00a0 You may then prevent people in your cycle from accessing your location when you switch it off by simply clicking on the slide you see.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      You may cross-check by viewing the in-built map on the phone, and you\u2019ll see a notification that your location sharing has been halted.<\/span><\/p>\n

      2. Turn Off the Location On Your Phone<\/b><\/h3>\n

      Another proven method of preventing people from tracking your movements is by discontinuing location or GPS services on your phone. This can be achieved by dragging your fingers from the top of your screen downwards or using the settings menu option to turn it off.<\/span><\/p>\n

      You can use your settings menu option to turn off location on your phone by<\/span><\/p>\n

        \n
      • Locating your phone settings on either your iOS or Android device<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Look out for any option that says location or GPS services in the settings menu option, and disable the service.<\/span><\/li>\n
      • Android users may need to scroll downward and look for privacy settings. You may then turn off your phone location.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

        3. Switch On Airplane Mode<\/b><\/h3>\n

        Another method of preventing people from tracking your movement is switching to airplane mode on your phone. Turning on airplane mode on your phone will prevent the use of Internet and GSM services on your phone, and this will keep you anonymous from both government agencies and hackers.<\/span><\/p>\n

        You can switch on airplane mode on your phone by dragging your phone screen down and clicking on the airplane mode icon. Alternatively, you can switch on airplane mode using the settings menu option by going to your phone settings and looking out for the connection option. You will then see the option to turn on airplane mode on your phone.<\/span><\/p>\n

        It is important to note that the adverse effect of switching to airplane mode is that you will not be able to make it receive calls, send or receive messages, or connect to the internet using wi-fi or other means.<\/span><\/p>\n

        4. Uninstall the App<\/b><\/h3>\n

        Another proven method of achieving anonymity is by deleting or uninstalling the Life360 apps on your phone. If you feel your security has been compromised, or you don\u2019t want people like your family members from tracking your movement using the app. You can easily uninstall the app from your phone, thereby discontinuing sharing your location with anyone.<\/span><\/p>\n

        Before uninstalling the app, you may also choose to clear your records by wiping your previously saved location history on the app. This will, in turn, give you 100% assurance that a hacker or a family member can not use your previously saved location history to predict your movement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        You may also choose to delete your Life360 accounts if you feel dissatisfied with the location tracking services on the app. This will also aid in deleting all previously saved information about you, such as your name, email address, and previously saved locations, from the app.<\/span><\/p>\n

        When to Consider Deactivating Life360<\/b><\/p>\n

        Situations may arise where an individual may feel the need to deactivate the Life360 services. For example, Ann hates that she\u2019s only limited to visiting some places without her parent’s consent, and she may feel she\u2019s old enough to visit wherever she likes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

        Looking at another example, Mike is constantly been stalked by a toxic ex who is capable of harming him. Mike may then feel the need to protect his privacy and security by disabling Life360 on his device.<\/span><\/p>\n

        How to Fake Your Location on The Life360 App<\/b><\/p>\n

        You can always trick people like your parents or spouse into seeing a false location with the Life360 app. You can use third-party apps such as iAnyGo, fake GPS go location spoofer, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n
