But this leaves us with a question – what happens if you delete your Life360 app or account?
Let’s find in this article.
What Happens If You Delete or Uninstall Life360
If you delete or uninstall the Life360 app from your phone, the app will no longer have access to your real-time location. Other people in your circle will see your last recorded location, which will no longer be updated.
The Life360 apps make use of location services on your phone to track and send your real-time location. If the app is uninstalled, it will not have access to the location details.
Uninstalling Life360 will not delete your account. You can install the app and log in to your account anytime.
As the location details won’t update any longer, you can expect a call from your parents and ask why Life360 is not updating or if you have deleted the app. To trick the system, you may try the Life360 ghost mode.
