How to turn off Life360 location sharing for good

Quick answer

To turn off Life360 location sharing, disable it inside the app per circle, then set its location permission to Never in your phone settings to fully stop background access.

Open Life360, tap Settings, and look for Location Sharing, where you can pause it per circle. To stop it completely, go to your phone settings and set Life360's location access to Never, then disable Background App Refresh. Leaving the circle removes you from it altogether. If you still want to know when friends are around, a local proximity app gives you that without anyone seeing your live position.

In one sentence

Parages pings you when you pass near a friend. It tracks nobody.

How it works

1

Add your friends

Their neighborhood, not their exact address. Only you see your list, and nothing is shared.

2

Live your life

No continuous tracking, no shared location. Parages sleeps in your pocket.

3

Get a hello

You pass near a friend, and your phone says “You’re 300 m from Thomas 👋”. Right when it matters.

Frequently asked questions

You note roughly where your friends live. Your phone watches for when you come within a few hundred metres of one of them and sends a quiet notification. No one shares a live location.

Yes, that is the whole design. The proximity check runs locally on your phone, so you are alerted while your position never leaves the device.
