Episode notes
Life360 Is More Than Location
- Life360 offers far more than simple location sharing, including device battery, camera access, and driving behavior reports.
- That extra capability makes Life360 more powerful but also raises substantial privacy considerations.
Check Permissions Before Installing
- Read Life360's privacy policy and understand the permissions you grant before using it for family tracking.
- Be mindful that driving, camera, and location data can be sensitive and should match your comfort level for sharing.
Turn Chores Into Shared Tasks
- Use Sweepy to assign repeated room-based chores, set schedules, and share tasks with family members.
- Consider the premium family plan to unlock widgets, leaderboards, and shared member features for fair chore division.
