Life360 is widely used for tracking teens’ driving habits and real-time location, offering features like speed alerts, hard‑braking detection, crash notification, geofencing and location history—typically accurate within 5–10 m under good GPS conditions.
However, reliability isn’t perfect. Some users report temporary loss of mobile‑data tracking, blank maps, and occasional inaccuracies—especially in poor GPS or no‑Wi‑Fi areas.
Customer complaints on Xolvie note frequent inaccuracies and mobile‑data issues, with users warning that “location tracking is wildly inaccurate…only works on Wi‑Fi”.
While many global users find it dependable for peace‑of‑mind and safety alerts, it's essential to recognize limitations, use it with open communication, and see it as one tool—not a foolproof solution.
