Life360 won’t update location sometimes, how can I fix that?

Xolvie Resolution Specialist June 20, 2025 2:50 pm

If Life360 won’t update your location, try these fixes to restore real-time tracking — here’s how.

🔍 Why this happens:
– Location permissions not set to “Always”
– Battery saver or data restrictions block background use
– Weak GPS, Wi-Fi, or mobile signal

✅ Steps to fix location issues:

Check permissions:
→ Settings → Apps → Life360 → Location
→ Set to “Allow all the time” (Android) / “Always” (iPhone)

Disable battery/data limits:
→ Turn off Battery Saver & Data Saver
→ Allow background activity and unrestricted data usage

Enable key services:
→ Turn on Wi-Fi, Bluetooth & Location Services
→ Set Location Mode to “High Accuracy”

📌 Still stuck?
Log out and log back into Life360, or reinstall the app. Make sure the app is updated.
