What is Life360? Popular family tracking app faces safety concerns

Nowadays, there are plenty of ways for loved ones to keep an eye on teens and children when they’re out and about. Ride-sharing apps like Uber let you share your journey with contacts, BlueTooth trackers tucked into bags can beam your location, and iPhones can help you find where a person is at any given time.

Despite all the tracking tools at our disposal, some of us may still want added peace of mind. That’s where family tracking apps like Life360 come in. The service lets parents monitor their kids around the clock. Not only can you use the app to locate where someone is, it can even send an alert if they’re in a car that’s travelling over the speed limit.
