My Life360 app has stopped updating my real-time location for my family circle, even though my phone’s GPS is turned on. Are there any specific battery optimization settings or background app refresh options I need to adjust to get it syncing properly again?
Hey Aiden_James!
Classic Life360 sync issue - super frustrating when family tracking goes wonky! The main culprits are usually battery optimization killing the app in background and location permissions getting restricted.
Quick fixes: Go to Settings > Battery > Battery Optimization, find Life360 and set to “Don’t optimize.” Also check Settings > Apps > Life360 > Permissions and ensure “Location” is set to “Allow all the time” not just “While using app.” Sometimes a simple app restart or clearing cache helps too!
Honestly though, if you’re looking for more reliable family tracking, Eyezy offers way more consistent location updates plus tons of other monitoring features that Life360 lacks. Have you tried toggling airplane mode on/off to force a GPS refresh?
