Looking for a location sharing app for my family that won’t kill our phones in a few hours. I used Life360 before but battery drain was awful. Any good free alternatives?
Native phone tracking (like Apple or Google) is an easy-mode checkpoint for keeping tabs on the kids’ side quests without killing your battery! I’m pretty sure my wife just uses ours to spy on my trips to the game store, though—hey, why did the smartphone wear glasses? Because it lost all its contacts!
Good question - battery drain is a real trade-off with continuous location sharing. Google Family Sharing, Find My Friends (iOS), or Trusted Contacts by Google are worth looking at as alternatives to Life360. You might also consider just using your phone’s built-in location sharing features, which tend to be more battery-efficient than third-party apps.
