    This is creepy but if you’re in situations where your loved ones are in a different state and they’re having a mental breakdown/episode. It helps a lot to see and make sure they’re ok and not in harms way

    The best tracking app is the one thr NSA uses.

    You can/should zoom out to see the accuracy radius of the location. When Aldo was in the building the background was slightly orange, meaning he could’ve been anywhere within that bubble. Zooming out would’ve shown the radius, Apple just puts the user icon in the center of the bubble.

    Apple does show battery levels on iOS 13. It’s under “devices” rather than “people”

      Google already upload you location constantly anyway, so no extra battery usage. Same with find my.
      Life360 definetly use more battery because it send location every second

    Location tracking has a third reason. Convenience. It is super convenient in a surprising number of situations in ways. Personally I can't wait for AI that's plugged into all of my data so I can ask it questions and get meaningful answers. I might not remember if I've ever been to a particular restaurant before, but I would love an AI assistant that could tell me yes you were here and here's the date you were here and here's your email receipt of what you ordered and by the way you took some pictures and hear those are.

      I know this comment is 2 years old, but I'm looking for the exact same thing!! Something that shares your location automatically but for a given time schedule. Like every Mo-Fr from 5-7pm, for half a year. That should be a given imo, e.g. most would gladly share location for to their sketchy walk home from school/work or their daily walk, but not for every second of their private life. And having to manually turn it on every single time would be quickly forgotten and become impractical.. Did you ever find an app that meets this need?

  • @user-ei7ed6zy9k
    @user-ei7ed6zy9k 5 років тому +11

    Google tracks everywhere I go. Sounds creepy but it's super convenient. When I'm looking for a nearby restaurant it knows what I'd be interested in by giving a restaurant a score out of 100%. Also tells me the last time I visited somewhere and how often.
    Deleting it all is like deleting my UA-cam account history and seeing a bunch of pop music videos and late night talk shows all over my homepage. I live off recommended rather than subscriptions because UA-cam knows exactly what I want

    I've been using Life360 for about a year now, it's great if the app is running continuously in the phone. But if u completely close the app for about 3hrs or more, it will just stack somewhere n says (phone does not have network or WiFi) and the location will be at around the last seen place forever till u open back the app.

  • @ivorjohn3016
    @ivorjohn3016 Рік тому

    interesting if a little basic. beware that when Life360 has an update it is often far from accurate. like this past week it has shown my children having left school and that it is up to date at that point they walk through the door of home 3 kilometres away from where it says they are. very frustrating and totally unhelpful

    • @Stillcurrentlyawkward

    I search for a tracking app when I go hiking. As I don’t know sometimes where I will stay or go but my family should know in case of I am having an emergency. But only when I go hiking! Not all the time!!! All these apps are all the time tracking me and not when I want to use it only.
    Does something like this exist ? Would be glad about any ideas. Thanks a lot.

    I knew that military have been working on apps that can track person inside a building via gps . Difficult part here is that gps alone won't be sufficient to track people inside a building. Maybe with data analysis company can get an approximate guess of the location based on previous visits, but whoever solves this problem I am sure Google and Facebook will make them a millionaire.

      I was in a really bad place emotionally
      because I had the suspicion my partner was
      cheating but I couldn't confirm it. I reached
      out to a close friend and she introduced
      me to John Hacker. He explained how he
      would grant me access to my partners
      phone without him being aware, of coursel
      was skeptical at first but I had to erase the
      doubts so I went through with the process
      and he delivered giving me access to old
      texts and incoming texts on Whatsapp,
      Facebook, Imessage he also got me into
      his Instagram account and I was able
      to confirm my suspicion and leave that

      whatsapp or directly +1(508)552-5930

      I made the right call
