For those who using a location tracking app, which one are you using?

Using google map, it seems the tracking is limited to 24h unless renewed, even if I selected "until I turn it off"

Seems to me life360 is the best alternative, so wondering if anyone knows/uses a different one?

Been using life360 for years. Rm16 a month only. With crash detection too.

But on android battery drains fast, same as google maps location sharing or WhatsApp

For iPhone it just accesses the location api, doesn’t need to use it by itself so battery is better

Have you tried to disable the drive detection?

But that probably defeats the purpose you're paying for I guess.. sweat.gif

Anyway if it is important to have it on, I understand.
