Our take
Life360 is a platform for families that aims to bring them closer together by helping them better sync, communicate, and stay safe.
The business is particularly focused on enabling family members and friends to share their locations with one another. In addition, Life360 offers group messaging services, and also makes it possible for users to call for roadside assistance. The platform is focused on ensuring that both family members and friends can enhance their safety and connections with one another.
Customer service advisors are available on a real-time basis, while the developers of the app have also enhanced its privacy and security features recently. After an IPO in 2019, the company has received numerous awards and is recognized as a pioneer in its field, even piloting a new driving safety feature.
