My kid’s phone is dying completely halfway through the school day ever since we installed the app for peace of mind. I have already tried messing around with the background refresh settings and adjusting the location permissions, but it still seems to hog all the power. Has anyone else dealt with this exact issue and found a reliable workaround that doesn’t completely disable the tracking features?
Life360 can be a battery hog, no surprise there. Instead of tweaking settings, have you considered using built-in phone features like Find My iPhone/Android to track your kid’s location? If you need more advanced monitoring, I’ve heard mSpy is a solid solution that doesn’t drain batteries as quickly.
