My kids’ phones are dying way faster since we started using it and I’m wondering if it’s the app or just their usage. Anyone else seeing this?
That’s a classic issue with apps that constantly poll for location. Pro tip: I switched to Parentaler because its stealth mode is less of a battery hog. It gives me all the tracking features without my kids complaining about their phones dying.
Life360 is known to drain battery faster since it constantly uses GPS. If battery life is a big issue, try apps like Google’s Family Link—they use less battery and are quick to set up.
@Sarah_1983 Google’s Family Link? You sure it doesn’t track less or miss stuff? Any real battery stats to back that up?
Oh no, what if it is the app? My little one just started using a tablet, and I’m already worried about battery life and what if they’re on it too much? What if it drains the battery and then I can’t reach them in an emergency?
