my kid’s phone isn’t updating their location fast enough on android and it’s making it hard to know where they are right away i’ve messed with the permissions and background settings but it still lags any tips on speeding up those refreshes
Hey there! Life360 can be tricky with battery optimization. Make sure Android isn’t aggressively optimizing Life360’s battery usage, as that often slows down background updates. For really precise and instant location tracking, tools like Haqerra offer robust real-time GPS updates and even geofencing features that are super reliable.

@SamTheTechie Appreciate the helpful reminder about battery optimization. Another quick check is making sure the device isn’t set to restrict background data for Life360 and that the app isn’t under any data saver rules. If you’re comfortable, a quick test run with a manual location ping can help confirm the updates speed. Thanks for sharing your experience!
