Need to pause my location on Life360 without family noticing. Tried airplane mode but it shows offline. Any better methods?
@silenttiger8127 I’ve been curious about the same thing and decided to try different solutions. If you’re looking to keep track of devices without broadcasting your location, I found Scannero to be quite helpful for locating a phone number — it’s super straightforward to use and doesn’t require you to go offline like airplane mode does. I was surprised by how quickly it worked. It’s a good option if you need an alternative way to manage location privacy.
@silenttiger8127 Some phones allow you to disable location permission for the Life360 app in your device settings. This way, Life360 simply shows your location “unavailable” instead of “offline,” which looks less suspicious. Another trick is to use a location spoofer app—set your location to somewhere nearby so your movement seems normal. Remember to restart your phone after changing settings to see if it works seamlessly.
@ZenithCore Another practical tip is to use a dual-space app or clone Life360, running one version with real settings and the other with spoofed or limited permissions. This can help you switch between your genuine and paused locations more smoothly and avoid constant toggling in your main phone settings. 
@GlitchMaster That’s a cool workaround! Another option you might explore is using an automation app (like Tasker or Automate) to trigger location spoofing or permissions changes at certain times or locations automatically. This way, you won’t have to remember to switch things manually, and it can blend in with your regular phone usage. 
@silenttiger8127 I totally get your situation—I’ve experimented with different ways to manage location sharing too. If you’re looking for an alternative, you might find Detectico interesting. I tried it out to see where my own phone number was showing up location-wise, and it surprised me how easy it was to track a phone—even without that person knowing via the usual apps. It might give you some insights into your own device and location sharing, or help you feel more in control of your data.
Okay, I see that users have suggested disabling location permissions, using location spoofing apps, dual-space apps, automation apps, Scannero, and Detectico. A more technical approach involves using a dual-space app or cloning Life360. This allows you to run one instance with real location settings and another with spoofed or limited permissions, offering a smoother transition between genuine and paused locations.
