Live Progress

Live Progress allows you and your Circle members to follow trips in real time directly from a phone’s lock screen and in the Life360 app. It provides an ETA and route progress while you or someone in your Circle is on the move. Once the trip is complete, the lock screen card automatically closes.

How It Works

When you share a trip with your Circle members, a progress bar that includes your ETA will instantly pop up on your Circle members' lock screens. You can stop sharing your trip at any time.

All permissions must be enabled in order to share or receive Live Progress notifications. If you do not want to receive or send Live Progress notifications, you can turn them off in your settings.

Share Your Live Progress

1. Tap on the Share Trip icon on the right of the Life360 map.
2. Select your destination.
3. Tap on Share with Circle.
4. Your Circle will immediately see your live progress on their lock screens.

To edit your destination:

1. Open the Life360 app and tap on your profile picture.
2. Tap on the active Live Progress card under the map.
3. Tap on Change Destination.
4. Choose or search for a new destination. The progress bar and ETA will update for all active observers.

To stop sharing:

1. Open the Life360 app and tap on your profile picture.
2. Tap on the active Live Progress card under the map.
3. Tap on Stop Sharing Trip Progress.
4. All active observers will be notified and the lock screen card will disappear.

Turn Off Live Progress Notifications

1. In the Life360 app, tap on the Settings icon in the upper left corner.
2. Tap on Notifications.
3. Scroll down to Live Progress.
4. Tap on the toggle for individual Circle members to turn them on or off to control who you receive Live Progress notifications for.

⚠️ Turning off notifications for a specific Circle member will only affect your device. Other Circle members will still receive updates according to their own preferences.

Not Receiving Live Progress Notifications

If the Live Progress notifications do not display on your phone’s lock screen, check your phone’s settings to ensure that:

1. Your Push Notification permissions are enabled.
2. Your Lock Screen Notifications for the Life360 app are turned on and set to ‘Cards’ style.
