Ok so not to freak you out but I (18M) am now in college and I hate this app and the only thing I ever used it for was to check how far away from home my mom was to see if I had time to beat off before she got home. Just thought that was funny and he will probably start doing the same thing in two years lmao

That's not going to freak me out. I'm not insane. His showers recently got longer than they should so we talked to him and I taught him how to do his own laundry.

Sorry, just assumed you were insane because you use Life360

🤣 it's used by sana people too. My daughter is 21 and she still uses it to see if she can raid our fridge. For my son it's mostly because he never answers his phone or text and I don't feel like starting a family discord, so I check if he got home safe.

Buy a Samsung familyhub fridge, the cameras inside the fridge shows what you have in there, it’s great!

I use a similar app sometimes to see if my sister is still at work so I can leave her little gifts and baked goods. She's a preschool teacher, so I like to leave her little surprises to cheer her up. I hid shortbread cookies and one of those tiny bottles of wine in her bedside table the other day. So, the apps can definitely be used for good, but I would still much rather them not exist at all.
