#Apple 's people location sharing on #FindMy is actually pretty nice - it's so simple to setup. If you have old parents for instance, it's nice to just get on the app on their #iPhone, share location (indefinitely) to your number, and then you can just check out where they are from the Find My app on your phone at any time, rather than make them remember to always start a live location sharing on #WhatsApp or wtv. I reckon it might not take as much battery life too, as I imagine it only pings for its location when you're looking for it.
That being said, if you do wish to set up notifications for this location tracking, it's gonna be painful and not worth it lol - for that, you're best left with #Life360 which you could easily set up certain 'zones' i.e. home, workplace, etc. and you'll always be notified if anyone in your circle's left or arrived a zone, and even nicer, even if it's not a pre-defined zone - it'll still tell you if they've stopped or left from a location. If you don't need this tho, Find My is the way to go. -

Life360, the 'family safety' app, is now venturing into pet tech with a new GPS tracker for your cats and dogs. Because who *doesn't* want a full location history of Mittens' midnight escapades? Just imagine the debugging logs if it malfunctions!
What's the most absurd thing you'd track with this?

Cancelled our subscription to #life360 today after they increased the subscription by an additional two quid per month. There is no point in paying for it considering all of the same (useful) functionality exists natively in #HomeAssistant ! Another win for the Open Home! That’s going to save me almost a hundred euros per year (which is insane to pay for an app we use a couple of times a week!)

Lawsuit: Allstate used GasBuddy and other apps to quietly track driving behavior
Texas has sued insurance provider Allstate, alleging that the firm and its data broker subsidiary used data from apps like #GasBuddy, #Routely, and #Life360 to quietly track drivers and adjust or cancel their policies.
#Allstate and Arity, a “mobility data and analytics” firm founded by Allstate in 2016, collected “trillions of miles worth of location data” from more than 45 million people, then used that data to adjust rates, according to Texas’ lawsuit.
Texas’ lawsuit claims that Arity incentivized—through “generous bonus incentives”—apps like GasBuddy, a gas price-tracking app, and Life360, which is intended to keep tabs on family members’ location, to “increas[e] the size of their dataset.” The suit also cites Allstate as gathering direct car use data from Toyota, Lexus, Mazda, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, Maserati, and Ram vehicles.

Tiles. They go on your roof — or they can be used to find lost or stolen items. It’s the latter kind of Tile I’m testing in my latest review, with some quite mixed results…

Getting to test #Life360 in hurricane conditions in Rotonda West, FL. #HurricaneMilton #Survivors
Our family friend's location lost accuracy during the worst of the storm last night. Kind of scary considering 125 tornado warnings south of the eye. Data seems to have corrected itself this morning and I'm able to see she's charging her phone.
Thank goodness for gps
She doesn't have an iPhone 14 or higher to test the satellite connection, but we have another friend in Cape Corral, FL who does.

Lilbits: Furi FLX1 Linux smartphone, Tile’s new Bluetooth trackers, and Haiki OS R1 Beta 5
The Furi FLX1 is a $499 smartphone from with a 6.6 inch FHD+ 120 Hz IPS LCD display, a MediaTek Dimensity 900 processor, 6GB of RAM, 128GB of storage, and a 50MP primary camera. Basically it has the specs of a mid-range Android phone, but instead of Android this phone ships with a Linux-based operating system called Furi OS.
First introduced earlier this year, the phone had limited support […]

Ok in my partner and I's search for a good (enough) #Life360 alternative for real time, constant location sharing, we've decided to try out #Apple's #FindMy and #Google's #GoogleMaps. Both of them were ridiculously complicated to setup and severely limited compared to what they're potentially replacing - in different ways.
Find My:
For whatever reason, for days after we had set up location sharing for each other, neither of us could actually detect our location on the app. More surprisingly, eventually, my device was able to pick up my partner's location but not vice versa. Weird but Apple's Find My has always been crappy and unreliable since its existence so I shouldn't be surprised.
Setting up location-based notifications is ridiculously tedious and... disgusting how stupid and redundant it is: 1) You need to search for the location manually 2) You need to choose ONLY ONE trigger for the notification i.e. when they leave, arrive, or when they're not there. If you need more than one trigger, you gotta repeat this manual process again and again, including searching for the location because there's no clean/unified way of saving + labeling locations and reusing them.
As if that wasn't enough, each notification you added will need the other party to approve it first which is fine if it was the way you'd expect Apple should do it i.e. the other party receive a notification of the request where they can approve/deny immediately after the request was made BUT NO. The other party will only receive the request notification after the trigger occurs i.e. when they start driving away from a location or arrive at a location, etc. So fucking weird, makes me wonder what fucking idiots do they have working at Apple.
All in all, garbage - don't use it. I've a bunch of Apple devices and AirTags I have available on Find My and I actually, genuinely never expect to be able to locate them should they ever get lost because I'm incredibly aware how unreliable that piece of crap is.

My partner and I have been subscribed to and using #Life360 for years to share our locations and get notifications of our whereabouts in real time but we likely won't continue after the (gratefully, early) announcement ~1-2 months ago that it was going to increase the monthly subscription price from RM11.90 to RM29.90.
Now we need to find a replacement, and the first thing that comes to mind was #Apple's #FindMy - but that thing has always been unreliable and I had serious doubts whether it'd work, and from our testing just a moment ago - it simply couldn't find our locations at all lol no matter what we did. So... pretty much unusable. Googling the issue seems to return the same complaints by a lot others on Apple's Forums and with no solution in sight.
The other alternative I've found seems to just use #GoogleMaps, though we haven't tried it yet and I'm not sure if it'd work like Life360 where in addition to seeing our locations in real time on the map, we'd get notifications when they've arrived a certain location, etc. on the app. -

CW: sex trafficking ment
Life360 is the “family safety app” (child phone monitoring app) so invasive that it was user by sex traffickers to monitor and control victims. The app was working as intended, since parents used it to control children in a similar fashion. Tile, also used abusively, was bought by Life360. They now sell location data to cops.
After news broke about sex traffickers using Life360, nothing much changed at the company. Now there’s a data breach of Tile.
Hacker Accesses Internal ‘Tile’ Tool That Provides Location Data to Cops.
I wonder what these people tell themselves to sleep at night.
