Uber and Life360 want to make teen rides easier to track and manage

#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?

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.
