I'm being forced into using Life360. Is there anything I can do? (lemmy.world)

I am being forced into installing Life360 on my phone, which as you all probably know, is a massive privacy violation. Just by looking through the AppStore data page, lots of sensitive information gets shared with third parties. There’s got to be a way to disable it, and only enable it when necessary right? Or am I out of options here? Even though it’s only slightly less of a privacy risk, I’d prefer using Apple’s find my service, which has most of the features that Life360 has, while also being built in to every iOS device. How do I reason with this person?

That's not entirely true and Graphene is still currently probably the best OS solution. Google isn't releasing as much stuff for the Pixel (which Graphene will be relying on in the future) but AOSP is still around and still getting releases.

Developing situation and I'm not laser-focused on it (I have other stuff on my mind like a broken bone and the fascism going on) hence "may", but this ^ is what I'm going off. Don't get me wrong, I run GrapheneOS myself and it's a great daily driver; I've just been looking for alternatives because of this news.

Alternatives are always good to have on the table but AOSP isn't going anywhere, just wanted to point that out.
