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?

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.
