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?

Which I think has always been the case

Not sure what you mean. They weren't actively pursuing that previously.

What I mean is relying on pixels in the first place. The only way their project was ever sustainslable long term was getting their own device, that has always been true. And even then, google might pull the rug on AOSP anyways.

That said, I'm using them and will continue to use them until the wheels fall off, its far and away the best mobile phone OS available at the moment and still recommend them.
