Seven New Features We Love about Australia’s Most Popular Family Safety App

As the conversation around the safety of families – in particular women – continues, Life 360, has announced the rollout of a suite of features under a new triple-tier membership structure. With two million Aussie users, Life360 is well established as Australia’s leading family safety and location app. And, the 15th most used app in the country, according to iOS data. It provides families with a range of driving and safety features. Offering convenient connection with their loved ones – whether that’s coordinating day-to-day life or keeping them safe in emergencies. Now, developers have designed the new features to provide even greater peace of mind at a time when everything from data breaches to Australia’s road toll is on the rise. With the introduction of several standout features aimed at enhancing family safety and peace of mind.

  1. Emergency Dispatch. In addition to alerting users’ Circle members and emergency contacts, emergency teams will be dispatched when a car crash over 40 km/h is detected via Life360’s Crash Detection or the SOS button is activated.
  2. Data Breach Alerts. Life360 actively scans the dark web to detect potential breaches and immediately alerts members.
  3. Identity Theft Protection. Life360 provides guidance for identity restoration and offers options for stolen funds reimbursement.
  4. Unlimited Place Alerts. Building on Life360’s most-loved feature, members can now get a heads-up as family members come and go from an unlimited number of locations. All without lifting a finger.
  5. Enhanced Road Safety: Last year marked the deadliest year on Australian roads for half a decade. With fatalities jumping as much as 61% in some states. Ensuring the safety of your loved ones is easier with Life360’s free Crash Detection. Which can detect collisions over 40km/h, promptly contact the driver or passenger involved and alert their Circle members if there’s no response. Now, users with Gold and Platinum membership have the option to include emergency services dispatch with Crash Detection. In addition, Gold and Platinum members can now benefit from Life360’s new Breakdown Assistance. Which allows any member of the family Circle to request 24/7 roadside assistance for towing, flat tyres, lost keys, extra petrol or other needs.
  6. Digital Security for Peace of Mind. With a rising concern over data breaches, Life360 introduces Data Breach Alerts and Identity Theft Protection. This provides peace of mind in the ever-evolving digital landscape. Data Breach Alerts actively scan the dark web to detect potential breaches and immediately alert members. In case of identity theft, Life360’s partner specialists provide guidance for recovery and offer options for stolen funds reimbursement.
  7. Life360: Protecting What Matters Most. Finally, Life360 now extends its offering to protect not only loved ones but also their most important everyday items. A Tile Bluetooth tracker is now included as part of Life360 Gold and Platinum memberships. Simply attach Tiles to everyday essentials like bikes, keys, and school bags. And, users can link their accounts for free to see everyone and everything that matters most in one place on their Life360 map.
