Method 1: Cancel via App Settings
Open the Life360 app
Launch the Life360 app on your phone. Tap the Settings gear icon, usually in the top-left or bottom navigation. You need to be the Circle admin or the account holder who originally purchased the premium plan.
Go to Membership or Subscription
Tap Membership, Subscription, or Manage Plan. This shows your current Life360 plan (Gold, Platinum, etc.), what it includes, and when your next billing date is.
Tap Cancel or Manage via App Store
If Life360 directs you to your app store, follow the link. Otherwise, tap Cancel Membership within the app. Life360 may offer a downgrade to a cheaper plan or a discount to stay -- decline if you want to fully cancel.
Confirm through your app store if needed
iPhone: You will likely be sent to Settings > Your Name > Subscriptions > Life360 to complete cancellation. Android: Open Google Play Store > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions > Life360. Cancel from there to stop billing.
Method 2: Cancel on the Life360 Website
Log in to life360.com
Go to life360.com and sign in with your account credentials. Navigate to your account settings or subscription management page.
Cancel your premium plan
Find the Cancel option in your subscription settings. Confirm the cancellation. This method works if you subscribed directly through Life360's website rather than through an app store.
Pro Tip: The Free Tier Is Actually Pretty Good
Life360's free tier includes location sharing, place alerts (when family members arrive/leave locations), and a limited crash detection feature. For many families, this is all they need. Premium mainly adds driving reports, roadside assistance, crime reports, and extended location history.
What Happens After You Cancel Life360?
Location sharing continues for free
The core feature -- seeing where your family members are on a map -- remains free. Your circles, place alerts, and basic location sharing all keep working on the free plan.
Premium features disappear
You lose driving reports, SOS alerts, crime reports, identity theft protection, roadside assistance, and extended location history (depending on your plan). The 30-day location history drops to a shorter window.
Crash detection changes
Advanced crash detection and emergency dispatch are premium features. The free tier may still include basic crash detection, but the automatic emergency response requires a paid plan.
Family members are not affected
Canceling your premium does not remove anyone from your circles. Your family members still show up on the map and can still share locations. They just lose access to the premium features that came with your subscription.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a refund from Life360?
Refunds are handled by your app store (Apple or Google), not by Life360 directly. If you were recently charged, you can request a refund through Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com) or Google Play (play.google.com/store/account). Success depends on how recently the charge occurred.
Will my family lose access to Life360 if I cancel premium?
No. Your circles and location sharing continue on the free plan. Everyone in your circle can still see each other. They just lose the premium features like driving reports, extended history, and roadside assistance.
How do I cancel if I do not see a cancel option in the app?
Most Life360 subscriptions are billed through Apple or Google. Go directly to your phone settings: iPhone: Settings > Your Name > Subscriptions. Android: Google Play > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions. Find Life360 and cancel there.
Can I downgrade instead of canceling?
Yes, Life360 offers multiple tiers. If cost is the issue, you might be able to switch to a cheaper plan rather than canceling entirely. Check the available plans in your Life360 app settings or subscription management page.
