Family tracking apps
My partner has decided to install Life360 on all our phones to track the whereabouts of our school aged children. How do I make sure it doesn’t track me on meet with my IE?

If he does install it, just switch tracking for you for off but don’t tell him. Then if he says anything you’ll know he’s specifically looking at where you are. My response would then be something along the lines of I see the being tracked as an intrusion into my personal space like looking at my diary, that I’m always available and on call to everyone in the family and I’d just like a small piece of privacy in my life. That’s actually how I’ve always felt about being tracked even before IE and everyone in the family accepted that

Well I'd say you fecked it he's doing this why would he want you on it if it's just to keep the children safe
Saying that if he really wants to track you there are other ways

It works by tracking gps location, so there are several ways. Google “trick life360 location” and you’ll see there are several ways depending on what you’re trying to achieve .
But yes, I’d agree with other comments. This is really all about him tracking you..

My phone's power-saving settings don't work with the app. Nor does it have location permissions. Unfortunately (!) this means no-one can see my location. I can however see other people's which is quite handy.

Where there is a will, there is a way. Most important is to have a supportive IE partner who will work with you to troubleshoot issues rather than leave you alone to beat the tracker.

I had a partner who had 360 on her phone. She used to pretend she was at dance class and leave her phone in her car parked outside the class. We would then go elewhere and i would drop her back off at the car later.

We have this for our family and I have point blankly refused to have it including me.
Ok for kids, but creepy if your life partner is watching your every move !

Sounds like your partner is on to you or controlling.
Just say life 360 has been jacked and you will never feel safe thinking someone is following you.
Just dig your heels very emotionally/irrationally over this point!
Then watch out for other tracking devices on your person property.
If you find one you know you are in trouble . Ditto above
Next find somewhere different you can go to regularly and see if you get a reaction. Ditto above.
Next clean up evidence on your phone, junk and trash bins etc and show him/her something on your phone and leave it with them unlocked for a few minuets, see what happens, if nothing otherwise ditto above
Does your partner allow access to his phone if not ditto above
Phone sharing by both is a sign of trust, otherwise ditto above!
If you have a secret hide it in plain sight

In the grand scheme of things ….you don’t need all of those ridiculous apps ……have the ones that aid you for your own personal needs ….use your brain functions then no paper trail ..🙂
