Additional FAQs

How Many Members Can Be in One Circle?

According to the Life360 website, there can be up to 99 members in one Circle. However, the app will run smoothly and accurately only if there are less than 10 members in a Circle. If you add more than that, the app may experience glitches, and the overall performance won’t be as good.

Are People Notified When I Remove Them From the Circle?

People get a notification from Life360 every time they’re removed from a Circle. Although they are aware they’re no longer in a particular Circle, they don’t know the identity of the person that removed them.

However, if the removed people are aware that you’re the only admin of the Circle, they’ll automatically know it was you who removed them.
