Introducing the Life360 Distress Feature

The distress feature in Life360 was invented to put minds at ease when walking home alone, at a party, or in any other situation in which you might feel alert. The feature allows you to pick friends that will be notified when you enter your programmed distress signal.

Help is just a few taps away...
