Keep Personal Stops Private
Keep errands, appointments, and personal visits from becoming details everyone can follow.

LocaChange can change the GPS position on a supported iPhone or Android phone. Use Universal Mode for Life360, select a place, and apply it. Then check the Life360 map and update time; phone permissions, connectivity, and app behavior affect what your Circle sees.
With LocaChange, you can keep your virtual location fixed instead of simulating movement. If Life360 continues to report that spot without crossing a saved Place boundary, it should not trigger new arrival or departure alerts. However, switching to that location or restoring your real position may trigger an alert.
LocaChange offers a free trial with usage limits. Try the setup on your device and check the location shown in Life360 before choosing a plan.
