You can leave a Life360 group from the app on your phone in about two minutes
Life360 is a location-sharing app where families or groups of people can see each other's locations on a shared map. Leaving a group means you stop sharing your location with that group and they stop seeing where you are. The person who created the group (the account owner) cannot leave their own group — they can only delete it entirely, which removes everyone.
If you are a regular member of a Life360 group, you can leave whenever you want. The process is the same whether you are leaving a family group, a friend group, or any other shared circle. You do not need permission from anyone else, and the group owner is not notified that you left — though they will notice your location stops appearing on the map.
Key Takeaways
- Regular members can leave a Life360 group by opening the app, tapping the menu icon, selecting the group name, and choosing the leave option.
- The group owner cannot leave their own group; they must delete the entire group if they want to stop using it.
- When you leave, your location stops being shared with that group when ready, and you will no longer see their locations either.
- If you rejoin the same group later, the group owner must send you a new invite link.
Steps to leave a Life360 group on iPhone or Android
Open the Life360 app on your phone. At the bottom of the screen, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines, sometimes called a hamburger menu). This opens a list of your groups and account options.
Find the group you want to leave in the list and tap on it. The group name will expand to show more options. Look for a button or menu that says "Leave Group" or "Remove Me" — the exact wording depends on your app version, but the option will be near the bottom of the group settings. Tap it.
The app will ask you to confirm. Tap "Yes" or "Confirm" to finish leaving. You are now out of the group. Your location will stop being shared with them when ready, and you will no longer see their locations on your map.
What happens after you leave
Once you leave a group, that group no longer appears in your Life360 app. You will not receive notifications about their locations or movements. If the group owner sends you a new invite link later, you can rejoin by tapping the link and confirming that you want to be added back.
The group owner and other members will see that your location is no longer available on their map. Some versions of the app show a message like "Location unavailable" where your dot used to be. They cannot force you to stay in the group or see your location once you have left.
If you are the group owner and want to stop using Life360
If you created the group, you cannot leave it the way a regular member can. Instead, you must delete the entire group. This removes all members from the group at once. Open the app, go to the group settings, and look for a "Delete Group" or "Remove Circle" option. Confirm the deletion, and the group will be gone for everyone.
If you want to keep the group but step back from managing it, you can transfer ownership to another member. This option is usually in the group settings under "Transfer Owner" or "Change Owner." The new owner will then have full control of the group, and you can leave as a regular member.
Leaving a group on the Life360 website
You can also leave a group from the Life360 website on a computer. Go to life360.com and log in with your account. Click on the group name in the left sidebar, then look for group settings or options. The leave option is usually in a menu marked with three dots or under "More Options." Click it and confirm.
The website version works the same way as the app — you leave when ready and stop sharing your location with that group. Use whichever method is easiest for you.
Troubleshooting: You cannot find the leave option
If you do not see a "Leave Group" button, check whether you are the group owner. Open the group settings and look for text that says "Owner" or "Admin" next to your name. If you own the group, you will need to delete it or transfer ownership instead of leaving.
If you are not the owner but still cannot find the leave option, try updating the Life360 app to the latest version. Older versions sometimes have the option in a different location. Close the app completely, open your phone's app store (Google Play on Android or the App Store on iPhone), search for Life360, and tap "Update" if one is available.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the group owner know I left?
The group owner will not receive a notification that you left, but they will notice your location stops appearing on the map. If they check the group member list, they will see that you are no longer in the group.
Can I rejoin the same group after I leave?
Yes, but only if the group owner sends you a new invite link. You cannot rejoin on your own. Ask the group owner to send you the invite, tap the link on your phone, and confirm that you want to be added back.
What if I want to hide my location from just one person in the group?
Life360 does not have a feature to hide your location from individual members within a group. Your only option is to leave the entire group. If you want to share your location with some people but not others, you would need to be in separate groups.
Does leaving a group delete my Life360 account?
No. Leaving a group only removes you from that one circle. Your Life360 account stays active, and you remain in any other groups you belong to. To delete your entire account, you would need to go to account settings and choose to deactivate or delete your account.
Can I leave a group without the app?
Yes. You can leave a group from the Life360 website on a computer by logging in, selecting the group, and choosing the leave option from the group settings menu.
