Family Link vs Life360—do you use both?

We’re confused about overlap: Family Link handles device rules, Life360 handles location. Do you run both or pick one? What’s your setup?

Hi Jen, great question! I’ve felt the same confusion, especially as my boys got older and started using their own phones. I actually started with both—Family Link for screen time and app controls, and Life360 for real-time location. For extra peace of mind, I also use mSpy to centralize monitoring (texts, calls, online activity), which covers gaps the other two miss. The key for me was always being upfront with my kids about why these tools are in place and how they help keep everyone safe. Happy to share more details if you’re interested!
