I'm being forced into using Life360. Is there anything I can do? (lemmy.world)

I am being forced into installing Life360 on my phone, which as you all probably know, is a massive privacy violation. Just by looking through the AppStore data page, lots of sensitive information gets shared with third parties. There’s got to be a way to disable it, and only enable it when necessary right? Or am I out of options here? Even though it’s only slightly less of a privacy risk, I’d prefer using Apple’s find my service, which has most of the features that Life360 has, while also being built in to every iOS device. How do I reason with this person?

Is carrying a second phone logged into a junk account an option for you?

I love that idea, but it would probably cost money because of a second SIM card. Maybe I could look into buying a prepaid card

Use Wi-Fi on the extra phone, or tether to your main phone that has A sim
