Safe Drive Reviews

Safe Drive Reviews allow you to see Events during drives including top speed, instances of rapid acceleration and hard braking, and distracted driving from cell phone usage.

Follow these steps to turn on Safe Drive Reviews for your Circle Members:

Step 1: Enable Drive Detection for yourself

  • Launch Life360

  • Tap Settings in the menu

  • Tap Driving Analysis

  • Drag the button right until it turns green

Step 2: Enable Drive Detection for your Circle members

  • Follow Step 1 above on each Circle member’s phone

  • Each of their buttons must be green on their phones in order to be detected

  • If ‘Drive Detection Paused’ is listed, this Circle member has not enabled their Drive Detection

Step 3: Receive notifications after your Circle members’ drives

  • Tap Driving in the menu

  • Drag the button right until it turns green to turn on notifications for a Circle member

  • Drag the button left until it turns white to turn off notifications for a Circle member

Step 4: View Safe Drive Reviews

  • Tap on a Circle member to view their History

  • Drives are marked separately from trips, ex: “7 mi Drive”. Scroll through History to view 30 days of trips and drives

  • Click on a particular Drive to view its Safe Drive Review. Events will be clickable on the map and listed at the bottom. They are listed with time and location of each instance

Safe Drive Reviews include Events for each drive. Listed below is the meaning of each Event. These are tracked while the phone is in motion in a vehicle and is not dependent on the Circle member being the driver.

Crash Detection

Accidents happen, and we’ll send help to you and your loved ones as quickly as possible. Life360’s proprietary system automatically detects a car accident based on the sensors of your phone. Tested over millions of miles, our smart algorithms can detect the difference between a car accident and dropping your phone on the ground. You can’t always be there, but we can.
