| I use both for my 13 year old. They have slightly different features. |

Depends on what level of surveillance you want -- Find My is just going to tell you where their phone is. Life 360 is going to give you driving reports, history of location, more info than Find my.

| I use the both the find friends and free version of life 360 with our teens. The free version gives history for the current day only and no driver report. |

| Both and throw an AirTag on the car keys so they don’t get lost |

| Neither. Spying on kids like this is creepy. |

| Neither. Apple find my phone IF you need to find them occasionally. |

| We have both. Sometimes "Find My..." bugs out. Sometimes Life360 bugs out. I only check them when my kid is out on his own and I want to make sure he's arrived safely. |

| We have both too and I rarely check, only when kid is running late and can't be reached. |

This. Kids are now 17 and 20. Plus DH tossed AirTags in all of our cars, in the event they get stolen (and they’ve come in handy a few times when we forgot where we parked!) so we could theoretically find the car in an emergency if we needed to. We do not check our kids’ locations routinely. |

| Neither. No good will come of it |

I have life 360 ( free version) for my 11yo and if she’s in a car it tells me how fast she is going. If she’s on foot it says if she moving or not. |

+1 My kid shares location on occasion when I ask. For example, when he's riding his bike at night because I worry until he gets to his destination or returns home. Otherwise, no spying on my 16 year old. |
