Sadly, Life360 doesn’t offer a simple “Delete Circle” button. The app doesn’t have a direct option for removing a Circle, but there are ways to to it. This article will explain everything you need to do to delete Circles in Life360.
What is Life360 Circle?
A Life360 Circle is a group you create within the Life360 app to stay connected with specific people. In a Circle, members can share their real-time location and communicate through messages. Each Circle is private, meaning only the people in that group can see the shared information.
You can create different Circles for different purposes. For example, you might have one Circle for your family, another one for close friends, and maybe even a separate one for coworkers. Each Circle works independently, so you can control what you share and with whom.
