Originally Published 2 years ago — by Business Insider
Gen Z is increasingly comfortable with their parents using location tracking apps to monitor their whereabouts, with apps like Life360 seeing a surge in downloads. Safety is the primary reason cited for sharing location information, particularly among young women who believe it enhances their physical wellbeing. The embrace of these apps is believed to be driven by rising levels of anxiety among younger generations. Long-distance driving and visiting new or dangerous places are common reasons for using these apps, and they also serve as a way to show affection and maintain friendships.
