Life360 Launches No Show Alerts to Ease Parents’ Back-To-School Scheduling Stress
New Feature Alerts if a Loved One Doesn’t Make It Somewhere They’re Supposed to Be, Supporting Families During the Most Chaotic Time of the Year
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- (Nasdaq: LIF; ASX: 360), the leading family connection and safety company, today announced No Show Alerts, a new feature designed to give parents peace of mind without having to constantly check in. No Show Alerts sends a notification only if a loved one doesn’t arrive at a designated location by a certain time, helping families stay informed without having to actively monitor arrivals. In a recent survey of parents across the US, 53% cited the complexity of managing family schedules as a major back-to-school stressor, leading 67% to feel distracted at work.1 No Show Alerts offers a smart, silent safety net, so parents can check in less without losing peace of mind.
The customizable solution was created to help coordinate the seemingly increasing chaos of new back-to-school routines, as parents report spending an average of 10 hours per week on family logistics.1 So, whether it’s flagging that a sleepy teen missed homeroom again, or that a partner forgot they were on pickup duty, the No Show Alerts feature acts as a digital heads-up when plans go off-track so parents can step in early and keep the day running smoothly.
Having fewer mental tabs to keep track of will hopefully help parents stay on task this school year. Though it’s not uncommon for busy parents to lose track of all the responsibilities they’re juggling while adjusting to new back-to-school schedules. In fact, over two-thirds (69%) of surveyed parents say they’ve mixed up their kids’ after-school activity schedules, and nearly a quarter (23%) have even gone to the wrong pickup or drop-off location.1
“Coordination is generally a top concern for families, but this is especially true during the busy back-to-school season. In fact, new app downloads of Life360 actually peak during the weeks leading up to the first day of school,” says Mike Zeman, CMO at Life360. “No Show Alerts were designed to give parents peace of mind and mitigate the need to constantly check in on their kids’ whereabouts. It’s a tool to encourage trust in their families to get where they need to be, while still having a backup alert if they need to step in and see why someone didn’t make it to where they are supposed to be.”
