Where to find the setting on iPhone and Android

What Life360 data breach alerts actually do
Life360’s support pages describe Data Breach Alerts as a digital safety feature that notifies you if stolen information is found on the dark web. The feature helps alert you when your family’s stolen information appears where hackers buy and sell stolen data, and it is managed entirely from inside the Life360 app. Some users turn off these alerts due to alert fatigue from frequent notifications. Others may disable them due to privacy concerns about sharing personal information with alert services.
Can you turn data breach alerts back on?
Yes. Life360’s documented statement is that you can opt out at any time, which implies the toggle can be switched back on by following the same path and tapping the toggle again. No additional steps or carrier involvement are required.
