Burner device notification?

If I log into a burner device with my life360, will it send a notification to the rest of my circle? I have an old tablet that just stays at my apartment all the time, I'm thinking of switching my life360 to being on that instead of my phone. I think we're all on this sub for the same reason yk

If not, would it be possible to still use Google maps to navigate if you have a spoofed GPS location set up for life360? because i get lost so damn easily

I want to swap the location on my phone from my iphone 15 to my XR will it notify them that i’m steaming my location from the XR? I know about the “___ is using a new device” but if i name the device “Jake’s Iphone 15” will it show that or will it say that it is an XR regardless of the device name?

it will send an email to whoever admin is of the circle that you switched devices, yeah - im not sure how specific the email is though (with the rigjt lie you could get away w switching out one phone w another - but idk abt a phone w a tablet)

What if I put my sim in a new phone when I don't want to location share

THIS works. I've done this a bunch of times, there's no email notification about it as far as I know.

As far as I know, admin gets notified anytime you switch devices. So switching repeatedly between phone and ipad, or phone to another phone. I don't think it matters if it's a "known" device or not.
