HeyPolo vs. Life360: I tried both location-sharing apps, and there's a clear winner

This ZDNET review compares HeyPolo — a new consent-first, privacy-focused location-sharing app from Surfshark — with established provider Life360, evaluating permissions, user controls, privacy policies, and feature sets. The article highlights HeyPolo's emphasis on granular consent, transparency, and abuse-mitigation plans, while noting Life360's mature, always-on tracking, advanced driver and emergency features, and free tier; it raises concerns about the potential for location-tracking apps to be abused but is primarily a product evaluation rather than a security incident report.
