Look, I get I'm being a bit of an asshole with this answer, but given what little you've provided it's the only one I can think of: get a phone (a google pixel) that can install an operating system that actually cares about your privacy (grapheneos). Then use its sandboxing to protect you from privacy invasion generally, and Life360 specifically.
Ehhh, graphene may not be the best rec anymore given Google isn't publishing AOSP source anymore and we don't know if we can force them to through court. postmarketOS seems good, probably, but I've never tried it myself. Calling any other opinions!
The team has already stated existing pixels will remain supported. The Pixel 8 for example still has support until around 2030. Its still viable to recommend them.
It will last until GOS hopefully gets their own hardware.
Which I think has always been the case. Relying on Google for anything really is a fools errand.
Not sure what you mean. They weren't actively pursuing that previously.
What I mean is relying on pixels in the first place. The only way their project was ever sustainslable long term was getting their own device, that has always been true. And even then, google might pull the rug on AOSP anyways.
That said, I'm using them and will continue to use them until the wheels fall off, its far and away the best mobile phone OS available at the moment and still recommend them.
