When Life360 shows the \u201cNo Network or Phone Off\u201d status, it doesn\u2019t always mean someone is deliberately hiding their location. Most of the time, it\u2019s caused by normal technical issues. Let\u2019s break down the most common reasons:<\/p>

1. Phone Is Turned Off or Battery Is Dead
