My daughter’s Life360 app has been super glitchy lately and isn’t tracking her location properly, so I know I need to get the latest version installed. I usually just grab her device when she’s asleep to handle updates, but lately she’s been keeping it locked up tight at night. Is there any way for me to force the update remotely from my own account, or do I just need to ask her to do it herself and hope she actually follows through?
Honestly the easiest fix here is just enabling auto-updates on her Google Play account — if you have her Google account credentials or it’s linked to a family group, you can toggle that on and Play Store handles it automatically, no sneaking around needed. 
If you’ve got Google Family Link set up, that’s your best friend for this stuff — you can manage apps remotely without ever touching her phone. Otherwise yeah, just ask her to update it; Life360 actually works better when the kid knows it’s there anyway since it builds way less resentment than finding out later.
