What’s the best way to get around it?

I’m 20F and living with my parents (in a country where that’s the norm). I usually go from uni to hang out with friends then go home. They’re very strict and it’s kind of complicated but I’ll just get to the point.

Just a few months ago I used to just turn off wifi from settings then disable data for the app and it worked perfectly, didn’t show history or anything, however in the recent updates that changed. I tried the same but with low battery mode and still showed history.

I’ve been scrolling here for about an hour now and I’ve only seen people either say turn off wifi and do the same thing I did or offload the app (not delete).

So if offloading the app really is the way, I need to know details of their pov. Does it show a grey profile? Say offline? Notify them in any way? Does it show history after redownloading? They don’t really care if the location jumps so these are my only concerns.

Edit: guys I’m in an arab country I can’t get kicked out I would literally risk my life. Girls can’t leave their parents house unless they’re married, but I just wanna live my life peacefully so please help if you can. I understand that it’s hard to comprehend a different culture/society but that’s just how it works here.

Edit: I tried offloading it today. Worked perfectly. I recommend if anyone’s wondering. The profile was normal just said last updated x hours ago. I redownloaded after about 5-6 hours. When I redownloaded it, it didn’t show any history my location just jumped to where I was. For sneaking out however, I’m not sure if it would say that you left the house or not.
