Lifeinvader is an online social networking service and company in Grand Theft Auto V.[1] LifeInvader was founded by CEO Jay Norris in his parents' house.
Lifeinvader Tablet
Lifeinvader also has a tablet. Not much about it is currently known, but it seems to be parodying the unsuccessful, real-life Facebook Home phones, phones optimized for Facebook and having integrated options for the social network.
According to the released commercial, the device appears to be a combination between a regular tablet and a flashlight that can be used to "Dock" with other users in the social network.

Trivia
- LifeInvader is a parody of Facebook. The interface is based on the old Facebook Wall instead of the current Timeline.
- It's name is a joke referring to invading other people's lives, also known as stalking. It may also be a reference to the lack of privacy in social networks. The website also satirizes internet memes.
- Jimmy can be seen, literally, stalking Niko Bellic's Lifeinvader page.
- Somewhere in the offices there is a sign that says "KEEP CALM AND CARRY ON SHARING". This is likely a Pirate Bay easter egg, and more extensively, a reference to Steve Jobs - whom Jay Norris was partially modeled off of and who once stated that "good artists copy - great artists steal."
- One of the colors for life invader is white text in a red background, a reference to YouTube, as the "Tube" in YouTube is white text in a red background.
