Google's New Trusted Contacts Android App for Personal Safety
Google just introduced a new Trusted Contacts app for Android, which allows you to share your location with family members and close friends when needed. You identify the people you trust with the information. After that, you and they can use the app to:
* Find you -- even if your phone is offline. A trusted contact can ask for your location. You would receive a notice of the request and could respond without sharing your location if you're okay. If you were not to respond within five minutes, your trusted contact would receive your phone's location -- or where it was when it was online last.
* Ask a trusted contact to "walk you home." If you were to find yourself somewhere you feel unsafe, you could send your location to a trusted contact until you feel you are safe again, at which point you can easily stop sending your location.
Of course, you can easily remove someone as a trusted contact if your relationship with them were to change.
