Google's Trusted Contacts App Now Lets iOS Users Share Their Locations

The app allows users to automatically share their locations with trusted friends and family members

Following the launch of the Trusted Contacts application on Android in December 2016, Google released the personal safety app on iOS devices. The app allows users to share their location with “trusted” contacts even if they’re offline or are unable to get to their devices.

With the Trusted Contacts app, users can mark specific contacts as “trusted,” and then share their location with these users at any time. For instance, if the user ever feels unsafe in their current environment, they can share their location with their trusted contacts for added security.

In addition, a trusted contact can request the user’s current location, and the user can deny the request if they’re safe.
