How To Use Mobile Phone For Your Personal Safety

Have you ever felt unsafe while travelling alone and wished there was an automated way to notify your friends and family in case of an emergency? StaySafe is an Android and iOS app that allows you to automatically inform your emergency contacts and send them your latest GPS location, in case you don't check in to your app after a predefined time period. Just start the countdown on the app for a predefined amount of time and in case you don't cancel the countdown before it ends, StaySafe will automatically inform you emergency contacts. Unlike other location-sharing apps, StaySafe does not require any intervention from your side-so it is perfect to send out an alarm in case you get into some danger.

To use StaySafe download the app to your mobile phone from the Google Play Store or the iTunes app store. Enter your name and contact number, so that your emergency contacts know your identity when they are informed that you may be in danger.

Choose a PIN or password for your StaySafe account. After that select the people from your address book whom you want StaySafe to inform in case of an emergency. You are now ready to use StaySafe to inform your emergency contacts in case you are in danger. Whenever you start a journey on which you want StaySafe to look out for your safety, simply press the Start Countdown button. You will be asked to enter the duration of your journey, from which the app will start counting down. If required, you can increase the duration of your journey manually later; but if you do not cancel the countdown before it ends, StaySafe will automatically send your current location and inform all your emergency contacts that something is wrong.



Your emergency contacts will receive an email or sms with a link to a web page that shows you current location and also the entire path you took since you started the countdown.
