SafePing: SOS Location Share

SafePing is a personal safety and emergency SOS app: double-tap the home screen widget or the Quick Settings tile, and your trusted contacts get an SMS with your live location link — no need to open the app. They can follow your real-time location and route in any web browser, without installing anything. ■ 3 ways to trigger SOS - Home screen widget (1x1): tap once and your phone vibrates while the widget shows "TAP AGAIN", then tap again within 5 seconds. SOS starts silently, without opening the app or showing any screen. - Quick Settings tile: pull down the status bar and double-tap the "SafePing SOS" tile. It works from the lock screen too, without opening the app. - In the app: press and hold the big SOS button for 3 seconds. ■ Key features - Automatic SMS with your location link to emergency contacts - Staged alerts (Premium): primary contacts are alerted right away; if no one confirms, secondary contacts after 5 minutes and third contacts after 10 minutes - Real-time location and movement route sharing - Surrounding audio recording (Premium) - Recipients open the link in a web browser, no app needed - Share the location link from your phone's share menu: text messages, messenger apps, and more - SOS report and history after the situation ends - An active SOS stops automatically after at most 5 hours ■ No background battery drain SafePing doesn't run in the background in normal use, and it doesn't collect or share your location. It works only when you trigger SOS, so it won't weigh on your battery. Your situation is shared only through the SOS link sent to your trusted contacts. ■ Recommended for - People returning home alone at night - Parents or guardians concerned about family safety - People hiking, traveling, or going on business trips alone - People moving through unfamiliar or higher-risk places - Anyone who may not be able to explain their situation during an emergency ■ Premium subscription - Register up to 9 emergency contacts - Manage primary, secondary, and third contact groups - Surrounding audio recording - Extended SOS history and report storage SafePing helps your trusted contacts understand what is happening when you may not be able to speak. ■ SMS Permission Notice SafePing uses the Send SMS (SEND_SMS) permission to automatically send a text message with a location link to your registered emergency contacts when you trigger SOS. This is a core feature that alerts your contacts even when you cannot speak or operate the screen during an emergency. A text is sent only when you trigger SOS.

More reliable SOS without opening the app • Tap the home screen widget or Quick Settings tile twice to send SOS silently. You can add both right from the home screen. • Removed the volume-button trigger, which didn't work reliably on every phone. • SafePing no longer runs in the background, so it uses far less battery. Its notification now appears only during an SOS. • Accessibility permission is no longer needed. Add the widget and tile before you need them.
