The idea of a personal safety app
Truecaller says they wanted to crowdsource personal safety just like the crowdsource protection against spam and frauds. The users will be able to sign up on the application by an existing Truecaller account.
Also, the personal safety app will work with the police. Truecaller has plans to enable the support within the application to get help from local law enforcement. It is looking for local law enforcement agencies to partner with for providing support to the users.
How will Truecaller guardians work?
The application will ask the users to select the personal guardians from their contact list. The users can choose when to stop or start sharing location with the Guardians. Also, can permanently share their location with the selected contacts.
However, uh the application shares location steadily to preserve the battery life. When the user switches the application to emergency mode It will share the precise location of the user to his or her guardians.

Lastly, the application will allow the Guardians to call or message the user with one tap feature. Safety is the most important thing right now and that is why Truecaller is launching the Guardians app on March 8.
