Practical setup

Concrete steps to set up a phone, contacts and reminders before you actually need them.

Set up the phone, notifications and actions so they are understandable, then practise the route with its user.

Check time and Stop using Android’s notification or iPhone Live Activity. Distinguish stopped GPS, confirmed ending and retention.

Read distance, capture time and accuracy in My Safe Circle maps: straight-line distance, optional permission and local calculation. Preview 2.3.

Read OK, SOS and waiting in the new Home: signal age, filters, messages and actions from contact details. Version 2.3 preview.

Explore Home, countdowns, requests and receipts in My Safe Circle Demo: fictional people, simulated sends and limits of real-world testing.

Before travel, check connectivity and your mobile plan. GPS may capture a point while the network cannot send it to your contacts.

SOS and a live session are separate actions. In the version you can start sharing from the receipt, but a separate confirmation is required.

Terminals, floors and platforms can have almost the same coordinates. Pair location with access directions and a reachable meeting point.

There is no universal consumption figure for every phone. Use a controlled comparison to estimate battery and data use on your own device.

A map point does not automatically identify a floor, room or entrance. Add directions the recipient can actually use to reach you.
