What is Trusted Contacts?

Trusted Contacts is a personal safety and emergency response app developed by Google. It was launched in 2016 to help users feel more secure when traveling or facing risky situations.

The main feature of Trusted Contacts is the ability to designate family members, friends, or others as trusted emergency contacts. If a user requests help or does not check in after a period of time, their trusted contacts are automatically notified and provided with the user's last known location to coordinate assistance.

Additional capabilities in the app allow users to manually share their real-time location with contacts for a duration of time. There are also options to enable location sharing automatically in certain situations, such as traveling on public transit late at night. An SOS alert can also be triggered in the app to immediately notify all trusted contacts and provide the latest location.

Trusted Contacts uses Google location services to maintain and update user locations. The app focuses on personal safety, communication with selected trusted individuals in a user's network, and providing information to assist users in emergency situations.
