Family Ping Check-In

You call your mum. It rings and rings. Is she out at the shops, or has something happened? Family Ping answers that question before it turns into worry. She keeps Family Ping on her phone, you keep it on yours. When she gets home, you'll know. If she needs help, one button reaches you. WHAT YOU SEE • Whether she is at home, and how long ago her phone was last heard from • A note when she leaves or gets back to the place she chose • Her battery, and whether her phone is still connected — often the first sign something is off • Her last known place, one tap away in your own maps app • An "I need help" alert that rings your phone loudly • An "I am okay" she can send whenever she likes • A quick check that tells you if your own phone is quietly muting her alerts WHAT SHE DECIDES Family Ping is made for adults and set up together, on two phones. She installs it on her own phone, picks her own safe place, and can stop sharing whenever she wants. Her phone tells her every time you ask where she is. There is no history of where she has been — only the most recent place, shown with how old it is. SAFE-PLACE ALERTS USE LOCATION IN THE BACKGROUND To tell you when she leaves or returns to her safe place, Family Ping uses her phone's location in the background, including when the app is closed. That is all it is used for. She is told before her phone asks, and she can turn it off at any time in her phone's settings. GOOD TO KNOW Family Ping is not an emergency service and does not call emergency services. "I need help" reaches you, and no one else. Alerts depend on the phones, their batteries and the network, and can be delayed or fail to arrive. Free. No ads. Nothing sold. In English, Svenska and Română.
