Reportedly, the app has been jointly designed by the company's teams in Stockholm and Bengaluru. “By choosing trusted people as your Guardians, and allowing them to see where you are, you can have peace of mind, and protection in case anything goes wrong”. The firm states that “as exploring new places, walking home alone, meeting someone you don’t know” are all activities that can be deemed unsafe, Guardians aims to make phones the main line of defence. This will help users in knowing exactly how strong is the network or what is the battery life. There is an emergency sharing option to send an alarm to the contacts included in the app and the provision to see the status of the phone. The app allows the option to share your GPS location privately with those you trust or keep the location sharing feature always on. Other than them, there will be ‘Community Guardians’ on the app, available to help the user if they are in any distress. The users will be able to invite their friends and family, asking them to be registered as their guardians. Users of Truecaller will be able to sign up for Guardians with a simple tap and the app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store for free.
