Why Download SOS Alert?
Live GPS Location Sharing
Every SOS alert can include your real-time location, helping trusted contacts know exactly where you are and respond faster during personal safety, medical, or travel emergencies.
Trusted Contacts and Groups
Build a private safety network for family, friends, coworkers, caregivers, or students. Add trusted contacts, create emergency groups, and alert multiple people at once. Mutual approval is required before contacts connect.
Private, Secure, and Ad-Free
Encrypted communication, no ads, and your data is never sold. SOS Alert works like a modern urgent pager for moments when normal calls and texts may be missed.
How SOS Alert Works
1. Add Trusted Contacts
Invite family, friends, or coworkers and create private emergency groups. Contacts must mutually approve before they are connected.
2. Send an SOS Alert
Tap once in the app, use the home screen widget, press a volume button on Android, or use Back Tap on iOS to send an urgent alert with your live location.
3. Get Help Faster
Your trusted contacts receive a loud, hard-to-miss alert — even on Silent or Do Not Disturb — so they can respond quickly when every second counts.
