Google releases Trusted Contacts, a new personal safety app

05 December 2016
Today Google has launched a new app for Android. It's called Trusted Contacts and the company describes it as "a new personal safety app". It relies heavily on geolocation, and because of that fact it may be thought of as a successor of sorts to Google Latitude. Some features from Latitude are in Trusted Contacts, but the new app is much more focused on emergency situations.

          It would be good if it gets baked in, instead of a separate app, with the next update.

            seems kinda pointless unless it's baked in to the OS, as someone could uninstall it or just not install it to begin with, but none the less it's a good idea.
