Partner-SOS

PartnerSOS gives users the ability to share their location with their partners instantly when they feel unsafe. Unlike apps like Messenger or Snapchat, PartnerSOS only requires one tap, ensuring a quick and effective notification. Upon activation, the partner receives an text message with a link to view the user location via a web app. The location is updated in real time and can be opened directly in Google Maps for precise navigation. This streamlined approach ensures that users can seek help quickly and easily, especially in stressful situations. The idea for PartnerSOS came from a personal experience with a friend. This friend was walking home from work when they noticed a customer following them. Although they did not feel threatened enough to call the police, they wanted their partner to be aware of the situation immediately. This incident highlighted the need for a simple but effective way to share their location, even if the recipient has turned off their mobile data.
