Truecaller launches a personal safety app based on location Truecaller, the caller ID app, today launched a personal safety app called Guardians. Coming just before International Women’s Day, the app is however not just for women but anyone who anticipates being vulnerable while moving about in the city. Truecaller will introduce the Guardians app through the main Truecaller app, but it will in effect be available separately. Truecaller does not plan to monetise this app or add premium features that a user will need to pay for at a later date. Instead, the app, dubbed a “labour of love,” is designed to help users share their live location with their ‘guardian’ contacts and request help if they need it. Guardians is available as a free download from Google Play Store and Apple App Store. All features of the app are free to use with no ads or premium tiers.
