The app has a button enabled on an Android phone whereby you just need to press it and once you leave the button, the security feature will be activated and a call will be made to 911.
  2. SOS Alert: Like the name suggests, this app is particularly useful in SOS cases. The app traces your location and sends it to your emergency contacts. The app has a user-friendly interface and is easy to use especially in times of need.
  3. ICall: iCall is another useful app which is used to record calls on your phone. This call recorder app comes with a free trial version. It is one of the best for recording calls, as in cases where you want evidence when facing threats of any kind or when you simply want to take notes from your phone conversation, this app is going to come handy in all these cases. The call recorder app iPhone has been used by many Apple users all over the world. With an unlimited amount of storage you can now save almost all of your calls through the phone recorder Iphone, so that there is no chance of any call data being missing.

  4. Sheroes: This is an app designed with the purpose to help females in finding employment opportunities, health tips, beauty advice, shopping partners etc. It’s basically like a social circle of friends ready to help each other at all times.

What are safe apps to use?

There are many apps which are particularly useful in saving ourselves and must be installed by all females in their phones to ensure maximum security in times of such distress and chaos.

  1. Sisters App: This application helps you in staying in touch with your female friends by sharing your location with them at all times and even send them a SOS call in case of any emergency. The friends can contact and even trace your location to save you from any bad experience.
  2. My Safetipin: It is a useful app that helps you save not just yourselves but others from going to dangerous locations. In this app, you have a feature to mark locations where you have felt threatened or have faced trouble of any kind. You can also evaluate and rate different areas of the city and assign them ratings which will make it easier for fellow citizens to understand which  places should be avoided for their own security.
  3. Sekura: It is a four featured app which is particularly useful against street harassment. The four features are to take any call, ring a siren when needed, and call or text your emergency contact.
  4. Wandersafe safety app: This app is particularly useful if you are travelling in an area unknown to you as it helps in identifying and alerting if you enter any unsafe location.

We cannot simply live without adopting these technological advancements which are designed to make our life easier and safe.

Similarly, other apps like sekura and mysafetipin have been designed to keep us safe and ask for immediate help in case of any emergency.
