Recently, MSAI with the collaboration of Telecom service provider has introduced a new app that adds an option for panic button quickly on Android-based smartphones. Last week, the Indian government mandated all mobile manufacturing companies to create mobiles with a panic button option and this app has come following that update. According to the Indian government, by 2017, all mobiles must be having a panic button and in case, the mobiles do not have a panic button, it will not be allowed to be sold in this nation.
This panic button creating an app is named as I Feel Safe. At present, this app is made available for only smartphones, but in coming day, it will be featured on all type of mobile handsets. To activate this app, users would have to press its power button for five times again and again. This app will be working on locked smartphones as well.
Once you successfully activated this app, it will instantly send an emergency message along with location through SMS on selected contacts. Moreover, there will be a call of urgency made by this app to police as well. To give proper directions to SMS recipients, it starts providing map coordinates for every minute with exact latitude and longitude coordinates. In return, it gives route directions to provide the precise road map for that location where emergency help is needed. The app keeps on giving alerts till it is being logged off by its user.
With concern to provide more safety to Indian residents, the government has introduced 112 – emergency number which is going to be operational since January 1, 2017. This figure coordinates for services like a fire department, ambulance, and police.
