Apps that aim to help users change their behaviour are subject to rigorous, evidence-based testing. [https://www.40billion.com/profile.asp?aid=769235092 Man Down Australia] However, there are few such tests of apps that promise to increase user safety in public places with strangers. This article discusses learning from a content analysis of apps that claim to increase personal safety and violence prevention in public spaces and highlights the need for such apps to be subject to rigorous testing if they are to be relied on by vulnerable people for their own protection.<br /><br />One such app, bSafe (developed by a sexual assault survivor) is an easy-to-use mobile application that can be customized and offers a wide range of features, from a panic button to GPS tracking. It also allows you to share your location with emergency contacts and send a text message when you leave a defined area, like work or school.<br /><br />Other safety apps use the phone's cameras and microphone to create a video that can be sent to emergency services or a designated contact. Some offer a panic button and inactivity monitoring, which can alert emergency contacts if the user has not moved for a certain period of time, or even if the phone is turned off.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Other apps offer to keep in touch with emergency contacts or family via a virtual number, making it harder for others to access personal information from the device. These are often linked to cloud accounts, so be sure to check the security of these to prevent any information being accessible by other users of the same phone or account.<br /><br />
