SOS Guardian - Panic Button

SOS Guardian is a personal panic button (SOS) that protects you in emergencies when you can't speak or ask for help. The moment you trigger the alert — by pressing the power button 5 times, shaking the phone, tapping the SOS widget on your home screen, or the Quick Settings tile — the app instantly: • 📞 Calls your contacts one after another in the order you set, and keeps retrying until someone answers. You choose how many rounds in Settings. • 📩 Opens a ready-made SMS to every emergency contact, carrying your message and a map link to your location — one tap on Send and it goes. (Google Play does not allow any app to send SMS on its own, which is why that tap is needed.) • 🎙️ Silently records audio of your surroundings as evidence. • 📷 Silently captures photos from the front and back cameras. • 🔇 Stealth mode: the screen stays black and silent so nobody knows you called for help. (No SMS is sent in this mode — opening the messaging app would give you away.) More features: • 🔴 An SOS widget on your home screen: one tap fires the alert without opening the app at all — and you add it with a single button inside the app. This is the fastest and most dependable way to trigger it. • Up to 5 emergency contacts in priority order (police, dad, mom, siblings…). • 🖤 Invisible calling: a black screen during the alert so an attacker can't see the call if they grab the phone. • ⏱️ Safety check-in timer: if you don't confirm you're safe in time, an SOS is sent automatically. • 📲 Auto-answer: if a contact calls you back, the phone answers on speaker so they hear your surroundings. • A voice message in your own voice, played on the loudspeaker during calls. • A PIN so only you can stop an active alert. • A short safety countdown to cancel a false alarm. • A loud siren when you need it. • Runs reliably in the background, with guidance to enable auto-start. • 19 languages (Arabic, English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Turkish, Russian, Chinese, Hindi, Urdu, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Bengali, Persian, Malay, Pashto, Swahili), selectable inside the app. ⚙️ Important for reliability: Inside the app, grant "Display over other apps" and the battery exemption. Without them an alert raised while the screen is off may not complete — Android blocks apps from starting a call or a message while they are in the background. Great for: Women, elderly people, children, lone workers — anyone who could face theft, kidnapping, or a sudden medical emergency. ⚠️ Note: SOS Guardian is a helper tool and is not a replacement for directly calling official emergency services whenever you are able to.
