Tech giant Google has recently shut down its 'Trusted Contacts' app, it allowed its users to share location with a trusted contact (parents, family, or kids) when in an emergency.
According to the sources, Trusted Contacts will not be supported after December 1, 2020. If the app is installed on a device, the user can continue to use it until the said date.
However, the support will end post-December this year. Google stated that the user can share location with others during emergencies by setting up 'Location Sharing' on Google Maps. Apart from location sharing, one can enjoy a slew of other safety features on Google Maps.
