Your location, your choice
In Manasik Safe, location sharing is off until the pilgrim allows location access and taps Start Sharing. The pilgrim can stop at any moment. Only the staff of the trip they joined can see them on the map, and family can see them only through a private link.
What happens, and who decides
- 1
Joining a trip doesn't start sharing
The pilgrim joins with a QR code or an invite code. At that point nothing is shared yet.
- 2
The phone asks for permission
The app asks for location access through the phone's own permission screen. Background access, which lets updates continue when the screen is off, is a separate request. The pilgrim can refuse either.
- 3
Sharing starts with one tap
Location is shared only after the pilgrim taps Start Sharing. The home screen always shows whether sharing is on or paused.
- 4
Stopping is one tap too
Stop Sharing ends updates immediately. The map keeps the last location that arrived and when it arrived, nothing newer.
- 5
Closing the trip ends it
When the agency closes the trip, the server stops accepting locations for it and tells the app to stop sharing.
Three groups, three different views
The trip's staff
Location, battery level and SOS alerts, only for the pilgrims on their own trip.
Family with a link
Location, battery level and the time of the last update, nothing else, and only through the link they were sent.
Nobody else
Other agencies and the public cannot see a pilgrim.
About family links
- A pilgrim who shares a live link from the app can reset it at any time. Resetting makes the old link stop working at once.
- Links that an agency creates for a pilgrim expire on their own, after 24 hours by default, and expired links are deleted every night.
- When someone opens an agency-created link, we keep an access log with the time, the IP address and the device type.
About SOS
An SOS is sent only when the pilgrim presses the button and picks a reason. It reaches the trip's staff with the pilgrim's location and battery level when available.
