Add Tracking Token
Use a Tracking Token to securely connect with family members and start real-time location tracking.
By adding a shared token inside the SOS App, you ensure direct, encrypted tracking without exposing location data publicly.
Overview
Adding a tracking token allows you to:
- Start live tracking of trusted family members who have shared their token with you.
- Maintain continuous real-time location updates.
- Strengthen your family's safety network securely and privately.
Tokens serve as private keys that authorize trusted location sharing between devices.
