Walk Safe App
We have been notified by Manchester City Council about the launch of WalkSafe+
This is the UK’s leading free personal safety app.
The free app combines journey-sharing features with a detailed safe-space map to help residents in Manchester to safely navigate the city with confidence.
Features include:
HomeSafe: Set a specific destination and an ETA, then share your journey plan with your trusted contacts without sharing your live location. If you don’t successfully complete your journey, your contacts will be notified
WalkSafe: Commuting, exploring, or just heading out? WalkSafe journeys allow you to share your live location with your friends and family. Your location will update in real time, allowing your loved ones to keep track of your journey alerting them if you don’t arrive on time.
Follow Me: From walking the dog to getting some exercise, not every
journey is set in stone. Follow Me allows you to start a journey with no set
destination in mind while letting your friends see where you are.
Community Map: See which Manchester venues offer safe spaces,
offer Wi-Fi or charging stations, and more. Learn what other users
have said about venues, and report your own concerns, such as large
crowds or poor lighting.
