    This is a great feature ngl. It may not be any use for majority users here but it’s a must have in my country for women. We already have government apps that track location if opted in but they only work as long as the phone isn’t switched off. Idk if it also requires a different hardware but if it was software only then it would be easy to install in existing phones.
