Sanka — Family Safety & Location Sharing
Stay connected with the people who matter most. Sanka makes it simple to share your live location, send instant SOS alerts, and chat privately with family and close friends — all in one beautifully designed
app.
Whether your kids are walking home from school, your partner is on a late commute, or your parents are traveling, Sanka gives everyone peace of mind.
LIVE LOCATION SHARING
See where your loved ones are in real time on a shared map. Choose who to follow, and decide who can see you. No awkward check-ins, no "where are you?" texts.
SOS EMERGENCY ALERTS
Trigger an SOS with one tap — or let Sanka detect it automatically with built-in crash detection. Your emergency contacts get a full-screen alert, your live location streams to them for an hour, and the
alert breaks through silent mode and Do Not Disturb so it actually gets seen.
FAMILY & FRIEND CIRCLES
Organize the people you care about into three simple circles: Family, Friends, and Everyone. Set who sees what, and adjust anytime.
PRIVATE GROUP CHAT
Message individuals or groups, share photos, react with emojis, and send the SANKA keyword in any chat to instantly request someone's live location.
VOICE & VIDEO CALLS
High-quality voice and video calls built right in — no need for a separate app.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
1. SANKA when someone isn't sharing
SANKA a friend who has location sharing turned off. You should see one message — "[Name]'s location is not available" — and no map. (Before, it showed two conflicting messages like "not sharing" + "not available.")
2. Notifications follow your phone's settings
Chat and call notification sound/vibration now follow your iPhone's own notification settings — there are no in-app sound/vibration toggles anymore. Adjust them in iOS Settings → Notifications → Sanka. Please confirm chat and call alerts behave the way your phone is
configured.
3. Simpler Settings screen
Settings is trimmed down (no more Location Privacy, Sanka Auto-Reply, or notification toggles). Your single "Share my location" switch now lives on your Profile. Confirm it still turns sharing on/off.
4. Guardian & Child Monitoring
Set up a guardian on one device, accept on the child device. Confirm: the child cannot hide their location from the guardian (the per-friend toggle is locked), and the guardian can always see the child's location. The guardian can still remove monitoring anytime.
5. Calls
Incoming calls should ring reliably — including right after a previous call. A call should survive leaving the call screen (mini in-app view).
