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. WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE SANKA Free to use, with optional premium features Privacy-first: you control who sees you, always Works globally — available in 177 countries Designed for peace of mind, not surveillance Download Sanka today and give your family the gift of staying close, no matter the distance.

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).
