Safety App UK is the personal safety app made by the team behind these guides. It lets the people you trust see where you are and get an alert with your live location if you need help. It works alongside 999, not instead of it.

SOS to your circle

Send an alert with your live location to the people you choose.

Live safety map

See areas with more reported crime, based on official police data and community reports.

Safer routes

Plan a route home that avoids areas you’d rather not walk through.

Free for 7 days, then £2.99 a month. Cancel any time. Full features, pricing and download links are on the official app website.

Do I need an app to stay safe?

No. Your phone already has free tools: Emergency SOS, live location sharing and the silent 999 call. Set those up first. A safety app adds things like one-tap alerts to a group, a safety map and safer routes.
