Dialdirect Namola emergency app gets Family Safety Feature

The Dialdirect Namola emergency app has just released an update designed to give its users the peace-of-mind of knowing where their loved ones are at all times. The feature, called Family Safety, allows usets to share their location with lived ones continually. However, this does require a data connection.

While the feature is similar to the Life360 app, which allows family members to locate each other at any time, it is built into Namola, which also provides access to emergency services.

As with Life360, the Family Safety feature also gives Namola users the option to receive real-time notifications when family or friends leave or arrive at a location. No need to remember to call them to see that they have arrived safely.

Namola also announced that 250 000 South Africans have signed up for its emergency app since its launch in September 2017.
