Personal safety for adults
Personal safety for adults comes down to a few habits: share your plans with someone you trust, keep your phone charged, and have an easy way to alert family. Hifazat, a free family safety tool by Qawex, adds an SOS button and optional location sharing.
Key takeaways

No. Adults choose whether to share their location, and sharing must remain voluntary. Agree who can see it and why, and enable it only with the person’s consent on their own phone. They can pause or stop sharing at any time, or choose other ways to keep a trusted contact informed.
Choose someone you trust and agree how to contact each other if your plans change. Share the route or return time only if it is useful to your plan, and keep your phone charged so you can update them. Review the arrangement when your routine or contact details change.
No. The SOS feature needs internet access, and family may miss an alert or be unable to respond. It is an additional way to notify family, not a guarantee of assistance. Call directly when you need immediate help, and contact your local emergency number when the situation is an emergency.
Location history is kept for 30 days, and linked guardians can delete it earlier. Hourly cleanup removes older records, with up to 1 hour of delay. The map shows the last 24 hours. Share location only with trusted people and review accepted guardian access in the family space.
