The movement of participants is displayed in real time on the map in the "Mobile protection" application. For the function to work correctly, the Internet must be enabled on the device, access to geolocation and the application must be running in the background. If the participant's geolocation stops updating, check the Internet connection.
I have a link to an invitation from a friend/family member — what should I do with it?
The invitation allows you to join a circle of participants to track each other's locations. Once you tap on the link, you can view the list of circle members and decide whether to join.
What is a Place?
In the "Mobile protection" app, you can create your own "places". This is useful for knowing the location of your loved ones and whether they have reached or left their destination on time.

You can also mark certain places as safe and unsafe. You will receive a notification if someone is in a dangerous environment, and you can help them immediately.
What are the types of places?
The user can create a safe and an unsafe place. On the map, a safe place is marked in green, and a dangerous place is marked in red.

Notifications about movements are sent to the "Mobile protection" app and to the notification panel on the mobile device.
How can I create a place?
To create a place, you need to go to the places' menu. There you need to tap a plus and "Create a new place".

The next step is to:
— specify the radius of the place;
— give it a name;
— indicate whether it is a safe or unsafe zone;
— set up notifications: select people whose movements you want to know about in this zone.
How can I edit a place?
To edit a place, you need to go to the menu with places and tap on the name of the one you want to change. There you can change the radius, name, and type of location (safe/unsafe) and set up notifications.
How can I delete a place?
To delete a place, go to the menu with places and tap on the name of the one you want to delete. Then select edit and tap on the 3 dots in the upper right corner. There you will find the option to delete a place.
What kind of notifications can I receive?
The user can receive notifications about:
— a participant joining the circle;
— a participant who has left the circle;
— a participant who has entered the place;
— a participant who left the place;
— creating a place;
— deleting a place.

In the place settings, you can change the notification settings for each member of the circle.

To do this:
— go to the menu with places;
— tap on the desired name of the place;
— tap "Edit";
— customize notifications using the sliders.
How does the "Air alert map" work?
With air alert and warfare maps, you will be notified when different types of threats start or end in your area. You will receive a notification with a sound when the alarm starts and stops on your mobile phone.
What are the types of alarms?
The "Mobile protection" app will notify you of the start or end of air, chemical, and radiation threats, as well as the start or end of street fighting and artillery shelling. Each area where an alert is issued changes its color on the map in the app.

Here are the colors and what they stand for:
Yellow color — radiation threat;
Green color — chemical threat;
Brown color — combat operations;
Red color — air raid alert.
How can I set up alarms?
To start getting alarm notifications, you need to:
— log in to the "Mobile protection" app;
— tap on the "Map types" icon in the lower right corner of the map;
— use the switch to activate the “Air alert map” and "Military operations map" functions.

For the function to work correctly, you must allow the "Mobile protection" app to track the location of the device with the "Always allow" setting. If you do not want to receive alarm notifications, you need to go back to the "Map types" and turn off the switch.
Truthfulness of information
When we report the start or end of alarms, we rely on data from the official source: https://map.ukrainealarm.com/
How does the "Air quality map" work?
With the "Air quality map" function, you can view the Air Quality Index (AQI) anywhere in the world and understand what it means.

As you explore the map, you will see markers with air quality indicators. As you zoom out of the map, the markers are grouped together and show the average index within certain regions. When you zoom in, the markers are ungrouped and show the level of air quality in more detail.

Tapping on a marker opens additional information that shows the AQI level, wind speed, air temperature, air humidity, PM 2.5, PM 10, or OZ.

Air Quality Index (AQI) categories and their impact on human health:
Green (0 – 50) — Good: minimal effect;
Yellow (51 – 100) — Moderate: may cause minor respiratory discomfort to sensitive people;
Orange (101 – 200) — Unhealthy for sensitive groups: may cause breathing discomfort in people with lung diseases such as asthma, as well as people with heart disease, children and the elderly;
Red (201 – 300) — Unhealthy: may cause breathing discomfort with prolonged exposure, as well as discomfort in people with heart disease;
Purple (301 – 400) — Very unhealthy: may cause respiratory problems in people with prolonged exposure. The effect may be more pronounced in people with lung and heart disease;
Burgundy (401 – 500) — Hazardous: can affect even healthy people and cause serious health effects in people with lung or heart disease. Negative effects can occur even during light physical activity.

* AQI — a value used to display the level of air pollution.
** PM 2.5 — a value that indicates the level of particles of substances with a diameter of 2.5 microns and less in the air.
*** PM 10 — a value that indicates the level of particles of substances with a diameter of 2.5 microns to 10 microns in the air.
**** OZ — a value that indicates the level of ozone air pollution.
How to set up the map?
To view the air quality level, you need to:
— enter the "Mobile protection" application;
— tap on the "Map types" icon in the lower right corner of the map;
— activate the "Air quality map" function with the switch.

For the function to work correctly, the "Mobile protection" application must be set to "Always allow" to determine the location of the device. If you want to remove the markers with information about the air quality level, you need to go back to the "Map types" and turn off the switch.
Markers on the map take a long time to load
When you zoom in or out of the map, we group or ungroup the markers to make it easier to view the air quality at a specific location. This process does not happen immediately, but it is enough not to zoom the map for a few seconds, after which the marker with the relevant information will appear and be active for viewing.
Not all air quality indicators are displayed
We receive information about air quality indicators from different measurement stations. Each of them transmits a certain set of indicators that are displayed when you tap on the marker. However, not all stations collect data on PM 2.5, PM 10, or OC, humidity, temperature, etc. That is why one of the markers can display values for all indicators, and the other — only part of them.
Is air quality information available only for Ukraine?
We display information from all over the world. So you can check the air quality data wherever you are. You can also plan your trip based on the app to avoid all polluted areas.
Truthfulness of information
We take information about the level of air quality (AQI) from the sources waqi.info and aqicn.org
What is a Circle?

How can I join the circle?
To join the circle, you need to follow an invitation. The invitation allows you to become a member of the circle and track each other's locations on the map. After you follow the link, you can view the list of circle participants and decide whether to join them.
How can I switch between circles?
The user can be a member of several circles at the same time. To switch from one circle to another, you need to open the menu with the list of circles (in the middle, at the top of the map) and select the necessary circle.

I’ve got a new smartphone, how can I transfer the service?
In order to use the service on a new phone, it is enough to download the "Mobile protection" application on it and enter the number to which the service is connected. Data is synchronized automatically.
Geolocation settings for the tracker
For the correct operation of the Family tracker on Android, it is necessary to grant permission to determine geolocation during the installation of the application.

If you have not given permission at this stage:
— go to device settings;
— find all programs;
— select the "Mobile protection" application;
— tap on "Permissions";
— select "Location";
— tap "Allow in any mode".

For the correct operation of Family Tracker on iOS, it is necessary to allow it to use geolocation when installing the application.

If you have not given permission at this stage:
— go to device settings;
— find all programs;
— select the "Mobile protection" application;
— select "Geolocation";
— turn on "Always allow" and activate "Precise geolocation" with the slider.
Member stopped updating location, what should I do?
Don't worry! There are several reasons why you might not be able to see a group member's location, which are easy to fix:
— the participant deleted the "Mobile protection" application;
— they turned off his phone or the battery ran out;
— the participant has a poor connection to the Internet, or no connection at all;
— participant's phone in flight mode;
— the participant's phone is connected to VPN.

Also, each participant should check the geolocation settings on the Android device:
Phone settings — Applications — Mobile security — Permissions — Location — Allow in any mode.

For phones with OC iOS, you need to go to the section:
Phone settings — Mobile security — Geolocation — Always allow and turn on accurate geolocation.

Another possible reason why you can't see another person's location is the low power mode on iOS. This mode reduces or disables background app updates that prevent “Mobile protection” from working. So it is worth turning off the low power mode so that the location is displayed correctly. Make sure each device has the latest version of the app downloaded and internet access is enabled.
How to view the history of performed actions?
Each user has the opportunity to view the history of performed actions. To do this, they need to enter the Personal account and select the "History" section.
Can I delete my activity history?
No.

If you are unable to uninstall the "Mobile protection" app on your Android device, follow these steps:
— open phone settings;
— go to the "Security" section;
— tap "Device administrator";
— uncheck the box.

After that, you can uninstall the app as usual.
How to improve an inaccurate location?
First, make sure that all location services, including GPS and Internet access, are turned on each phone.

Important: Cellular operators do not always support the Internet during a phone call. In this case, our system will not be able to update your movements while you are talking on the phone.

Settings for the most accurate location determination:
— VPN will interfere with accuracy, so don't use it with "Mobile protection" app;
— "Physical activity" permissions must be enabled and "Allowed";
— "Exact location" must be enabled;
— if your phone runs out of battery or has been turned off, open the "Mobile protection" app again to update your account and location;
— parental control and safety programs may prevent the application from accessing your location when needed;
— applications that have not been opened for three days can go into "Sleep mode" on phones with the Android operating system. The "Mobile protection" app will not update the participant's location in "Sleep mode". Open the app every two days to prevent it from going to "Sleep mode";
— to set your location, you need to set the value to "Always allow location usage". Using the "While in use" option will not allow the application to work correctly and save the location correctly;
— the "Low power" mode must be turned off. It does not allow "Mobile protection" to update data in the background;
— you need to enable the background update of the application.
