- Android users concerned about coerced phone access
- Worth noticing
- The page says each approval is single-use, expires after five minutes, and grants access for at most 15 minutes.
Field notes
The described setup combines manual street-mode activation with safe zones that can trigger protection when the user leaves them; entering a zone does not switch it off. The privacy section says the list of installed apps and selected apps stays on the phone, while safe-zone locations are encrypted and location history is not saved. The page also names degraded-protection and no-protection states when permissions or other conditions interfere.
