Familo

What Familo is

Familo is a smartphone app for sharing live location and keeping in touch with family and friend groups. Members can share their location continuously, see where group members are, and receive automatic alerts when someone arrives at or leaves a place the group has defined. Group chat is available even when location sharing is off, and a safety alert can send a user’s current location to their contacts. Groups can include up to 20 members. Users choose when and with whom they share location, including modes that limit transmission. The free Basic plan costs nothing. Premium adds unlimited places, a check-in and check-out timeline extending beyond one day, a panic button, and unlimited live-location lookups; its price is displayed at purchase, and subscriptions renew automatically each billing period unless canceled. Familo is available on Android and iOS, but not computers. Its policy says precise real-time location data is stored for up to two weeks and transfers use TLS/SSL encryption.
