Ask a trusted person to be available

Before a journey or a check-in, ask whether someone you trust can be available for a while. Safety Sessions are in development as private support requests.

Lookout’s family members and private invitation controls — Your trusted circle is the starting point for a private support request.

Agree on a support window

Choose eligible trusted contacts and a start and end time. They can accept the request to confirm their availability during that window.

Availability can change

Accept or decline: Recipients choose whether they can be available. Sending a request does not commit someone to the session.
Withdraw availability: A recipient can withdraw availability when plans change. Check the session’s current status instead of assuming an earlier acceptance still applies.
End the window early: The person who started a session can end it early and notify the remaining eligible participants.

Availability is separate from tracking

Accepting a session does not grant location, battery or travel-history access. The request does not include a destination, and it does not start SOS or a check-in timer.

Support from someone you know

An accepted session is not a promise of continuous monitoring or professional response. Trip sharing and safety timers are separate tools, with their own choices and limits. Launch availability has not been confirmed.
