FAQ
Questions, answered simply.
How can I share my live location with someone who doesn't have the app?
Start a share in BySide and send the private link by text, WhatsApp or any messenger. Your friend opens it in any browser and sees your live location and route, with no app and no account.
Is there an app that sounds a siren and flashes a strobe light?
Yes. Hold the alarm button in BySide and your iPhone plays a loud siren and flashes its light as a strobe, and your emergency contacts get a message with your exact location.
What is a good safety app for walking home or running alone at night?
BySide is built for exactly that. Share a live map link with someone you trust before you leave, set a safety timer that raises the alarm if you don't check in, and keep a hold-to-trigger siren one tap away.
Does BySide replace calling 112?
No. BySide alerts the people you choose, it does not dispatch help and its alerts are not monitored by a response centre. In an emergency, always call 112 or your local emergency number first.
Which countries and phones does BySide work on?
BySide is an iPhone app (iOS 18 or later) in the App Store in Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, the UK, Ireland and the Netherlands. The live map link opens on any phone or computer.
Do my contacts need to download BySide?
No. They receive a private link and can follow your journey in any modern browser.
Does live sharing work without internet?
Live location sharing needs an internet connection. Safety actions that happen on-device may still work depending on the situation.
How long is my location visible?
Journey data is designed to be temporary and is automatically deleted after 24 hours.
Is BySide free?
BySide includes 10 hours of live location sharing every month for free. Premium (€2.99/month) unlocks 100 hours and 24-hour sessions for heavier use.
Can I stop sharing?
Yes. You stay in control and can stop a journey when you are safe.
