Mamedi says the app only requires three permissions. We don’t have any plans to monetise…that is our promise.” “This is a purely designed product to solve a problem in society. Mamedi promises that no data from the app will be shared with any other app, and that includes Truecaller. So that’s why we believe it makes sense,” Mamedi underlined, adding that the Guardians app is a very lightweight product and won’t leave a big footprint on the device either. “You know, we are talking about something that can save lives. And that’s why we decided to do it this way so that it doesn’t become a small part of Truecaller.” On why this was not added as a feature in Truecaller, which already has such a large installed base, Mamedi said: “You have to have a team that runs it as if it’s their own company. There is also the option to seek help from designated community guardians, even as Truecaller tries to onboard local law enforcement to the app. While this will let the guardians know where the user is at any given point of time, in an emergency situation users can tap the emergency button to notify all of them about the location and situation.
