We are thrilled to announce that Paralino is now available on iOS devices! After months of development and testing, our privacy-first location sharing app is ready for you to download from the App Store.

Key Features on iOS

• End-to-End Encrypted Location Sharing: Share your location securely with family, friends, or teams. Your data is encrypted from start to finish, ensuring no one but you and your chosen group can access it.

• Private Groups: Create multiple groups and control what you share with each one. Each group has its own settings, giving you complete control over your sharing preferences.

• Geofenced Place Alerts: Receive notifications when someone enters or leaves specific locations—like when your child leaves school or a family member gets home. All processing happens locally on your device 💪.

• Battery Level Monitoring: Get notified when a group member’s device is running low on battery, helping you stay connected when it matters the most.

• Complete Control Over Sharing: Choose exactly what you want to share—location only, or additional details like speed, elevation, or battery level. Share for a few minutes or longer periods, and pause or stop sharing anytime.

• Device Status: See comprehensive information about group members’ devices, including battery level, speed, elevation, and signal strength.

• Battery Efficiency: Paralino is optimized to strike the perfect balance between location accuracy and battery life.

• Cross-Platform Compatibility: Seamlessly connect with Android users in your groups.

Getting Started

Download Paralino from the App Store today and log in with your existing Paralino account. New users can create an account directly through the app.

Current Limitations

• Manual Location Requests for iOS devices: This feature is not yet working for iOS devices. A special permission is required from Apple, and we are still waiting for approval. As soon as the approval comes through, we’ll release an updated version with this functionality.

What’s Next

This iOS release is just the beginning. We’re already working on additional features and improvements based on your feedback. In the coming months, you can expect:

• Manual Location Requests for iOS devices: Once approved by Apple, you’ll be able to manually refresh a iOS device’s location by sending a high-priority location request.
• Location History: A private, secure alternative to Google Timeline.
• Personal device tracking: Track your own devices and share locations seamlessly with only one account.

We Value Your Feedback

As you start using Paralino on your iOS devices, we’d love to hear about your experience. Please share your thoughts, suggestions, or report any issues.

Thank you for your continued support as we expand the Paralino ecosystem!
