## Description

Panic Button helps trusted family, care, and work groups notify one another when someone needs attention. Hold the red alert button for two seconds to send a location-aware alert to the active group.<br><br>The app supports:<br><br>• deliberate two-second hold-to-alert protection against accidental taps;<br>• last-known location sharing, with a pending state when no fix is ready;<br>• high-priority notifications and an alarm screen for group recipients;<br>• one-time manual invite codes and QR invitations;<br>• per-recipient acknowledgement, so one person can silence their own alarm;<br>• optional WhatsApp handoff when the sender has shared an E.164 number;<br>• foreground-only location updates and clear permission readiness warnings.<br><br>Panic Button is for trusted groups, not emergency dispatch. It does not place emergency calls, automatically send WhatsApp messages, embed maps, or guarantee that a notification reaches a device.
