Going For A Walk

Starting and stopping a walk

Start a walk
Open HOWL and tap Start Walk. If you have more than one emergency contact you’ll be asked to choose which person you want to monitor you.
Send a link to your contact
HOWL will create a unique link for each walk, which you’ll send to your chosen contact via WhatsApp or iMessage. Once you end your walk, the link will expire so you’ll need a new one for your next walk.
Contact clicks the link
Your contact must click on the link they receive in order to “agree” to follow you. They won’t receive any notifications if they don’t follow the link each time. The link will take them into HOWL and they can monitor you via Track Walker. They can choose to monitor via the Walker Status or Walker Map.
Stopping the walk
When you arrive safely at your destination, tap Stop Walk. That will end your session and send a notification to your contact that your walk has ended.
