Original release notes

‣ Parachute is now ready for iOS 16!

----- Recent Updates (parachute.live/new) -----

Introducing Superlock

‣ Superlock locks down Parachute during an emergency, so an unauthorized person who grabs your phone will not be able to stop the recording
‣ Parachute is, once again, the first in the world to offer this advanced and powerful feature
‣ Superlock is for people who use Parachute in situations where there is risk of their phone being taken away from them by an attacker, police officer or other unauthorized person
‣ Superlock keeps your phone locked while continuing to record and live-stream your video, audio and location undisrupted
‣ Get the full details at parachute.live/superlock

Parachute would like to acknowledge Daniel for their assistance with Superlock

Introducing Checkup

‣ Checkup is a powerful new Parachute add-on that checks up on you every 12 hours and alerts your friends and loved ones if you don’t mark yourself safe
‣ Your friends and loved ones receive life-saving information, like your last known location and your emergency notes
‣ With Checkup turned on, every time you launch Parachute it automatically marks you safe and saves a breadcrumb with your location
‣ Location breadcrumbs are a privacy-preserving way to keep a life-saving location trail that helps others retrace your steps, but, unlike apps designed to share your location 24x7, Parachute only shares this location trail if you miss your checkup
‣ Checkup keeps a rolling trail of your location breadcrumbs for the past 10 days, while deleting any older breadcrumbs
‣ Get the full details at parachute.live/checkup

Introducing Multi-Camera Video: A World First for iOS

‣ Capture video from both the front and back cameras simultaneously with the Multi-Camera add-on
‣ The Multi-Camera add-on is open to all Parachute members running iOS 13.0 or newer on iPhone XR, iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro
‣ Get the full details at parachute.live/multi-camera
