Family Safety App iSharing Sees 83% Subscriber Surge

Location sharing platform iSharing is rapidly emerging as a core tool for family safety, and as of March 2025, family unit users account for a remarkable 82.9% of all subscribers, showing astonishing growth. This is a 20.2%p surge compared to 62.7% in September 2024, clearly demonstrating its evolution into an 'intergenerational care' platform beyond simple location sharing. What is particularly noteworthy is that, with the new school year, not only parents concerned about their children's safe commute to and from school, but also adult children looking after the well-being of their elderly parents or grandparents living alone, have seen a dramatic increase in subscriptions. iSharingSoft analyzed that this phenomenon reflects modern society's demand to strengthen connections among multi-generational family members and build a practical safety net. iSharing provides advanced features in response to this demand. The real-time location tracking feature allows parents to check their children's arrival at school and their travel routes, and enables adult children to remotely observe their parents' activity patterns. Notably, the 'inactivity detection system,' which alerts users if device usage is not detected for a certain period, plays an innovative role in elderly safety management. With the addition of low battery notifications and an 'SOS function' that records and sends 10 seconds of surrounding audio in emergencies, iSharing has established itself as a comprehensive family safety management system beyond simple location checking. CEO Joo Yong-jae emphasized, "iSharing is now evolving into an integrated platform that practically supports safety and care among family members," adding, "We will continue to strengthen intergenerational connectivity through advanced features and enhanced benefits tailored to user needs." iSharing is expected to solidify its position as an essential platform that connects intergenerational love and care, moving beyond family-centric location sharing services.
