Wasl Feature · Group & Family Tracking

Your whole group, on one map — from the plane to the Haram.

Travelling for Hajj or Umrah usually means travelling with people you're responsible for — elderly parents on their first flight in years, teenagers who wander off toward a shop, a whole family trying to stay together through the densest crowds most of them will ever experience. Wasl puts your entire group on one live map from the moment you land, so you always know roughly where everyone is without a single phone call. And when something needs attention — someone drifting off, a phone about to die, a real emergency — Wasl tells you before you have to ask.

Your whole group, on one map.

From the moment you land, everyone appears in real time around the Haram — colour-coded by who’s close. Wander too far and Wasl flags it before anyone panics. An SOS lights up every phone in the group. And at 4% battery, Wasl auto-shares the last location, hotel and meeting point — so no one is ever truly lost.

Three modes, built for how location actually behaves.

GPS is precise in open sky and unreliable indoors — no app can change physics. Instead of hiding that, Wasl is upfront about which mode you're in, so you always know how much to trust the dot on the map.

Pinpoint

Outside the Haram, full GPS precision. See your group's exact position on a real map — gates, plazas, hotels, transit.

Outdoor accuracy
ii.

Zone

Inside the Haram, fuzzy polygons highlight which area your group is in — Mataf North, Sa'i Middle, Clock Tower lobby. A zone wedge keeps you oriented.

Indoor honesty

Last Seen

Signal lost? Wasl shows the last verified location and time. Set meeting points in advance — and the auto-SOS handles the rest.

Failsafe

Every alert, explained

Why a Hajj & Umrah app beats a hardware tracker.

A dedicated tracker can have a better antenna in open sky — but that edge vanishes in the crowds and indoor corridors where people actually get lost. And where it matters most a tracker is a silent, one-way beacon: it can’t call for help, guide anyone back, or be replaced once it’s lost. Here’s the honest comparison.

  Hardware tracker Wasl (app)
Carried, not forgotten ✗  a tag left in the room or not worn ✓  the phone they never put down
The person can act ✗  a one-way beacon — can’t call for help ✓  tap SOS, get directions, message the group
When GPS is weak (it fails for both) ✗  a frozen dot, then dark ✓  falls back to zones, last-seen & meeting points
If it’s lost, dead or stolen ✗  gone — no way back ✓  borrow any phone, type the code, reunite
Heat & hydration safety ✗  none ✓  Heat Guardian built in
Setup ✗  buy, ship, charge, collect ✓  install in minutes
Cost to scale ✗  per-device + SIM ✓  software, no hardware

A hardware tracker shows a dot — while it’s worn, charged and the sky is clear. Wasl is a two-way safety net on the phone pilgrims already carry, built for exactly the crowds and corridors where that dot disappears.

Prevention pairs with recovery

These alerts are the "before" — catching drift, SOS, and low battery early so a member is never truly lost in the first place. For the moment someone does get separated with a dead phone, see Lost Pilgrim Recovery — Wasl's "after," built so anyone nearby can help, free.

Running an agency responsible for many groups at once? All of this — plus incident logging and movement history — rolls up into a live dashboard on the Agency Command Center page.

Frequently asked

Does continuous group tracking drain the phone's battery quickly?

Wasl is built to balance live accuracy with battery life. If a phone does run low despite that, Wasl automatically shares its last known location, hotel, and meeting point at 4% battery before it dies — so tracking degrades gracefully instead of just going dark.

Does this work inside Masjid al-Haram, where GPS is weak?

Outdoors, Wasl shows your group's exact position with full GPS precision. Inside the Haram, where satellite GPS struggles, Wasl switches to Zone mode — fuzzy polygons showing which area of the mosque your group is in — so you're never just staring at a frozen, wrong dot.

Who can see my location?

Only the members of your own Wasl group — and, if you joined through a licensed agency's group, that agency's assigned staff — can ever see your location. It is never visible to anyone outside that circle.

Is there a limit on how big a group can be?

Wasl groups range from a single family of three to large agency-run groups of hundreds of pilgrims — the same live map and alerts scale to both.

Does group tracking cost anything?

Wasl is free to download and try. Live group tracking for your trip is part of Pilgrim Pass (RM19.90 / 30 days) — Wasl's plan built specifically for a Hajj or Umrah journey. Anyone who helps a separated pilgrim by lending their phone needs no subscription at all.
