TL;DR

Apple's new safety feature, Check In, automatically sends your location and other important information to selected contacts to let them know you've arrived safely at your destination. The feature also works with your wearable if you have one of the best Apple watches. Check In is one of several big changes coming to the Messages app with iOS 17. The information shared with Check In will be encrypted and set up by the user on a per-contact basis. Currently, iOS 17 is only available as a developer beta, with the first public beta scheduled to roll out later this summer.
