Green Torch will be able to track a user's device event if it is not connected to Wi-Fi or a mobile network. Users of smartphones and other devices carrying the app will be able to choose a "lost mode" option or play a sound using the same application.

The new app will also allow users to share their location with family members and any friend. Notifications of when a friend arrives or leaves a specific location will be sent to users once they have access, granted by this friend.  

Developers are reportedly aiming to enable users to track any device, not only Apple gadgets, using the new app. A new hardware product called "B389" could provide the tech platform for the feature.
