The FBI has released its first ever mobile application. It’s designed to help locate missing children. The FBI Child ID app lets parents store photos and vital information about their kids, so it’s immediately available to pass on to authorities in the event a child goes missing. The app also lets parents email photos and data directly to law enforcement if necessary, and it includes tips on what to do in the first hours after a child disappears. The iPhone version is out now, the FBI says other devices will be supported soon.
