Abstract

Online harassment is a serious problem that can have significant negative impacts on the mental health and well-being of its victims. To address this issue, an Android app has been developed that is accessible to a wide range of users worldwide. The app is built on a script backend process, providing a stable and efficient environment for data management and request processing. The app's API is integrated into the script backend process, ensuring seamless and efficient operation.During the installation process, the app requires users to go through a verification process that includes providing their Google Account, mobile number, and an OTP. This ensures that only legitimate users have access to the app's features and functions. The app also requires users to create a strong master password, which is directly connected to the Google bot, enhancing its security. Biometrics are recommended to protect the master password, ensuring that only authorized users can access their data.The app's security measures are crucial in ensuring the privacy and protection of user data. The use of biometrics and direct connection to the Google bot enhances security, and the app's API provides access to relevant information and enhances the user experience. Users can change their password securely, ensuring that only authorized users can access their data.Overall, the app is a reliable and efficient solution for managing and protecting user data. Its compatibility with a wide range of devices and seamless integration of API make it accessible to a large percentage of Android users worldwide. The app's verification process, use of biometrics, and direct connection to the Google bot enhance its security, ensuring that only authorized users have access to the app's functionalities. The development of this app is a critical step in addressing the issue of online harassment and protecting the privacy and well-being of its users.
