With this release, we’ve made significant strides toward simplifying daily security operations, enhancing guard productivity, and delivering a smoother, more reliable in-app experience. From scanning BLE Beacon Tags to capturing multiple images effortlessly, every new feature and improvement is designed to make field reporting faster, smarter, and more dependable than ever before.

Here’s everything that’s new in GuardsPro Guard App 8.6.0 — and how it’s already making a difference for guards on duty.

 New Feature: Scan BLE Beacon Tags From The Post Site Tab

Security verification just got smarter.
Guards can now scan BLE Beacon Tags directly from the Post Site tab, offering a faster and more flexible way to check in at designated checkpoints.

Unlike NFC or QR tags, BLE Beacons allow automatic detection when guards are within range, making site verification seamless — even in areas where physical scanning isn’t practical.

This upgrade not only enhances accuracy and accountability but also saves valuable time, ensuring precise patrol tracking without interruptions. GuardsPro continues to redefine how technology supports real-world security operations.

Notification Settings: On/Off Control For Personalized Alerts

The GuardsPro Guard App now gives guards complete control over their notifications.
With the new Notification Settings (On/Off) toggle, guards can easily customize which alerts they want to receive — helping them stay informed without unnecessary distractions during critical tasks.

Whether it’s report updates, shift reminders, or task alerts, you’re now in charge of how the app communicates with you — ensuring a balance between awareness and focus.

Search Site Tours and Tasks Instantly

Finding tours or tasks is now faster than ever. The new search functionality within the Site Tour and Tasks list allows guards to instantly locate what they’re looking for by name — no more scrolling through long lists or losing time during busy shifts.

This improvement ensures quicker navigation, improved task management, and more focus on what truly matters — securing the site.

Simplified Profile Updates — With Automatic Sync

Managing your profile just got simpler and faster.
In version 8.6.0, guards can update their profile image and personal details directly in the app, with automatic sync to the server for instant updates.

This ensures every profile stays current and professional, improving coordination between guards, supervisors, and clients — while keeping the experience effortless for the end user.

 Capture Multiple Images In One Go — For Faster, Better Reporting

Reporting from the field has never been this smooth.
With the new multiple-image capture feature, guards can now take several photos in a row, just like in WhatsApp, without having to reopen the camera each time.

From incident documentation to routine patrol reports, this enhancement helps ensure no important detail is missed, while making the entire reporting process faster, cleaner, and more efficient.

 Improved Report Uploads — No More Failed Media Files

We’ve also upgraded the report upload process to handle media errors and network interruptions more effectively.

If a guard uploads a report with images or videos and the connection drops, the app now automatically retries failed uploads, ensuring that reports are submitted completely and accurately — every single time.

This enhancement reduces frustration, eliminates data loss, and ensures consistent report quality, no matter the network conditions.
