The first pillar of the Aunty 4 is her role as the community’s primary news source. Before the age of WhatsApp groups, there was the "Broadcast Aunty."

Instead of just checking crime stats (which are often unavailable or unreliable in target markets like India or the diaspora), this feature uses the "Aunty Network" to crowdsource hyper-local, qualitative data about specific buildings and streets. It gamifies the neighborhood watch concept and turns it into a utility.
