Phone app that switches people’s bodies

There’s an app that allows you to switch bodies with someone else. As soon as you tap the button, your consciousness will be switched to someone else who has also agreed to transfer. Once the process is complete, either person can choose to swap back at any time, ending the switch. People use this app to see what it’s like to inhabit different bodies—age, gender, etc. It’s completely safe, except for the fact that if you die in your host body you’ll stay dead and the other person will forever inhabit your original body, or vice versa. How is this possible, you ask? I’m not sure. Maybe we all have chips in our brains. People tend to treat their host bodies well, because they also want their own bodies treated well. However, some use the bodies to... well... go wild. Especially the elderly in younger bods, if you catch my drift. I switched into the body of an old man of Chinese descent while on vacation in England. He was relatively in the same area of the UK as me, albeit far from where I was vacationing. I guess it was an impulsive choice. In any case, I wanted to go back into my real body and continue the vacation. So I used the app to “recall” my body. This meant that my body would go into “autopilot” and begin traveling to my current location. In essence, the phone app would completely control my body and bring it to the location of my host body, at which time the switch back would occur. So imagine waiting to see yourself, robotic and emotionless and possibly naked, running at full speed towards you. I stood and waited.
