This application offers a variety of features to help keep you safe in emergency situations. These features are available on both phones and the Pixel Watch. On phones, there is an Emergency SOS feature that can be activated by pressing the power button quickly 5 times or more. This will allow you to call emergency services or a designated contact, share your location and critical information, and even record and share a video. This feature can be especially useful in urgent situations where you may not have time to unlock your phone and make a call.
In addition to Emergency SOS, there is also an Emergency Sharing feature that allows you to share your real-time location and critical information with your emergency contacts. This feature can also be activated through Google Assistant, making it easily accessible in any situation. Another helpful feature is Safety Check, which allows you to set a timer for your phone to check in and confirm that you are safe. If you do not respond to the check-in, Emergency Sharing will automatically activate. This feature also works with Google Assistant.
For Pixel phone users, there is an additional feature called Car Crash Detection. This feature can automatically call for help if your phone detects that you have been in a car crash. However, it is important to note that this feature may not be available in all countries, languages, and devices. You can check the availability of this feature by visiting g.co/pixel/carcrashdetection.
The application also offers Crisis Alerts, which will notify you about natural disasters and public emergencies in your area. This can help you stay informed and take necessary precautions in case of an emergency. Additionally, you can choose to make your medical information and emergency contacts visible on your locked phone. In some countries, you can even set it to automatically share this information when contacting emergency services.
On the Pixel Watch, there is a Fall Detection feature that can detect a hard fall and call for help. This can be especially useful for individuals who may be at risk of falling or have medical conditions that make them prone to falls. The Emergency SOS feature is also available on the Pixel Watch, allowing you to quickly call emergency services or a designated contact by pressing the crown button 5 times or more. All other features, such as Emergency Sharing, Safety Check, medical info, and emergency contacts, are also available on the Pixel Watch.
