About this app

Personal Safety is an app that helps you prepare and react in an emergency by quickly connecting you with the help and information you need.

Features

On phones
• Emergency SOS: Get help in an emergency by pressing the power button quickly 5 times or more. Then, your phone can:
\t ◦ Call emergency services or any number you choose
\t ◦ Share your location and critical info with your emergency contacts
\t ◦ Record, back up, and share a video

• Emergency Sharing: Share your real-time location and critical info with your emergency contacts. Also works with Google Assistant.

• Safety Check: Set a check-in timer for your phone to confirm you’re safe. If you don’t respond when the timer runs out, Emergency Sharing automatically starts. Also works with Google Assistant.

• Car crash detection (Pixel phones only): Get help calling emergency services after a car crash. If your Pixel phone detects that you've been in a crash, it can call for help automatically. Not available for all countries, languages, and devices. For availability details, go to g.co/pixel/carcrashdetection.

• Crisis alerts: Get notified about natural disasters and public emergencies near you.

• Medical info and emergency contacts: You can make this info visible when your phone is locked. In supported countries, you can also choose to automatically share this info if you contact emergency services.

Awful! I brought a pixel phone for my daughter because of the safety app. The phone is managed by family link and has her personal Google account setup. The safety app won't use this account not and insists on a school account, even with this it won't login, so is useless. Please fix this so the app can be used by children managed via family link.

I wanted to update my review and tell you that it would be much better if the "Blinking Flashlight" was available when Emergency SOS was activated by pressing the power button for 5 times or more. I tested the emergency SOS feature on my friend's iPhone and her phone had a blinking flashlight capability when testing it. Thus, I wanted to transfer my feedback to you to make this feature available on Android devices and make this feature better to grab more attention in an emergency.

Hi Aryan. Check that you have the latest Android software. Make sure your software version starts with "QQ3." If it starts with a different version, update your system until you reach the version that starts with "QQ3." Learn how to check your Android version: https://goo.gle/3mEur3n. Hope this helps.

App ALWAYS show user name and profile picture for Google account when pressing emergency button while phone is locked = a thief will ALWAYS know ones ID. This is a security LIABILITY. My (Moto) lock screen show an anonymous gmail that can be used to contact me but NOT to find my adress etc. One must be able to use ALL functions - including sharing ID in emergency call - while maintaining FULL CONTROL of what is shown when phone is locked!
