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 five 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.

When properly setup, this app automatically called emergency services and notified both them and my emergency contacts of my location when I was riding solo, cutting response time down to 30 seconds and not requiring any user interaction from me. I will point out that it doesn't seem to listen to Bluetooth headset microphones when the channel is already open for outgoing audio. I suspect this app would need to close the channel and reopen it for input which may be a technical limitation.

worst app that I have gone through. Don't download it. Lots of add and consume all your data. You won't find your results

I want this off my phone but can't uninstall it. I tried disabling it and now none of my apps will auto update because of this thing.
