SAFETY & EMERGENCY
←
Settings > Safety and emergency
Medical Info:
Store your medical information on your device
so that medical personnel can access it from your Lock screen
without requiring your password or an internet connection.
Emergency sharing:
In an emergency, quickly make a call or send
an SMS text with your location to a designated contact. You can
include a front/rear camera picture and/or a five-second audio.
Once this feature is activated, and you designate a contact, tap the
Side key quickly five times to send the SOS message. Default mode
is OFF.
Emergency Location Services (ELS):
This Google tool allows first
responders to identify the location of an emergency call/text from
an Android device faster and more accurately, even if the device’s
Location setting is set to OFF. Your phone must be running
Android 10 or later. Locations are sent directly to the emergency
service contacted and are not viewed by Google.
SECURITY

You should secure your device using a Screen lock to help prevent
someone from accessing your device including your personal data,
apps, and email accounts. Screen lock types offer different levels of
security and include a swipe, a pattern, a numeric PIN, a password,
Face recognition or Fingerprint. You can also set a Smart Lock to
keep your device unlocked when it’s on you, near other trusted
devices, or in a trusted location.
