Send your location to emergency services
Not all carriers and countries support this feature.
If Android Emergency Location Service (ELS) works in your country and on your carrier's network and if you
haven't turned off ELS, when you
call or text an emergency number

emergency responders to help them locate you.
If ELS is off, your carrier might still send the phone’s location during an emergency call. For more information,
check with your carrier.
