SAFETY & EMERGENCY
Settings > Safety and emergency
In addition to the Samsung Health app included in the Samsung
apps folder, your device can also be a useful tool in emergency
situations. There are several important tools to assist you in case
of an emergency and to help you communicate better with first
responders.

Medical Info

You can store your health, prescription, and other medical
information in one location on your device. In the event of
an emergency, medical personnel including first responders,
doctors, and police, can access this valuable information directly
from you lock screen without requiring your password or an
internet connection.

Send SOS message to a contact

In an emergency, quickly make a call or send an SMS text with
your location to a designated contact. You can include a picture
from the front or rear camera and/or include a five-second
audio recording. Once this feature is activated, and you have
a designated contact, tap the Power key quickly three times to
send the SOS message. Default mode is OFF.

Emergency Location Services (ELS)

This Google tool allows first responders to locate someone
making an emergency call or text from an Android device faster
and more accurately by using a combination of GPS, cell, Wi-Fi,
and sensor data. If your phone supports Android 10 or later, ELS
will use the Emergency Location Bypass which allows the device
location to be retrieved in the event of an emergency call or text,
even if the device's Location setting has been set to OFF.
Indoor and outdoor locations are sent directly from the device to
the emergency service contacted and are not viewed by Google.
