This function on your phone can enhance your safety

Our times are quite dangerous, so it's important always to be cautious and choose your acquaintances wisely. Many people are unaware that some phones are equipped with a very practical feature. Its purpose is to enhance user safety, which can be crucial during online dating meetings. Be sure to check the availability of this feature on your device, as it can save you from distress!

Smartphones have become an indispensable part of our lives. Modern cell phones serve to call and assist with many daily tasks. They are especially useful during events like blind dates, where we meet someone completely unknown. In such situations, we should always maintain a distance and be cautious.

How to enable the safety feature on your phone?

It's not about becoming paranoid and thinking everyone can be a threat. However, it's essential always to keep your safety in mind. This is where a certain function available on some phones comes in handy. What is it about, and how can you activate it?

This function automatically sends an emergency SMS message to a previously selected person. It is present in most iPhone models, so it's worth checking if your phone also offers this option. You'll find detailed instructions on how to enable it on the TikTok account @smartspotcompl.

This function is designed to increase your safety level. According to the instructions, in the SMS menu, you need to choose a trusted person, click the plus icon, and then find the "let them know" feature in the phone settings.

Select this function, edit, and set a timer so that the emergency message is sent automatically after a specified time. If you plan to meet an unknown person, you can set the SMS to reach someone close to you after, for example, two hours.

If you don't contact the chosen person within an additional 15 minutes after sending the message, they will receive an SMS with your location. This is very useful because, thanks to this feature, the phone can increase your safety.
