Emergency SOS: How your phone can be a lifesaver

There are many dangers around us. We should always be vigilant and take precautions to ensure our safety. However, did you know that your phone can help you with this? It has a very useful feature that is worth activating.

In today's times, when dangers lurk around almost every corner, it is essential to exercise caution and make thoughtful decisions. Not everyone realizes this, but some mobile phones can assist us.

They have a special function that can be extremely useful, especially during meetings with people we have just met. Check if your phone also has this feature — it could save you in a dangerous situation.

It automatically sends an emergency SMS message to a previously designated person. This option is available on most iPhones. Be sure to check if your phone also has this helpful feature.

Remember that this phone function aims to increase your safety. According to the instructions, you just need to go to SMS messages and select a trusted person, then click the plus sign next to them. After that, find the function in the phone that should be called — notify.

Select the notify function, then edit and set a timer for the time after which the emergency message should automatically be sent to someone. For example, if you are going to meet someone you don't know, you can set the notification to be sent to a close person's phone after two hours.

If, after sending this message and an additional 15 minutes have passed, you do not inform a close person that everything is okay, that person will automatically receive an SMS with your location. Useful, right? This way, your phone will help you increase your safety.

You can also share your location with a close person so that they can check where you are at any moment.
