If you're running Android 12 or later, you can also turn on Emergency SOS, which lets you trigger calling emergency services, sharing your location with emergency contacts, and recording video by quickly pressing the power button five times or more.

If you're in an emergency situation, you can use your phone to trigger emergency actions like calling for help, alerting your contacts of your location, and recording video. When Battery Saver is turned on, emergency location sharing may be severely limited.

  • On your phone, press the Power button 5 times or more.
  • A 5 second countdown begins before emergency actions are started. To cancel Emergency SOS, swipe Cancel to the right during the countdown.
  • After the 5 second countdown, emergency actions are started depending on your settings.
  • If you turn emergency sharing and video recording on, these actions can be started while your call is placed to emergency services. Learn more about recording video in an emergency.
