iPhone
All-new design. One tap sends your exact location, with Apple Maps and Google Maps links, to your emergency contact by text message.
Panic Button lets you ask for help in seconds. With a single tap, the app prepares a text message to your emergency contact with your exact location and links that open directly in Apple Maps or Google Maps.
KEY FEATURES
• One-tap panic button: sends your emergency message with your current location.
• Precise location: the app waits for the best GPS fix before sending and shows the current accuracy on screen.
• Apple Maps and Google Maps links: your contact can open your position on their phone with one tap.
• Preset messages: create, edit and reorder your own messages, such as "Can you come pick me up?". Each one is sent with your location.
• Live map: see where you are in real time.
• Simple setup: enter your emergency number and you're ready.
• Available in English, Portuguese, Spanish, French, German and Italian.
IDEAL FOR
• Older people who live alone
• People with health conditions
• Children and teenagers who go out on their own
• Runners, cyclists and hikers
• Anyone who wants peace of mind
PRIVACY
Your location is only used to build the message you send. No account, no tracking and no data collected: everything stays on your iPhone.
IMPORTANT
To send a message, iOS opens the message screen already filled in, so you only need to tap Send. Standard SMS rates may apply. Panic Button does not replace emergency services. In a life-threatening situation, call 911 or your local emergency number.
