We’ve listened to your feedback and made improvements to the design, navigation and accessibility of the Emergency app. We’ve updated the app with Apple’s new Liquid Glass design. You’ll now see fewer main tabs to help you focus on key features, with Info moved to the toolbar in the upper-right corner. We’ve also made the app easier to use with an external keyboard.
