- nanidin 4y agoIs the feature mandatory in any area? It’s basically fall detection rebranded as crash detection.
- lynx23 4y agoI honestly dont know, I am not an Apple support person. As we have learnt, its only a few steps from "this is useful" to "we have just mandated this because it is so useful and people are too stupid to realize how cool this is!" Trust me, in a few years, automated emergency calls will be mandatory, downvoting the messenger doesn't help either folks.
- amanaplanacanal 4y agoFrom the comments, it sounds like it’s becoming a common feature in android phones also.
- cmeacham98 4y agoThere is not a single Android phone I'm aware of that has a feature like iPhone's "detected crash to automated 911", could you provide an example?
- amanaplanacanal 4y agoSomeone mentioned their pixel 4a called 911 when it fell and hit the floor.
- nickthegreek 4y agoFall Detection is an optional feature. There is nothing mandatory about it.
- yunwal 4y agoIt still seems it was the wrong choice to enable it by default. I had this happen despite not knowing the feature exists.
