TL;DR<\/p>\n
Pixel phones<\/a> offer a range of features that can prove helpful in the case of an emergency. For example, there\u2019s Car Crash Detection, Safety Check, Crisis alerts, and more. To add on to this list of emergency features, Google may take some inspiration from Apple.<\/p>\n One emergency feature that\u2019s exclusive to Pixel owners is emergency video recording and sharing. This allows the user to record and save a video up to 45 minutes long. If you have Emergency Contacts set up, a link to the video will automatically be sent 15 seconds after you stop recording to the people you picked to be your contacts. Your Emergency Contacts can then use the link to download the video within seven days.<\/p>\n Apple, on the other hand, takes a different approach to emergency video recording. Introduced in iOS 18 last year, Apple has a feature called Emergency SOS<\/a> Live Video. The feature allows a user to stream live video or send photos to an emergency dispatcher if the dispatcher sends a request. This video isn\u2019t saved on your device, but a dispatcher can choose to save it.<\/p>\n Currently, Google\u2019s solution doesn\u2019t let you livestream with a dispatcher. It also won\u2019t automatically send a link to your video to emergency services. But it looks like that could change in the near future.<\/p>\n Don\u2019t want to miss the best from Android Authority?<\/strong><\/p>\n While looking into version 25.35.34 beta of Google Play Services, we came across a few interesting lines of code. Those lines of code describe a feature that sounds a lot like Apple\u2019s Emergency SOS Live Video. You\u2019ll be able to \u201cShare live video\u201d and \u201cEmergency services will use your camera to view this emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n Code<\/p>\n Copy TextShare
\u26a0\ufe0f<\/strong>\u00a0An\u00a0APK teardown<\/strong>\u00a0helps predict features that may arrive on a service in the future based on work-in-progress code. However, it is possible that such predicted features may not make it to a public release.<\/p>\n As mentioned earlier, the existing video recording and sharing feature is something that\u2019s exclusive to Pixel phones. Since these strings were found in Google Play Services<\/a>, it raises the question: Will this feature be available for all Android devices? The answer is unclear at the moment.<\/p>\n
\nEmergency services will use your camera to view this emergency. They may also record it.
\nShare live video?
\nThis will stop sharing live video with emergency services.
\nKeep sharing
\nStop live video?<\/p>\n
