Show your emergency information

Show your emergency information: a short lesson in 4 steps.

4 steps · about 2 minutes · practice it with SafePhone Pro

Step by step

  1. Press and HOLD the side button (the Power button, top right of the phone) until a menu appears.
  2. Tap "Emergency": this works even when the phone is locked.
  3. Tap "Emergency information": this is what a helper or a paramedic can see.
  4. Your medical information and Emily are there. Go back with the arrow at the top, then close with the X.

These steps are written for SafePhone, a pretend Android-style smartphone in your web browser. On your own smartphone, the buttons and menus may look a little different, but the idea is the same.

Practice it where nothing can break

SafePhone works like a real smartphone, but nothing you do goes anywhere. Try every button, make mistakes and start again.
