## What is Help Screen SOS?

Help Screen SOS is a support app for asking people nearby for help by showing your phone screen when you cannot speak.

The English experience focuses on Silent SOS, personal safety, and travel help. It can show simple high-contrast messages such as “HELP,” “I feel unsafe,” or “I am traveling and need help.” It can also show that you cannot speak, have difficulty speaking, or do not speak the local language.

The app focuses on showing clear SOS text. Alarm sound, vibration, and screen flash are optional support features that start only when the user presses the in-app button.

Main features:
- Full-screen Silent SOS message display
- Situation selection for the SOS message
- Personal safety and travel help messages
- Manual display language selection
- SOS messages in Japanese, English, Korean, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese
- Optional intro text for when you cannot speak, have difficulty speaking, or do not speak the local language
- Optional English message shown together
- Alarm sound on/off
- Vibration on/off
- Screen flash effect on/off
- Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets
- Control Center, Shortcuts, and Action Button friendly actions
- Organized SOS display settings and ZEC Apps settings
- Works fully on device

This app does not replace contacting police, emergency services, station staff, security, or people nearby directly. In an emergency, ask for direct help from public authorities or nearby people.

The app does not record audio, take photos or videos, send location data, or automatically contact emergency services. Display language is selected manually by the user, and the app does not use location-based language detection. Widgets, controls, and Shortcuts do not start the alarm immediately; the alarm starts only after the user presses the in-app start button.
