## What is SOS Flash?

SOS Flash turns your iPhone's flashlight into an emergency beacon that signals SOS, the internationally recognized distress signal, in Morse code.

ONE ACTION TO START
Hold the SOS button for 2 seconds. The hold prevents accidental starts in a pocket or bag. Your flashlight immediately begins flashing three short, three long, three short (... --- ...) and repeats until you press STOP.

BUILT FOR EMERGENCIES
• Clear, standard SOS timing that can be recognized from a distance
• Large buttons and high-contrast screens that are easy to use under stress
• The screen stays awake while SOS is active
• Works completely offline: no Wi-Fi, cellular signal, or account needed

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No data collected, no tracking, no ads
• No camera permission: SOS Flash only switches the flashlight
• No sign-up, nothing to configure

USEFUL FOR
Hiking, camping, boating, travel, outdoor work, breakdowns at night, and any situation where you need to be seen.

GOOD TO KNOW
Keep SOS Flash open while signaling. SOS stops if you lock the phone or switch to another app, so the flashlight is never left on by accident.

SOS Flash does not replace contacting emergency services. Whenever you can, call your local emergency number.
