Text911 helps you prepare SMS messages with an emergency category, your own text and your latest available GPS coordinates. PREPARE A MESSAGE Use preset buttons for fire, accident, police or medical situations, or write a custom message. Add trusted contacts and review the message before sending. LOCATION WHILE YOU USE THE APP Location updates run only while the app is active and stop when it is inactive or in the background. If permission is denied or a GPS fix is unavailable, the app remains usable and shows that location is unavailable. Always check the location included in your message. LOCAL CONTROLS Manage emergency contacts, review a local action history and use an optional password lock. Text911 opens the system SMS composer on iPhone; you must confirm sending. Opening a composer or recording an action in History does not confirm message delivery. SMS requires cellular service, and text-to-911 availability varies by area. Call 911 when you can; text when you cannot. Do not send test messages to emergency services. No account or subscription is required. This independently operated app is not associated with a government agency or emergency dispatch service. Terms of Use: https://text911app.com/terms Privacy Policy: https://text911app.com/privacy

About

Help Me SOS Alert

Read full description

Help Me SOS Alert can call for help out loud for you in the simplest way when you suddenly feel unwell or have difficulty speaking or moving. When you feel unwell, have difficulty moving, cannot express yourself clearly, or still have a brief moment of awareness and ability to act in a sudden situation, you can tap the HELP button on the main page. The app will repeatedly play a local help voice message and open the iOS call confirmation screen, helping people nearby notice you and assist you in contacting your emergency contact. The app currently supports interfaces in more than ten languages and can play help voice messages in multiple local languages alternated with English based on the system language, helping people in different language environments understand the request for help. The app does not place calls automatically. The user must manually confirm the call on the iOS system screen. The emergency contact phone number is saved only on the device. It is not uploaded to a server and is not shared with third parties. This app does not replace 120, 110, 119, or iPhone Emergency SOS. In a real emergency, please contact your local emergency services first.
