Built with personal safety features, Google Pixel devices can help you out of a serious jam. If you’re in a car accident, your Pixel phone and watch can quickly call emergency services and share accurate location info so they know where to send help. Pixel can check in with you when you’re going on a run at night. And if you’re off the grid, you can even use your Pixel phone to get emergency help via satellite.⁵ Features like these also get better over time, thanks to Pixel’s built-in AI and regular Pixel Drops, like one that focused on even better safety features.

Here are a few situations that hopefully won’t arise – but if they do, count on your Pixel phone and Pixel Watch to come to your aid.

Going somewhere new? Whether you’re checking out a restaurant in an unfamiliar city, going on a first date, or embarking on a solo trip, safety is likely top of mind. 

Carry on with confidence, knowing you can easily use Emergency SOS in the Personal Safety app to call for help – by quickly pressing the power button on your phone five times or more, or the same number of times on the watch crown.³ You’ll then be able to share your location and important information with your emergency contacts, or record a video message to send to them.

Planning to hike and camp in the wilderness where you likely won’t have cellular coverage or Wi-Fi? If you need help, you can use your Pixel 9 phone to contact emergency services via satellite – at no extra charge – thanks to Satellite SOS.⁵ You’ll also be able to share your location with family and friends, so you can all have peace of mind.  

Plus Safety Check on your Pixel phone and Pixel Watch can step in like a reliable buddy system.^3,6 Set a check-in timer on either device, and if you don’t confirm you’re safe when the timer ends, Safety Check will start Emergency Sharing, sending your live location to your emergency contacts. You can also ask your phone or watch to call 911 at any time during a Safety Check, or manually trigger Emergency Sharing.  

If natural disasters are imminent and nearby, your Pixel phone will let you know. Crisis Alerts will notify you of floods, fires, tornados, and more, with information from local governments to get you critical information faster.³

When the ground shakes, the Android Earthquake Alert System can send an early warning to your phone, and help you take expedient steps to safety. 

Picture this: You take a tumble and can’t move for a minute. Your Pixel Watch is always looking out for you and can detect if you’ve had a hard fall, then check to see if you’re okay.⁴ If you don’t respond, it will call emergency services on your behalf to get you help quickly. And because Fall Detection only reacts to hard falls, you don’t have to worry about triggering false alarms when you simply trip over that doorstep.⁴

With Car Crash Detection, your Pixel phone and watch can also detect if you’ve had an accident and call emergency services.² Either device will notify emergency contacts to let them know what’s happened and share your real-time location using Google’s Emergency Location Service.  

No matter where or when, help is never far away, thanks to your Pixel.
