Is there a record on my phone of previous crash detection?

Is there a record on my phone of previous crash detection? I’d like proof that my crash either did or did not get detected. Proof that the crash was not severe enough to trigger the detection.

iPhone 12

Hello getsunderland,


There is not a log available of crashes your iPhone has detected. The feature will work as outlined in the Related Article above. This data is also not saved by Apple.


Crash Detection and privacy

Sensor data from your devices are used to detect severe car crashes. All sensor data used to detect severe car crashes is processed on device and discarded after a crash is detected, unless you agree to share your data to improve Crash Detection. For example, the microphone on your iPhone is used to detect loud sound levels, characteristic of crashes. If you agree to share your data to improve Crash Detection, the sound levels are shared with Apple. Raw audio is never collected or stored for the purposes of Crash Detection or to improve Crash Detection.

If your iPhone or Apple Watch detects a severe car crash and contacts emergency services, it will include your device location as latitude and longitude coordinates. The call will share your location regardless of whether you have enabled Location Services.


Regards.
