I would like to know what the SMS messaging looks like (screenprints) when Emergency SOS sends messages to your emergency contacts with your location information? I want to train some family members and friends and inform my own contacts on what to expect. I don't want them to think this is a phishing message or spam. Also, what does the follow-up messages look like, and when does it stop sending?
iPhone 6s, iOS 11.0.3
I found this link by doing a search on the interwebs -YSK Apple phones send an SOS text to your emergency contacts if you mash the home button. - Album on Imgur
You could have done this same search by yourself.
Use Emergency SOS on your iPhone - Apple Support
This page says your emergency contacts will be updated on your location.
Thank you so much. You are a better Googler than me 😎
In this day and age of spam and fraud it is hard to outsmart the bad actors and it is best to display good training to your family and friends. If fraudster is the first to spoof this message then they could trick or injure your family and friends that appear at that location. Just trying to follow good preparation. Could it hurt for Apple to share this with us without making a fake call to 911 just to see how it works?
Been there, seen that. It does not provide the info I want to see. Screenshots of what text messages look like on receiver end so they know what to expect and not think it is a phish/fraud
So, even if you tell the emergency contacts that they will get your location info if you are hurt, they won' believe you or the text without photographic proof?
What does the text message look like when sent to your emergency contacts?
