Road accidents can happen in seconds.
In serious situations, a person may not be able to unlock their phone, make a call, or send a message.
Crash detection technology helps provide another layer of protection by recognizing possible accidents and helping notify trusted contacts.
WheresNow Family includes crash detection as part of its family safety system.
What Crash Detection Is
Crash detection uses smartphone sensors and movement patterns to identify possible vehicle collisions.
The technology looks for unusual changes such as:
- Sudden impact
- Rapid movement changes
- Unexpected stopping patterns
Why Crash Detection Is Important
After an accident, immediate communication may not always be possible.
A driver may be:
- Injured
- Unconscious
- Unable to reach their phone
- In an unsafe location
Crash detection helps reduce the time between an accident and family awareness.
How WheresNow Crash Detection Works
When a possible crash is detected, the system can support emergency communication.
The feature is designed to:
- Detect unusual impact events
- Alert trusted Circle members
- Provide important location information
- Help families respond faster
Crash Detection and SOS Alerts
Crash detection works together with manual SOS alerts.
SOS alerts are useful when a person can interact with their device.
Crash detection provides additional protection when someone cannot respond.
Together they create multiple safety options.
Who Can Benefit From Crash Detection?
Crash detection can be valuable for:
Drivers
Especially people who travel alone.
Teen Drivers
Families can receive important safety notifications.
Elderly Family Members
Extra support during independent travel.
Daily Commuters
Accidents can happen even on familiar routes.
Privacy-Focused Emergency Protection

It is about helping families stay prepared.
Crash detection adds another layer of protection alongside:
- Location sharing
- SOS alerts
- Circle chat
- Location history
