Emergencies can happen anywhere, often when you least expect them. WheresNow Family includes SOS Emergency Alerts that instantly notify your trusted Circle members when someone needs help — with their live location attached, so the right people know immediately.
What Are SOS Emergency Alerts?
An SOS Emergency Alert is a one-tap emergency notification sent directly to all members of your Circle. When activated, every Circle member receives the alert immediately, along with your live location.
Why SOS Emergency Alerts Matter
During emergencies, every second counts. SOS Emergency Alerts help family members:
- Know who needs help — the alert identifies exactly who sent it.
- See the person's location — live location is shared with the alert.
- Respond quickly — no need for back-and-forth calls to understand the situation.
- Coordinate assistance — everyone in the Circle is informed at the same time.
How SOS Emergency Alerts Work
Using SOS in WheresNow Family is designed to be simple and fast.
- Trigger the alert — activate SOS with a simple action inside the app.
- Alert sent instantly — all Circle members receive the notification immediately.
- Share live location — your location is included with the alert.
- Coordinate a response — Circle members can quickly organize help together.
Common Situations for SOS Alerts
Families use SOS Emergency Alerts in many unexpected situations:
- Vehicle breakdown — Family members can see your location and arrange assistance.
- Medical emergency — Loved ones are notified immediately with your live location.
- Personal safety concern — Your Circle knows something is wrong before you can make a call.
- Getting lost while traveling — Circle members can see exactly where you are.
- Any unexpected situation requiring help — One tap reaches everyone who matters.
