Voice-Activated SOS Alert
Trigger an SOS alert using only your voice — even when you cannot physically reach your phone.
Voice activation ensures discreet, hands-free emergency response when it matters most.
Overview
Voice-Activated SOS Alert enables you to:
- Trigger an SOS alert instantly using a predefined keyword or phrase.
- Send your live location and emergency message automatically upon voice detection.
- Respond hands-free during emergencies like accidents, assaults, or health incidents.
This feature is particularly useful in dangerous, immobilized, or low-visibility emergency situations.
How It Works
| Action | Result |
|---|---|
| Speak your preset emergency keyword (e.g., "Help me SOS") | SOS alert is triggered immediately. |
| Voice recognized even when screen is locked | Emergency message and location are sent automatically. |

Common Questions
Does the SOS App listen to everything all the time?
No. The app listens exclusively for your specific trigger phrase.
All other audio input is ignored and never stored or transmitted.
Will voice activation work when my phone is locked?
Yes. Voice activation remains active even with the screen locked, depending on your device settings and model.
Can I change the trigger phrase later?
Yes. You can update or reset your emergency phrase anytime in Settings → Voice Activation.
Does voice activation drain my battery?
Minimal impact. The background service is optimized for low power usage and battery-efficient wakeups.
