Common Questions
Can I snooze or delay reminders?

Future updates may offer snooze and rescheduling options.
Will reminders work if the SOS App is minimized?
Yes.
The SOS App uses system notifications — reminders will appear even if the app isn't actively open.
Can I disable reminders if I don't need them anymore?
Yes.
Simply return to Settings → Reminders and toggle off the Daily Notification switch.
Does setting a reminder use extra battery?
No.
Reminders use standard low-power notifications and have negligible impact on device battery life.
