When I went to the office, this used to be on the wall. Ideal for someone working on risk and safety :)

To be pedantic, Android doesn't do crash detection... Google's Pixels do (from the 3 onwards, in some countries).

Then all is well. But unless Mr LB knew what model of phone you have then his statement was not necessarily correct :)

I did wonder :)

However.... (got a new angle), if your phone is 'new', then it can't have had that feature 'for years', so he can't have been referring to your phone.

Ha.

I did know, and mine is a couple of models up from his :king: but yes OK, granted it's Pixel phones only at present since 2019ish, and the app has been in the play store for the last 2 years.

So, Android running on Pixels has been doing it for years.

Is the earthquake app more use than the tornado warning?
