Iphone SIRI WanderSafe Shortcut Tutorial - SOS ALERT Feature
Or..how to activate the SOS Silent Alert feature and notify your friends and family of where you are from a locked iPhone. For more information about WanderSafe go to http://www.WanderSafe.com
In this video we explain something we have called the BeetleJuice feature in our product development meetings. If you are an OG you'll appreciate the reference of saying something abstract word and something surreal and amazing happens. (Well, we do too!).
The MAIN benefit to you to set this up in your Iphone is that in the event that you are presented with a scary situation and you just want to get help quickly all you have to do is say "Hey Siri, XXX (your unique phrase) and she will start notifying your three preset contacts in the WanderSafe app of your location. We built out this little shortcut.
The second thing you can do with this update is turn OFF the SOS Feature. You will need to designate a different word or phrase to turn off the SOS alerts. The SOS Alert feature sends a notification with your location in the form of a map to three pre-established contacts via SMS through the app. In order for this to work, you have to have signal and the phone must be on.
Other important thing to note here is that the APP is NOT sharing your location with anyone that you did not designate. It does not call 911 or local police. You can add that number to your contacts if your location/local police have that feature.
To set up the SIRI Shortcut follow these instructions:
1. Ensure you have the WanderSafe app installed on your phone. To download it from iTunes click here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wanders...
2. Set up three emergency contacts.
3. Click on the Settings button on the left-hand side of the WanderSafe home screen.
