The Spacetalk App has a built-in SOS feature that lets you send an emergency alert to your Space members. When triggered, an SOS alert is sent to all members who have the SOS contact toggle enabled. The alert includes your location and prompts them to contact you.
Note: Managed Members — such as children or elderly family members with a Spacetalk watch — are not sent SOS alerts when you trigger one from the app.
How to send an SOS alert
Step 1: Open the SOS button
Open the Spacetalk App — you will land on your Spaces screen. Tap the SOS button in the top left corner of your Space.
Step 2: Confirm the alert
A 10-second countdown begins. If it was pressed by accident, tap Stop, I am Safe! at the bottom of the screen to cancel.
Once the countdown ends, an alert is sent to all Space members with SOS contact enabled. The alert includes your current location.
How to manage your SOS contact settings
Each Space member can choose whether to receive SOS alerts in each of their Spaces. To change your setting:
Open the Spacetalk App and go to the relevant Space.
Tap the Settings cog in the top right corner.
Select Space data settings.
Toggle Receive SOS alerts on or off.
