How do I become an SOS contact for a Spacetalk watch?

How a Space member can enable themselves as an SOS contact so they receive alerts when the SOS button is pressed.

If you are a member of a Space that includes a Spacetalk watch, you can opt in to receive SOS alerts when the watch wearer presses the SOS button. Each member controls their own SOS contact setting — the Space admin cannot turn it on for you.

How to enable yourself as an SOS contact

Step 1: Open the Space settings

Open the Spacetalk App, go to the Space that includes the watch, and tap the Settings icon in the top right corner.

Step 2: Open Member Management

Scroll down the Space Settings menu and tap Member Management.

Step 4: Enable SOS contact

Tap the toggle next to SOS contact — when it turns green, you are now set as an SOS contact for this Space.

When the SOS button is pressed on the watch, you will receive a push notification alert.

Note: You can view another member's Space settings using the same steps, but you cannot edit what they share — each member manages their own settings.
