Once the connection is established, the user is asked several questions to find out precisely what their needs are. What is the type of emergency? Who need help? Is anyone hurt? The application sends this information to an Apple employee, who will be in charge of notifying the corresponding authorities about what is happening and the exact geolocation of the user.
The system will be paid. The purchase of any iPhone 14 model includes two years of service. At the moment, the app is not available in France pending Apple establishing teams and partnerships with the appropriate aid organizations. Therefore, it is reserved for US and Canadian users.
