We’re proud to unveil The SOS App v25.4.99 update, the most robust and intuitive version of our emergency safety platform yet. Based on your invaluable feedback and our ongoing commitment to delivering life-saving features, this update is all about speed, precision, and seamless usability—even when every second counts.

In this release, you’ll discover new hardware-button triggers that bypass the lock screen, significant enhancements to our fall-detection intelligence, and a complete redesign of the Health & Emergency Profile. Plus, you’ll notice smoother real-time family tracking and under-the-hood optimizations to make the app lighter and more responsive.

Instant SOS via Hardware Buttons

No more fumbling to unlock your phone during a crisis. With v25.4.99, help is always just a quick press away, even if your device is locked:

  • Volume & Power Shortcut: Press both volume buttons together or tap the power button three times to launch the alert sequence instantly.
  • Live Location Sharing: Your precise coordinates are sent immediately to your designated contacts and emergency services.
  • Customizable Trigger Settings: Head into Settings to choose which button combination works best for you.

This feature removes unnecessary steps and ensures that your alert is dispatched in under a second, because in emergencies, every millisecond matters.

Real-Time Family Tracking – Smarter & Smoother

We understand how crucial it is to know where your loved ones are, especially when they’re on the move. That’s why we’ve fine-tuned our mapping engine:

  • Faster Map Refresh: Locations update up to 50% quicker, giving you near-instant awareness.
  • Adaptive Accuracy: If GPS signal drops, the app seamlessly falls back to cell-tower triangulation.
  • Battery-Smart Mode: Optimized polling intervals strike the perfect balance between timeliness and power efficiency.

Together, these improvements provide a consistently reliable view of family members’ whereabouts—whether they’re running errands across town or traveling to remote areas.

Advanced Fall Detection Engine

Accidental tumbles can happen anytime, anywhere. Our updated motion-analysis model brings you:

  • Machine-Tuned Sensitivity: Leveraging new AI-driven algorithms to reduce false positives by 30%.
  • User Confirmation Prompt: Immediately after detecting a fall, you see a “Cancel Alert” option to prevent unnecessary calls.
  • Activity Learning: The system adapts to your normal movement patterns over time, becoming more accurate with each use.

By combining smarter sensors with adaptive learning, SOS App now offers industry-leading reliability when it comes to detecting real emergencies.

Revamped Health & Emergency Profile

We’ve reimagined your health dashboard so critical information is always front and center:

  • Quick-Access Tiles: View blood group, allergies, chronic conditions, and custom emergency notes at a glance.
  • Alert Overlay Integration: During an SOS, your top health details appear right on the confirmation screen for first responders.
  • One-Tap Editing: Update any profile fields in seconds via the new “Edit Health Data” button.

This redesign ensures that, when you need it most, your vital medical data is clear, accessible, and ready to share with the right people.

Privacy & Security Assurance

At Famalth, we treat your personal data with the utmost care:

Your health records and location logs remain encrypted both in transit and at rest. Button-triggered alerts share only the information you’ve explicitly approved, and fall detection runs solely when toggled on—no background polling otherwise. We continue to follow strict data-protection standards so you can trust that your sensitive information never leaves the app without your permission.
