It didn't work on my Redmi 8 o. No emergency info displayed
redmi miui phones doesn't support the feature but you have one that you can set some numbers, once you quickly press the power button five times, it will send out message to those numbers stating that you're in trouble.....

I don't get, this info is useless. You can only dial '911' or '122' which are the standard emergency numbers.

Somebody should screnshot it if they can actually edit it to allow other numbers.

I've been seeing these useless msg circulating on whatsapp for months now

I thought i was the only one who could not set the so called numbers

Vital Information That Will Definitely Save Lives

VERY VITAL INFORMATION

We the youths of today are fond of putting password/patterns on our phones which makes it difficult for someone to access it in case of unfortunate situations like phone loss, sickness, accident or even death. But with these few knowledge I'm going to share, perhaps we can save ourselves and the lives of others also.

STEP 1

When your phone is locked, it normally shows enter password, under it you will see emergency. Click on the emergency, then you will see emergency information. Click on the emergency information (2 times). You will see a pencil icon on your extreme right, click on it to edit.

STEP 2

Then enter the contacts you want to save as emergency. You can put as many contacts as possible but I advice you save numbers of active people who know you very well (Family/friend).

Now these contacts you have saved can be called even when your phone is locked without entering your password.

NOTE:

To call a number under emergency, you must repeat the process above.

A soul can be saved through this.

FEEL FREE TO SHARE WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY!

Thanks for this op; Although not the same steps for iphone but made me realize I needed to setup mine.

Wow! What a vital information. This is the type of information we should be seen on naira land and not snake thread here and there and how one man die on top of a lady or how wife kill her husband and stuff like that.

Typical Nigerian lazy youth...instead of you to read carefully or ask questions.. You're here showing your ignorance over something a lot of us have been using for a while now.


Pathetic!

Nice one niggarrr
Op must be a real niggarrr
Android 10 is dope. Just hold the power button for some seconds and the emergency icon will show then you can edit your emergency contact



Damnnnnn niggarrr
Try to be a real niggarrr and understand the write up
Most niggarrrs here don't read to understand
Na the headline confuse you so abi?




But as a real niggarrr
I think they should introduce "guest user" on our devices

I mean our devices should be programmed in such a way that strangers can acces it even when it is locked but the access should be restricted to some certain functions of the phone.

Although android 10 has this function but still not well organized
My infinix phone already have the option

You are a learner. It has been on Android since 6.0. you just have to modify it a bit to allow a locked phone

my gionee p7 is android 7.0 but the feature is missing.. no such as emergency info

Abdulaaleem:


my gionee p7 is android 7.0 but the feature is missing.. no such as emergency info

The likely reason is because some phone manufacturers have their custom UI (eg Gionee's Amigo OS, Samsung's touchwiz and OneUI, HTC sense UI) which strips some functionalities off .


That why I always endeavour to buy an unlockable phone,then modify my ROM to have the best experience.
