Features like crash detection have already proven useful on devices from Google and Apple, particularly in situations where users may be unable to call for help themselves.<\/p>\n

More safety tools for teens, too<\/h2>\n

Google isn\u2019t stopping with younger children. Teen users will also get access to additional Personal Safety app features, including Safety Check and real-time location sharing with emergency contacts. Safety Check is particularly useful for situations where someone is traveling alone or returning home…<\/p>\n
