I know there were thigns like this in the older Symbian devices where you could send a quick message to people.
I thought IOS had a similar type setup, I’ll have to check that one again, From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Alex Hall Sent: Tuesday, 15 November 2016 12:16 AM To: 'Chris Blouch' via MacVisionaries <macvisionaries@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: Emergency Text Messaging That feature may not be what the original poster is after. It can only notify up to three contacts, and it automatically calls emergency services. My understanding was that the OP wanted to quickly send a preset message to a larger group, not call any authorities.

Instead of pressing the button on the watch you press the screen lock button 5 times now and it sends a message with your location to your contacts defined under the SOS feature as well as alerts the authorities. So the button no longer re springs the phone I don’t believe now it’s dedicated to SOS functions. Download and install the beta 2 of 10.2 to enable this feature. You define the settings under settings, general, SOS. Hope that helps.
