45 Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Tips & Tricks

Emergency SOS Message

This little trick is one that almost no one know about, but every parent should teach their child. It's a command that allows the owner to set up a contact to reach in case of emergency, without alerting anyone else. Tap the power button three times very fast, and it will send a message, location, and other information to a number of your choosing. Incredible right? Yes, this could be a lifesaver.

Head into Settings > Personal (Culomn) > Privacy & Safety and select the emergency SOS messages option. Customize it with audio, pictures (the phone can quickly snap photos or record audio of a situation and more) and then set the number for emergencies. Then the owner can tap the power button 3 times quickly to send an emergency message to their contact of choosing. It's one of those little things many don't know about, but could make all the difference in a terrible situation. Think about that for a second, then teach your friends and family members about it. You can never be too careful.
