There\u2019s a new development on the horizon for Android users that could make a huge difference in an emergency. Google Pixel phones already have some useful safety features like Car Crash Detection and Safety Check. However, it appears Google is working on a new tool inspired by iPhone\u2019s emergency live video feature to further enhance its safety offerings.<\/p>\n

For years, Apple has offered a feature called Emergency SOS Live Video. It allows a person to stream live video to emergency dispatchers if requested. This gives first responders a real-time look at a situation, providing crucial information that a phone call alone can\u2019t convey. From assessing the severity of a fire to locating someone in distress, a live video feed can be a powerful tool for dispatchers to send the right help immediately.<\/p>\n

Google is working on live video sharing with emergency services<\/p>\n

Currently, Pixel phones have an emergency video recording feature, but it\u2019s a bit different. It records a video up to 45 minutes long and sends a link to your emergency contacts. However, it doesn\u2019t offer a live stream directly to emergency services.<\/p>\n

That said, recent findings by Android Authority in the code for Google Play Services (25.35.34 beta) suggest that a new, more advanced feature is in development for Android devices. The code points to a new tool that will let users \u201cshare live video\u201d directly with emergency services. Yes, it sounds almost identical to Apple\u2019s feature. This video wouldn\u2019t be saved to your device, but a dispatcher could choose to record it if needed.<\/p>\n

This new capability would be a major upgrade for Pixel owners. Its discovery within Google Play Services raises an exciting possibility: this feature might not be exclusive to Pixel phones. Since Google Play Services is a core component of most Android devices, this new live video sharing could eventually be available to the entire Android ecosystem, from Samsung to Motorola and beyond. It would mark a major step for Google in expanding its safety features to a wider audience. This way, Google would ensure that more people have access to critical tools during an emergency.
