Adding Emergency Contacts
Who will come to the rescue?
The automatic crash detection’s real value is getting your loved ones notified of your location and time of accident so they can either contact you or rescue services. But in order for them to receive the text message with the information in the first place you will have to add them as an Emergency Contact in the app.
How to add an Emergency Contact
The first option you will be presented with is adding an Emergency Contact during the onboarding. If you didn’t add one here, don’t worry. There’s another way to add or remove Emergency Contacts within the app.
- From the Start Screen, navigate to your Profile Page.
- Open Settings, the cog icon in the top right corner.
- Tap Emergency Contacts.
- From here, tap the button +Add Emergency Contact.
- Here you can either:
- Manually add their name and phone number.
- Import contact from your phone book.
- Finally, tap Save to add your contact as an Emergency Contact.
- From here on out, your added Emergency Contact will now get a text message should the crash detection trigger and the alarm be activated.
Need to add additional Emergency Contacts?
To add additional Emergency Contacts (up to 5 in total) you will need to upgrade to Detecht Premium.
Once Premium, add additional Emergency Contacts as previously.
In-app friends
Besides adding Emergency Contacts that will receive all the vital information through text messages on their phones, you can also choose which of your in-app friends that will be alerted of your accident within the Detecht app.
While in the Emergency Contact page in Settings, you can simply toggle on/off which of your friends in the list that will receive a notification about your accident.
