Google is working on an update to the Pixel's emergency dialer that will automatically know your location so that the correct number can be called to receive help.
. The"Fast Emergency Dialer" will, when enabled, allow the user to follow a series of touch and swipe commands that will show the local phone numbers for police, fire, and medical services. Users will be able to call for help even if their phone is locked and the numbers are not committed to memory.
Back in 2021, the new emergency dialer was spotted with a different UI. It is possible that Google was testing the feature since last summer, or had released it in other markets first. Settings for the FED can be found in Google's Personal Safety app. While Google has its Pixel models set to use the"Fast Emergency Dialer" automatically, it might not yet be available in all areas of the country, and from all carriers.
