Send your location to emergency services
Not all carriers and countries support this feature.
If Android Emergency Location Service (ELS) works in your country and on your carrier's network and if you
haven't turned off ELS, when you call or text an emergency number, ELS will send your location to
authorised emergency responders to help them to locate you.
If ELS is off, your carrier might still send the phone's location during an emergency call. For more
information, check with your carrier.
To turn ELS on or off:
1. Go to Settings > Location > Location services.
2. Touch Emergency Location Service.
3.
Turn it on or off .
To learn more about ELS, read Google's help.
