Crash Detection on Apple Watch Ultra

How It Works: Crash Detection utilizes advanced sensors to detect severe car crashes, such as front-impact, rear-end collisions, and rollovers. If a crash occurs and the watch detects you’re unresponsive, it will automatically call emergency services and alert your emergency contacts. If you’re conscious, you can manually dismiss the alert.

Availability: Crash Detection is available on the Apple Watch Series 8, Apple Watch SE (2nd generation), and Apple Watch Ultra with the latest version of watchOS.


Additional Safety Features on Apple Watch Ultra

  3. Compass Backtrack (Apple Watch Ultra): Use the compass to retrace your steps if you’re lost.

Setting Up Emergency Features

Set Up Emergency Contacts: Add trusted family and friends as emergency contacts through the Health app on your iPhone. This will ensure they are notified in case of an emergency.

Update Your Software: Ensure both your Apple Watch and iPhone are running the latest software versions to get the best performance from these features.
