graphenediscoverer4 It wasn't emitting any SOS. I accidentally pressed the power button five times and a call was initiated with an English voice telling me I would be redirected to the emergency services shortly. I hung up before it actually did. Location: Norway. Google Personal Safety on PixelOS in Norwegian is by default set to 112 (police). I had not nor installed Google Personal Safety before. I was using GrapheneOS. That's all I know.
I will likely be calling the emergency services manually during an emergency so that I can reach the correct number without having to be redirected.
I live in an area of the country where I know for sure that the operators get an immediate fix on my location if I have to call the emergency services. This has been part of my work so I know this for sure. I don't how the situation is in other countries. I do not have any friends so wouldn't benefit from GPS sharing from my phone.
This is my personal reflection so please do not take this as me arguing against you using the Personal Safety app. I'm seeing some threads already on this topic so it might be worth opening a Github issue as a feature request. I'm not sure how much work would need to be put into this from the developers' side, if they deem it as a feature they see as relevant to implement.
