She Said Routine for Android

Solution 1: Use Android’s Native Built-in Safety Features (No Apps Required)

Modern Android devices running Android 12 or newer ship with a built-in Personal Safety / Emergency SOS system. It handles alerting loved ones, sharing location, and capturing video.  It can also call emergency services.

What it does:

• Trigger: Rapidly press the Power button 5 times.
• Action:
  1. Sends a text message to designated emergency contacts with real-time location sharing.
  2. Automatically starts recording continuous video (up to 45 minutes) via the camera, auto-backing it up to the user’s Google account and sharing a view link directly with those contacts.

Setup Instructions (Stock Android / Pixel / Samsung):

1. Open Settings Safety & emergency.
2. Tap Emergency SOS.
3. Select Emergency Contacts and add your recipient.
4. Enable Send location info and Record emergency video.

Solution 2: Manufacturer-Specific Hardware Shortcuts (Samsung Galaxy)

If the device is a Samsung Galaxy phone, Samsung includes an extra native routine option via Modes and Routines + SOS Messages:

1. Go to Settings Safety and emergency Send SOS messages.
2. Turn it On and set the emergency contact.
3. Enable Attach pictures: This natively captures pictures from both the front and rear camera simultaneously and texts them alongside your location link and emergency text.
4. Set the trigger (e.g., press the Side key 3 or 4 times).
