One of the functions that most impacted the new Apple Watch Series 4 It is to ask us with a notification or to notify emergencies directly in the event that we do not move, after suffering a fall to the ground. This watch feature is available for all new models but is disabled in settings when the person setting up the Apple Watch is under 65 years of age.
For the rest of the older users it is activated as standard, that is, these users do not have to activate it in the settings. The function can be activated or deactivated whenever the user wants, but without a doubt it is a curious fact that it is disabled depending on age of the person who sets the clock.
Some tests show correct operation
In social networks we are already seeing some videos and data that demonstrate the effectiveness of the new function with jumping on mats or similar that do not activate the function, but when the person wearing the watch falls to the ground, the watch activates «SOS "According to what we can read in the description of the function, it will simply notify us" by touches on the wrist "when we do not respond to those touches, the automatic emergency call is activated to the number that we have predefined. In the description it also says that the watch may not detect all drops And it is that if we are physically active the clock could get confused and activate the notification on occasions that we do not need it.
Anyway, it is a great function that we can activate directly from our iPhone once the clock has been synchronized. For this we simply have to access the iPhone Watch app> My watch> SOS emergency and activate the Fall detection option. Apple also has this option disabled as we said above for all users who are under 65, something that seems correct considering that falling can happen to anyone but the function is created for older people. Do you have it active on your new Apple Watch?
