Fall Detection on the Apple Watch

From Jim H

If you have an Apple watch, the following might be of interest...Jim

Use an Apple Watch? Make sure Fall Detection is set up. It works with the Apple Watch SESeries 4 and later, and the Apple Watch Ultra. If Apple knows you’re 55 or older, it’s enabled automatically. To check:

  • Open the Watch app on your iPhone.

  • Tap My Watch > Emergency SOS.

  • Turn on Fall Detection. You can select Always on or Only on during workouts.

Now, if your watch detects a fall, you’ll get a pop-up asking if you need emergency help. If not, you can signal you’re OK. No response? Emergency help is on the way!
