iPhone 14/Plus Crash detection

Does anyone work in emergency services?

I’m curious to what the iPhone 14 tells the emergency services if crash detection is on and the user is not responding?

Based in the UK here.

Purely curious of such a great feature.

I don't know what it says but it still dispatches first responders to the location.

I’ve never heard of one of these from an Apple device since it came out, and that’s London. The minimum it would have to give is a set of GPS coordinates and a time to generate a call though.

I can answer that 🙂

It sends the estimated location coordinates of the device and the phone number.

The alert appears as a log on the local police force computer. Control room staff will attempt to contact the iPhone. If no contact is made or it is a real emergency, it will go to dispatch for deployment and other services will be informed.

False alerts do happen from iPhones, but not that often in my experience.
