iOS will share location automatically during emergency calls
The news arrives with the launch of iOS 12, next autumn. From then on, the new apple-brand operating system version will share the exact location of the caller with 911 emergency services in the United States.The goal is to reduce response time by providing more detailed information that the individual himself is unable to provide at the time. Apple warrants that location data will not be shared for other purposes, "only with the 911 center that picks up the call."Functionality - which, at least initially, is only foreseen for the United States - is a step forward in assisting in critical situations. Its operation will be ensured by technology owned by Apple, HELO, and RapidSOS, a technology that works in this area.The iOS 12 was introduced earlier this month during WWDC 2018. The arrival of the new version, "faster and more efficient" and with news on the AR experiences, Facetime that can have up to 32 people in simultaneous conversation, control over how children use applications and Memojis.
