How to Use SOS Alerts with 24/7 Emergency Dispatch

While the free SOS alerts can be helpful, you will find that you have a lot more features when you are a Gold or Platinum member. With the SOS and 24/7 emergency dispatch features, the app will also contact dispatch services as soon as the SOS countdown is complete.

All of the Circle members and emergency contacts will be alerted, as well as the dispatch center. This means that you don’t have to call for help. The dispatcher can then call you to get a better idea of what’s happening. They will then contact the proper authorities to provide help. This might be an ambulance or the police, for example.

How to Cancel Life360 SOS Alert

Of course, you are probably wondering how to cancel the Life360 SOS alert if you aren’t in any real danger. It’s easy – all you need to do is Slide to Cancel. You can do this with either the free plan or one of the paid Life360 memberships.

When you cancel the alarm within 20 minutes, the app will contact the people in your Circle and your emergency contacts with another text and a notification on the Life360 app. This text/notification will let them know that you are safe. If you don’t cancel, they won’t get the message.
