Android phone can't open the location of SOS SMS sent by Apple phone.

First of all, I am Apple's ios system and my parents' Android system.

Coincidentally, after an incident, I also started to use Apple's sos function and did many detailed tests. The test results (not necessarily official, but I think so) are as follows:

1. The recipient of emergency information and location must be an Apple mobile phone. If it is an Android phone, it will be like this.

It looks like this after downloading.

It can be seen that Android phones cannot display specific positioning.

Where are the apples?

2. Then I found a colleague who used Apple, and the test results are as follows.

This is a screenshot of the information interface sent by my mobile phone. At the beginning, the other party didn't receive it. I repeatedly confirmed with him by WeChat and SMS, and finally knew the problem-

The other party has not turned on the imessage function.

After finding the problem, we tested it again. This time, it went well.

To sum up, if Apple's mobile phone wants to use sos function normally, it needs the other party to be an Apple mobile phone and turn on imessage function.

If, like me, the subject has parents who are advocates of Android phones, you can set up more emergency contacts, preferably all of them are from Apple, and then tell them to call the police according to their location after receiving the news, and then help inform their parents of the specific situation.

In addition, the specific steps to open the sos function are attached /HT208076.

I hope this function will never be used in our life.
