Description

Contact enhances everyday calling and messaging with built-in emergency tools, including silent text-to-911, live video dispatch, real-time location sharing, medical-profile relay, and routing to 988, 311, and 211.

The 911, 988, 311, and 211 integrations are designed for services in the United States. Availability and emergency numbers differ in other countries.

The application provides familiar calls, messages, contacts, a keypad, and recent activity without requiring a separate emergency workflow.

Contact is not a certified emergency service. Its emergency integrations are experimental and educational, and availability depends on device, carrier, location, and public-safety infrastructure.

What’s new (1.0.6)

Fixed international phone-number entry, improved screen-reader labels and system-navigation spacing, clarified U.S. emergency-service availability, and removed sensitive details from messaging logs.
