How to Manage Emergency Contacts
Open Settings → Safety & Alerts → Emergency Contacts. Add a person manually or choose from device Contacts, then use them as Journey watchers or safety recipients.
Steps
- Open Emergency Contacts.
- Add manually or choose from Contacts.
- Save the contact.
How this works
An emergency contact is a stored recipient, not a subscription. Saving one tells that person nothing; they hear from STALKR only when you select them as a Journey watcher or a safety-timer recipient and that delivery succeeds.
Contacts permission is requested only when you open the device picker. Adding someone manually needs no contacts access at all.
Emergency contacts are a Pro entitlement, are private to your account, and saving changes requires connectivity.
What happens next
The contact becomes selectable as a Journey watcher or a safety-timer recipient. Nothing is delivered to them until one of those workflows escalates.
Common problems
- Contacts permission is requested only for the device picker.
- Saving a contact does not notify them or message them in any way.
