How to Manage Emergency Contacts

Short answer

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

  1. Open Emergency Contacts.
  2. Add manually or choose from Contacts.
  3. 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.

Questions this answers

  • How do I add an emergency contact?
  • Does adding a contact tell them?
