How to use the Personal Safety app to stay safe and alert emergency contacts

Google Pixel with the Personal Safety app.

Google Pixel phones dating back years have an app called Safety where you can log medical information about yourself in the event of an emergency, set up emergency contacts, and more recently, set up a safety check so a trusted person can keep tabs on you when you're on your own, like going for a late-night run.

Setting up this app is one of the first things you should do when you get a Google Pixel or other eligible Android phone, as it could be a literal lifesaver. And with all the cool new features like Car Crash Detection and Crisis Alerts, and recent expansions of features like Safety Check, the app can help with more than you realize.
