Back in June, Apple revealed a new feature for emergency SOS which would let you video call with 911 dispatchers — all to help them get a better grasp of the situation. It’s just been announced that this feature will start going live in 911 dispatch centers sometime this fall.
According to CNET, RapidSOS and Prepared, which supply the communications for 911 services, say that they’ll be supporting this new feature in the coming months. According to RapidOS these capabilities will be offered “for free to existing emergency services customers” and the updates should cover 99% of the US population.
