Google’s ‘Fast Emergency Dialer’ app adds local emergency numbers on the lock screen of your Pixel

  • Quick access: To call an emergency number with one action, use the slider.
  • Automatic emergency numbers: Your phone finds emergency numbers automatically, even when you travel.
  • Multiple emergency numbers: Your phone finds available numbers for your area, like Police, Fire, or medical services. Use the slider for the emergency service you need.

The emergency dialer has two locations: on the phone’s lock screen through the emergency call button or the power menu once you’ve unlocked your device.

Accessing the FED using the power button is dependent on your device, according to the Google Support page. It may be accessed by holding down the power button for five seconds, tapping emergency, and using the slider in the emergency menu on Android 11 and before and Android 12 on the Pixel 5 and earlier. On the Pixel 6 and Pixel 6 Pro, the default options for Android 12 are to press the power and volume up buttons at the same time, then tap emergency and utilize the slider.
