Some users have begun seeing the fall detection feature of the Google Pixel Watch and being prompted to set it up.
The Pixel Watch’s missing safety feature appears to be on its way at this time. Google claims that it will undoubtedly become a reality in 2023.
Google Pixel Watch Fall Detection Starts Rolling Out
According to a report by XDA Developers, Google’s first smartwatch has a fall detection feature. However, the Pixel Watch debuted without it. As a result, some users are patiently awaiting its long-awaited arrival.
The renowned tech firm says that the safety feature is coming to Pixel Watch users in 2023. And as we welcome the new year, some users are starting to get their hands on the much-awaited Fall Detection feature.
According to a news story by 9to5 Google, some users are getting their hands on the Fall Detection feature ahead of everyone else.
After the user resets the Pixel Watch, the eagerly awaited safety feature becomes available. After that, a prompt prompted the owner to configure fall detection.
The wearable prompts users to set up their Emergency SOS, Google Wallet, and now the Fall Detection feature. The safety function enables users to “seek help quickly after a heavy fall by authorising your watch to call your primary contact,” according to the prompt.
How to Use Fall Detection?
In essence, according to XDA Developers, fall detection enables the Pixel Watch to determine whether a user has had a hard fall. The functionality should then prompt its users to decide whether to call 911 or not. If users failed to react, it would immediately reach out to the authorities.
Here’s how to access the feature if it has begun to roll out to your Pixel Watch.
Go to your wearable’s settings menu. Then, click “Safety & Emergency” and toggle “Fall detection.”
It is important to note that similar detection functionality is available right now on other well-known smartwatches, like the Apple Watch Series 8 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 5. And this time, it appears that owners of the Pixel Watch are receiving access to a similar safety feature.
9to5 Google noted in its report that the search engine company hasn’t yet made the rollout of the aforementioned feature official. In reality, the online news source reported that, as of this writing, a help page was still unavailable.
For the time being, you will need to reset your Pixel Watch if you are eager to obtain it right away. You could choose to wait for its formal deployment if that sounds like too much trouble.
