When Google bought Android, its path was very clear: its intention was to control an ecosystem in which it could include its free services and applications to habituate users to them, preventing them from turning to the competition. When Apple introduced the iPhone, Android changed dramatically, but the strategy remained.
This is why Google services are more popular where Android has a larger market share. With the exception of the search engine, Services such as Google Drive, Google Photos or Gmail are used more by Android users than by iOS usersbecause Apple's mobile also integrates similar systems, such as iCloud, Apple Maps or similar.
But the Google apps pre-installed on mobile phones They are no longer the same as a few years ago. Little by little, the company includes others, which appear in a folder at the bottom left of the mobile office when we configure it for the first time. Recently included was FitBit, which has been part of Google for years but hasn't been preinstalled until now.
Another app that hasn't been preinstalled for many years is emergencies, which collects all important information from the mobile phone and its user and allows emergency calls to be made. The essence of this application is to be able to communicate in the event of an accident or other type of problem.
To do this, we must configure the data requested from us, such as emergency contacts, our medical data, etc. Until recently, all this information was found in the settings of the mobile itself, but it was harder to locate and most users ultimately ignored it. Even depending on the brand, the settings may be in one place or another.

With this new application it is easier to know if we have something pending to configurebe able to see a short tutorial on how to call 112 even if you cannot use the cell phone normally, etc. It is especially useful for older peoplewho may not handle technology as well. Having the emergency application with its icon on the main screen is a good complement to the rest of the functions of your smartphone.
This application is also responsible for receiving geolocated crisis alerts that may occur in the area. They are similar to government SMS alerts, but they do not work in the same way, although their function is very similar.
