Google has announced a new feature called Android Emergency Live Video

They really need to start naming shit better because is this AOSP Android or Google Android. My money is on this being a Google Dialer specific feature.

Not that I want it. Just pointing out that Android used to be open.

Cool, so in ~10 years it might be adopted and usable by your local municipality.

[–] Cort@lemmy.world 16 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

And in ~11 years they'll be able to turn it on without asking permission because there's an emergency nearby

[–] circuscritic@lemmy.ca 4 points 7 hours ago

No, that feature will be available at launch, or after the first update, at the latest.

There is no way this will last 10 years. It probably will be killed off in a few months

[–] Nighed@feddit.uk 0 points 6 hours ago

It's good that google has made it an option though.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 3 points 7 hours ago

There's NO WAY this will be abused.

Nope.
