The Emergency SOS App is a safety tool designed for users to quickly send an SOS alert, including their current location, to emergency contacts in times of need. This app allows users to add emergency contacts, start an audio recording for evidence, and trigger a panic alarm. The app utilizes the iOS location services to fetch the user’s current location and send that information along with the alert.
This project is built with SwiftUI and is designed to run on iPhone 16 with iOS 18.2. The app is aimed at providing an extra layer of safety for users who may be in dangerous or vulnerable situations. By sending emergency alerts, recordings, and location data, the app ensures that help can reach the user as quickly as possible.

In emergency situations, every second counts. Having a quick and reliable way to alert others and share your location can be life-saving.
This app addresses this critical need by providing a simple, intuitive interface that allows users to:
- Send alerts to their loved ones instantly, without the need to manually dial emergency numbers.
- Share their exact location, ensuring that rescuers or loved ones can find them quickly.
- Record audio that could potentially serve as evidence in case of a dangerous situation.
- By offering these features, the Emergency SOS App significantly enhances personal safety and can make a difference in critical moments, helping users feel secure and protected.
