About this feature

SOS Emergency on Kayastha Setu

Late-night travel, an elderly parent living alone, a medical emergency — SOS is the button you hope you never need, built to work when you do.

Hold SOS for 3 seconds: your live location is captured and every emergency contact automatically gets an SMS with your name, coordinates and a map link — even if they don't have the app or internet. Contacts who use the app also get a loud, vibrating alert, and WhatsApp and call buttons are one tap away. Your medical card (blood group, allergies, medicines) and India helpline numbers are one tap away.
