Oppo: Add Emergency Contacts for Emergency SOS

If Emergency SOS or emergency SMS on your Oppo phone only reaches the default 112 number, no personal emergency contact is stored yet. Without at least one saved contact, alerts and location messages during an SOS trigger won't go out to anyone you know.

Add Emergency Contacts for Emergency SOS auf Oppo

Oppo phones ship with the emergency number 112 already stored for Emergency SOS and emergency SMS, but that single entry limits what the safety feature can actually do.

Emergency SOS on ColorOS relies on a list of emergency contacts to decide who receives your location and an alert message when the feature is triggered. Without an added contact, only the default number gets dialed and nobody close to you is notified.

To add a personal contact, open SettingsSecurityEmergency SOSEmergency callEmergency numbersAdd emergency contact, then choose the person from your address book.

Each contact you add stays in the same list, so you can include several family members or close friends without touching the default 112 entry.

If your goal is only sharing live location with family outside of an SOS trigger, a dedicated location-sharing app fits better than editing emergency contacts.

Removing a contact later works the same way: open the list, select the entry, and choose to delete it.
