Can Amara call for help in an emergency?
Can Amara call for help in an emergency?
No. Amara is not an emergency service and not a home emergency call service (Hausnotruf). In an emergency, always call 112, the emergency number in Germany.
What Amara does when someone needs help
- If Amara picks up signs of an emergency in a conversation, Amara suggests calling 112. But you can't rely on that.
- The family doesn't get a notification when this happens.
- Calls through Amara aren't meant for emergencies either. The call screen says so too.
Calling family
Your parents or grandparents can call a family member by voice at any time. That's handy, but it doesn't replace an emergency call.
Home emergency call service
If your parents or grandparents have a home emergency call service (Hausnotruf), keep it. Amara doesn't replace it.
