Abstract
This relates generally to intelligent automated assistants and, more specifically, to provide real-time emergency assistance. An example method includes receiving a user input from a user of the electronic device, determining whether the user is in an emergency situation in response to the user input, and in response to determining that the user is in the emergency situation: enabling an emergency mode on the electronic device, connecting to an emergency service to facilitate a communication between the user and the emergency service, providing information about the emergency situation to the emergency service, and providing instructions to the user to handle the emergency situation based on one or more additional inputs from the user.
