How to Use Fall Detection with Apple Watch Series 4?

Users can easily connect to emergency services if Apple Watch Series 4 met a significant drop.

How does it work?

The Watch can sense a hard fall when you are wearing it. You will get a tap on the wrist; you will see an alert. It is up to the users if they want to contact the emergency services or not. By hard pressing the Digital Crown, they can even tap Close in upper hand leftmost edge. Simply tap I am OK.

When the Apple Watch catches you moving, it will want you to respond to alert. It is not going to call the emergency services on its own. It will wait for you to answer. If the watch finds out that user is immobile for some time, then it will automatically make a call.
