What Devices Support TravelSafe SOS?
The TravelSafe SOS App has been developed for broad compatibility across Android and Apple devices to ensure as many travelers as possible have access to vital emergency tools. Whether you’re using a smartphone, tablet, or compatible Apple device, TravelSafe SOS is designed to keep you safe no matter your destination.
Below is a breakdown of the operating systems and device requirements for installing and running the app.
Android Device Requirements
TravelSafe SOS works with Android OS version 7.0 and higher. That means the app is compatible with more than 17,500 Android devices globally. These include most mainstream models from:
- Samsung
- Huawei
- Xiaomi
- Nokia
- Oppo
- Vivo
- Google Pixel
- Motorola
If your device runs Android 7.0 (Nougat) or later, you can download the app directly from the Google Play Store. Most devices from 2016 onward meet this requirement. For optimal performance, we recommend keeping your Android system updated and enabling background data usage.
iOS and Apple Device Compatibility
For Apple users, TravelSafe SOS is supported on a range of devices including:
- iPhones: Requires iOS 15.1 or later. This covers iPhone models from iPhone 6s and newer.
- iPod Touch: Also requires iOS 15.1 or later.
- Mac Computers: Requires macOS 12.0 (Monterey) or later and a Mac powered by an Apple M1 chip or newer.
- Apple Vision Devices: Requires visionOS 1.0 or later.
Users can download the TravelSafe SOS app via the Apple App Store. We recommend enabling location services, push notifications, and background app refresh for full functionality during an emergency.
Offline and Low-Data Mode Behavior
The TravelSafe SOS app relies on a mobile data connection or Wi-Fi for real-time alerts, location sharing, and communication with emergency response teams. However, the app is designed with flexibility in mind for travelers who may encounter remote or low-connectivity environments.
Here’s how it works:
- If your phone temporarily loses signal or data access, the app will queue any emergency activations or messages and send them automatically once you’re back in a data coverage area.
- To ensure this happens correctly, do not close the app completely in low-signal zones. Instead, keep it running in the background whenever possible.
- If you’re hiking, driving through rural areas, or traveling across borders, try to check that your location services and app permissions remain active.
The design of this fail-safe system gives you peace of mind knowing your emergency request will still be delivered, even with temporary service disruption.

Whether you’re running Android 7.0 or using an Apple M1-powered Mac, TravelSafe SOS makes sure your emergency button works when you need it most. Even in the background, the app monitors your location (with permission) and is ready to transmit critical details if you activate it during a crisis.
