Previously, Google introduced the Safety Signal feature on supported Pixel Watch models to provide Google Health Premium users with LTE connectivity for essential safety features- such as Emergency SOS and Fall Detection- without requiring a standalone carrier plan for users with Google Health Premium.
Yesterday, the company announced that it will end Safety Signal support on Pixel Watch 2 (LTE) and Pixel Watch 3 (LTE).
Safety Signal support ending on selected Pixel Watch LTE-enabled models
Support for Safety Signal will end on 12th December for Pixel Watch 2 (LTE) and Pixel Watch 3 (LTE).
Existing Safety Signal users will receive advance notice via email and push notifications. During the 30-day transition period from the date of the email, users may still access the features made available via Safety Signal without a standalone carrier plan. After December 12, 2026, this access will end.
Core emergency features such as Emergency SOS, Fall Detection, and Safety Check will continue to work whenever your watch is connected to WiFi, paired via Bluetooth with a phone nearby, or connected to an active cellular line through your carrier.
To maintain continuous access to Emergency SOS, Fall Detection, and cellular capabilities when away from your phone, you can set up a mobile plan or eSIM through a supported carrier.
