Facebook Safety Check: Facebook launches an additional feature called "Security check." New tool will be available on Web, iOS, and Android for those with phones.
When the user lives in an area affected by a natural disaster, Facebook sends them one notice who will ask him if everything is okay. From the application dashboard, the users they can then see which of their friends are in the same area and whether they are safe or not, based on the responses they have sent to Facebook.
Once the user has confirmed that no damage has occurred, a security review notification will appear in his friends' feeds.
Hopefully, we will never use this tool. Natural disasters are not a very common phenomenon. Facebook with this tool tries to provide a solution where communications are unfeasible, but also to enable you to enable site control on your devices.
The Facebook says:
Audit notifications
|
You say you are safe
|
See how others are
|
If you seem to be near a natural disaster, we will ask you if you are safe.
|
If you are safe, tap it button "Είμαι ασφαλής" για να ενημερώσετε άμεσα τους φίλους και τα αγαπημένα σας πρόσωπα.
|
We'll let you know when your friends say they're safe. You can also see a list of your friends who may have been affected by the catastrophic event.
