Smartphones are used for communication
This is the most basic way to get yourself out of a sticky situation using your smartphones. Immediately calling for help via your phone is a first-thought instinct, whenever or whatever harsh scenario was under. This is one of the most efficient way to get you out of the scenario and one of those that is a longshot (especially if you signal is a huge factor and loads are inefficient.).
Navigating tool
Another useful feat of the smartphones that can help you guys out of various natural or man-made disaster is its GPS and internet service. Remember, the majority of smartphones can now have GPS under their belt. Make sure to know when and where to use them, though, since it drains the battery quickly. You can use the GPS system to navigate your way out of your current unlikely location and hopefully the overall predicament.
Smartphones can be a source of light
Almost every smartphone has the flashlight app that you can use to navigate your way through various dark locations with ease. If a flashlight app or feature is absent on the phone, you can instead use the backlight of the phone to navigate yourself. Also, these light sources would be a good way to signal possible rescuers and eventually lead them to your whereabouts.
Smartphones can be used as a Data collector
If you’re walking around after the incident and is looking for people, you can use the camera feature of smartphones to collect various landmarks that you can use as a reference. This helps in preventing you to slowly venture outward and will give you a good idea of your current location when traveling.
Non-verbal communication medium
If you’re ever in the predicament when talking would get you hurt or worse, for example being kidnap or whatnot and would like to communicate with a fellow captive, a smartphone is a good way to do so. Always know that the text method of a smartphone can be quite useful in many ways than this one, so you should always keep in mind that your phone can be a good device to do non-verbal communication with someone.
What do you guys think of our list? Hopefully, you guys won’t get yourselves into this scenario, but it’s good to know that your smartphone can help you in various ways to get yourself out of the situation.
