If an accurate SOS or message on the locked screen shoukd not blanked out so quickly as the rotation of text means more time waiting and less chance of survival. Example: please save my pet at home in the event of death.

I have the pixel 10 Pro and pixel watch 4.so far I have had two false positives and one false negative. the former is okay, I can handle it being too sensitive and apologise. for it to miss me fainting and falling, makes this a bit useless.
