An Apple feature that uses location services and voice activation to keep Asian Americans safe when they need it most.
When leaving your house, your iPhone will prompt you to turn on PAL and start tracking your route.
If it detects any anti-Asian language or slurs, PAL will automatically and discreetly start recording audio.
The audio evidence and location of the incident will be uploaded as a report to a secure database, instantly alerting the nearest police station and the organization Stop AAPI Hate.
The advocacy group will immediately send a representative to help the victim and, if needed, translate for them.
Finally, we’ll show the world the true scope of this crisis with our real time data that marks the location and time of these attacks on Apple Maps.
