Google has introduced an air raid alerts system for android phones in Ukraine. The new feature is the tech giant’s latest update on the response to the Russian ongoing invasion of Ukraine.
“Tragically, millions of people in Ukraine now rely on airstrike alerts to try to get to safety. At the request, and with the help of the Ukraine government, we’ve started notifying rapid air raid alerts for Android phones in Ukraine,” said Kent Walker, the president of global affairs at Google, in a blog post on Thursday.
Walker said the feature is supplemental to Ukraine’s existing air raid alert systems and is based on alerts already being delivered by the Ukrainian government.
In the same blog post, Google also announced that it will continue its work to limit recommendations for a number of Russian state-funded media outlets across its platforms.
