Security app

I've only started looking but I didn't know if anyone has experience with a physical security phone app? My church is trying to figure out a way to notify the team of health emergencies or suspicious individuals.
Thanks.

Group texts

Androids dont support group texting. That an Apple/iMessage thing. (wife complains about it all the time)

Damn. Sorry

There's 3rd party apps that you can use for group texts. I find that GroupMe works extremely well. It's available for both Android and iPhone.

Strange. I know I've sent and received multi-recipient texts on my Samsung S5.
You can even have a contact group for ease of adding all the recipients at once.

Perhaps this is limited by carrier, rather than platform?

it could also be when group text is originated on imessage and it has to fall back to SMS for droids. Wife has a group of friends with iphones. Her sister has a droid. Sister cant respond to all when she is included in the group chat.

Wife and I have Samsung s6 phones. Daughter, son and granddaughter have iPhones. We have no issues in either sending or receiving group texts. Neither does son, daughter or granddaughter.

Different cell phone providers are involved.

GroupMe is awesome. We use it for work for a similar purpose.

Don't now the hows, but do know my Dad, and brothers and I group text all of the time. One of us has iphone, the rest different Androids.

I was looking for something even faster then a txt. Open the app and a predefined set of buttons for common issues. The user clicks and it send the info, user and location out instantly. So the user can very quickly get the info out. Walky talkies seem to be the most common option still used these days. I wonder if this could be a market out there. Anyone know an app developer?

Not true about Android, it may a carrier thing but not Android.
