I activated Incident Detection (ID) a couple of weeks ago, and since then it has activated twice. Once whilst calmly walking my dog down the road recording a walking activity, and on a second occasion whilst not recording an activity and being asleep. On both occasions it stated an alert was sent to my contacts tracking my location.
Not only where both occasions false positives, but even if they had been genuine incidents, nothing was sent to my contacts. So clearly the feature is useless.
However, not only is it useless, but it seems impossible to turn off incident detection but keep Assistance, so it's actually making another useful feature unusable too. The reason for this is there is no option to disable Incident Detection (why?), all you can do is disable it for individual activities, which seem like a stupid decision. So the only way to get ID to show as disabled was to remove my emergency contacts, and I needed it to show as disabled as it last triggered when not recording an activity.
Do the devs know how utterly useless and unreliable this feature is?
