The Safety Check feature, used during last week’s attacks in Paris, will be offered by Facebook more regularly in the future.
In a disheartening reminder of how many lives have been lost in the past week, Facebook has activated its Safety Check feature in Nigeria, following a bombing that killed more than 32 people. Safety Check allows individuals located in areas where a disaster has occurred to quickly tell family and friends that they are safe, without making phone calls or sending text messages.
