  • The Android earthquake detection system reportedly failed during a Turkish quake in February.
  • The BBC claims that no one received an alert before the first tremor.
  • Google insists that the system worked during the quake, though.

Google launched an earthquake detection system for Android phones back in 2020, giving people a few seconds’ notice before an earthquake strikes. Now, it sounds like this system may have failed during a quake in Turkey earlier this year.
