Once you’ve set up the alert system on your smartphone, you’ll receive updates about earthquakes happening nearby. However, keep in mind that this alert system activates only for earthquakes of 4.5 magnitude or higher and does not work for lower-intensity quakes.
Every Android smartphone is equipped with an accelerometer, which functions similarly to a seismometer. This sensor detects vibrations and sends alerts to users when an earthquake is sensed.
