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.
