the Android earthquake alerts system It is an supplementary service that uses Android phones to estimate earthquake vibration and provide early warnings for users. It is not designed to replace any official warning systems or other general warning systems. On February 14, our system discovered signals from the devices near the Sao Paulo coast and caused an earthquake for users in the region. We immediately disabled the alert system in Brazil and currently achieved what happened. We apologize to our users for inconvenience and remain committed to improving our tools.
