Hold for three seconds. We send for help.

ELA is a membership for UAE residents. If you’re arrested, one hold on your iPhone or Apple Watch tells a vetted law firm, your consulate and your family.

What happens when you hold.

Press and hold the disc. You don’t type anything, call anyone, or explain.

A countdown starts. It sends on its own.

If the moment passes, slide “I’m safe” and nothing happens. If you can’t, ELA sends.

“Send help now” sends at once.

Your consulate is informed.Your consulate’s emergency desk gets the case brief.
Your family gets a private live link.Live location, each milestone, the acting lawyer’s name. Sent only to the people you chose.

They see where you are, and who is acting for you.

“Your lawyer has made contact.”

ELA Ops sends that message in the app’s case thread. From the hold to your lawyer’s first contact, the case never waits on your phone.

Phone locked, dead, or taken: it still runs.

Once the hold commits, the response runs on ELA’s servers, not on your phone. Your case brief, location and profile are already with the response team, and every step after is tracked there.
