How do I adjust impact sensitivity in the Tether app?
You can adjust your impact sensitivity to control how easily Tether detects sudden movements or potential incidents. Here's how you can do it:
- Open the Tether app
- Go to your Profile
- Tap Settings
- Select Impact Sensitivity
- Use the slider to adjust your preference:
- Slide toward Less Sensitive → fewer alerts
- Slide toward More Sensitive → more responsive detection
- Save your changes
Impact sensitivity controls how the app responds to sudden movements, such as:
- Drops or impacts
- Sudden changes in motion
- Potential emergency events
How to choose the right setting
- Move the slider toward More Sensitive if you want maximum responsiveness
- Keep it in the middle range for balanced performance (recommended)
- Move it toward Less Sensitive to reduce false alerts
Important to know
Impact sensitivity may vary slightly depending on your phone model, including factors such as:
- Device hardware and accelerometer sensitivity
- Phone manufacturer settings
- Operating system version (iOS/Android)
- Software optimizations and motion detection behavior
Because of this, some devices may detect impacts differently than others. If you are receiving too many alerts or not enough detection, try adjusting the sensitivity slider to find the best balance for your device and activity level.
