Automatic Phone-Locating Features

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Jacquard Smart Jacket Ensures You Always Have Your Phone

— December 10, 2018 — Tech
There are plenty of devices and features designed to ensure you never forget your phone, but Google and Levi's Jacquard smart jacket now has a function that that automatically ensures a smartphone is never left behind. Known officially as Always Together, the feature is an automatic alert that will go off if the jacket moves too far away from a phone. When triggered, notifications will happen on both the phone and the jacket's signature sleeve tag.

This new automatic feature is paired with the manual "find your phone" feature already included in the Jacquard smart jacket. The manual feature lets wearers assign a gesture command to the jacket, which when performed, would trigger the assigned smartphone to start ringing at full volume.
