Samsung 321 app adds contacts to LGUs

Samsung 321 app gets an update that includes a dedicated Local Government tab that contains more than 29,000 LGU contact details nationwide. The initiative aims to assist users with their needs related to their barangays.

Since last April, the Samsung 321 app introduced the COVID-19 hotline feature to help users with their concerns of emergencies related to the pandemic. With the latest update, it enables users to have access to their concerns that are barangay-specific. It uses reverse geocoding to detect the user’s current city and list all barangays, displaying the contact details accordingly. This includes quick access to valid emergency contact numbers such as Medical Assistance, Red Cross, Police Stations, Fire Stations, National Disaster Hotlines, Motor and Traffic Assistance, and now Local Government.

Users may call the available numbers through the app, applying standard rates for calls.

Samsung Galaxy users should enable the Samsung 321 app through the app’s welcome page or Settings, as well as the Apps tab of the Samsung device. The app is pre-installed on select Galaxy devices and can be downloaded on Android 5.0 and later devices.
