Since February 2016, an app, called MyShake, has been available for detecting earthquakes by using the phones' on-board accelerometers. The app filters out the standard movements and can recognize earthquakes. If it detects a quake it reports it to a central server, combining the information from many mobile phones and gives advice on what to do.
