In some countries and regions, you may have to choose the service that you prefer to keep under the Emergency SOS alert. For instance, if you’re an iPhone user in mainland China, you can choose services like Police, Fire, or Ambulance. As these are one of the most important services for anyone, you can also choose any of these services in other countries.
Meanwhile, you add emergency contacts as well for the Emergency SOS system. As we already mentioned, if you add emergency services or contacts, they will get a call from you. After the call ends, they will receive a text message containing your location. Additionally, if you enter the SOS mode periodically after enabling it, your emergency contacts will be notified of location changes.
- Press and hold the Side/Power button and one of the Volume buttons until the Emergency SOS slider emerges.
- Slide the Emergency SOS slider from left to right side to activate the feature.
- If you don’t want the Emergency SOS to automatically call emergency services or contacts when you slide the button, disable the auto call option.
- Go to the device Settings > Emergency SOS > Disable Auto Call.
