Everyone who owns an iPhone should know how to access this feature!

why is the “power off” on the same screen? if you accidentally hit that instead of SOS, you’re screwed.

thank you for this, i go for runs around my neighborhood a lot, so its good to have this knowledge in case i come across any danger

Anyone else here after the Sarah Everard case?

If you own a Android, Holding the power button should open a Emergency button. It's cool how the companies started adding emergency buttons and shortcuts for their OS/Smartphone

You forgot to mention some things that are actually quite important to know. On iPhones without a home button: - you can enable direct Emergency call with 5 clicks on the side button (skipping the slider thing) - you can toggle the countdown sound (while holding the side button and the volume button) on/off depending on your preferences. If I’m not wrong, the default for this is ON. So keep it in mind and understand the risks of having such a thing enabled, thinking of all the different situations in which you could NOT want to have someone around you know you’re calling emergency services.

Thank you for sharing. It’s good to know.

Would that emergency service call also appear on your ‘recent calls’ list on your iPhone?

thank you!

when u need to watch 6 minutes to find 2 buttons...

Thank you so much as a Type 1 Diabetic was wondering how emergency services or ambulance drivers would access my medical ID ? Used to be a green button on the locked screen long ago which was easy for anyone to see if you where unconscious. Wish apple would bring this back, would feel much, much safer

Pressed it accidentally thought I clicked screenshot but bruh it started beeping early in the morning probably good to call 911 cuz that made my heart dropped my parents are in the side of a thin wall...

Who else came here for the sound?

Excellent title with NO DEMONSTRATION of the feature. A tutorial, yes, but the title does read “Emergency SOS iPhone - Demonstration”. A demonstration would have been nice. Otherwise use a title that accurately describes your content, otherwise you’re clearly using it for “click bait” to get more views.

Nice. I like it on iPhone 6. Where I just push one button many times than the new iPhones where you have hold two buttons.

Is it not volume down button and on/off button?

I have accidently turned on and called to emergency number. But i cannot turn off this what can i do?

Thank you.but what to do when I accidentally pressed sos :( my iPhone is now locked. I can’t open anything in my phone.thank you

I had my iPhone in my pocket, and I had my AirPods in my ear. My father started talking to me, so I tried to turn down the volume… turns out I was pressing the power button, and I accidentally called the cops. Almost did the same thing again. Today, I had a dream that it happened again, but in my dream the cop told me to turn it off by the settings. I woke up and turned off the 🆘. Crazy how my dream told me how to turn it off, and I didn’t even know…

Not only does it call emergency services of this might be updated… I have the iPhone 13. It also makes an emergency sound so your iPhone… Very loud.

You should show how to set up and view Emergency info

Emergency number for the area you’re in?? Is 911 different in other states???

Whoever starts a ‘how to emergency’ video with an intro and music should be called an accomplice in someone’s murder or accident 😂

I accidentally pressed it and I hung up when it called 911

Recently walked through a sketchy neighborhood at night completely alone and actually somehow accidentally activated the sos alarm with my leg while my phone was in my pocket (?), scared the shit out of me

Ok so I have a question, but first I need to explain the scenario I was in. Sorry I’m advance cause this will be a lot of text. Ok so my phone had for some reason started lagging real bad, the screen was entirely frozen and there was no sound coming out even though I had turned it on and all. In order get it fixed o tried several things, holding down the side button, exiting the app I was using by tapping the home button and so on. Eventually I tried a trick my mom had found by searching on how to turn of the phone in cases like these, only it didn’t work either (I was supposed to push one of the volume buttons fast three times and then holding down the side button) so I initially thought I did it wrong and tried holding in the sound and side button together. And this is where I made my mistake. I managed to by mistake call sos alarm by doing this, but I could neither hear nor see anything f, the only thing giving it away was that the phone started to vibrate when I did this, so I released the buttons and took a screenshot (I don’t know why since the screen was frozen but it was as if the phone still answered to some commands despite this so I thought maybe “behind” the screen everything still worked as it should) and then just waited. I couldn’t really do anything since nothing I did made the phone go back to normal again, the only thing I could do was wait for the battery to run out which luckily wasn’t long after. When it was out of energy the phone finally shot itself down so I plugged it into the cable and waited for it to restart. When I had enough energy I managed to restart in without hiccups. Later when I checked my photo album I saw the screenshot I had taken and it was a screenshot of that red sos alarm circle that you slide, a “turn of the phone” circle as well as a cancel button, just like how he showed here. How this picture was taken even though the screen was frozen I don’t know. But here’s my question: do I have to actually pull/slide the sos alarm circle to make the call or does it make the call anyway? Cause I never touched the screen while doing this and since the picture showed the sos and the “shut down the phone” circles I figured maybe I didn’t call anyone after all. This “call” was by pure accident and since I not only was unable to see nor hear anything of what the phone did “behind the screen” as well as it had so little battery there was very little I was able to do. If the sos circle must switched then that’s great cause try at would mean I didn’t call anyone but if not than I’m really worried if what to do since I don’t know I called anyone or not.

When you slide it does it do a countdown?

Hello, I’m legally blind and use voice over on my iPhone 12. My phone always says “SOS in Progress.” How do I stop it from doing that without calling 911?

Bro this feature scared my pants off I called emergency services I’n my sleep it was quite the wake up

Can i ask you something what happenes when you call it without a SIM card because I accidentally called it twice today...

Is there anything like this for Android phones?

that intro music is used to blow up some dirty buds

Thanks

Does it work on iPads ?

Can you use emergency SOS(on cellular) without a plan?

when i hold my power button down the only slider that pops up is the power off mine doesn’t show the emergency sos option. can someone please help? i have the iphone se 2020 btw

Should you turn on share my location?

I reccomend to add a password to your phone to easily call the cops as when you're typing your phone password then there will be a emergency SOS button on the bottom right of your screen.

You talked about yourself more than the sos itself

💥✨💥 3:43 voiceover.?? Double tap.?? Sorry but I didn’t understand any of those parts. Thanks for the great video.

how do i turn it off i had to have siri power off my phone my daughter accidentally called 911 and phone was stuck on sos

It's a feature you hope you'll never have to use, but I always keep it on, I hope others do too

Press the home button 5 times works on all the iPhones, not only the iPhone 7 and earlier, but ALL and EVERY iPhone.

Oh on

What would you do if you have a fall and cannot get to your phone 📲

Video starts at 2.00

Tanzania

I accidentally got stuck on the switch control (sliding etc) and I accidentally slid it halfway and stopped it on the 7, I got a notification

Don't own an iPhone, but i do have an android. Emergency Mode is just as bad. Imagine you're stuck in a home invasion, hiding under the bed when: ... ... ... *aaAAaaAAaaAA*

Do not let go if you acdenly press it

video is lagging behind the sound

or you could just click power off button 5 times fast

I called the emergency services 2 times today 😭 I had to turn this feature off lol

My wife keeps calling 911 by accident. How do I disable this buttons so she can just call them the old fashioned way? HELP!!~!!!!!!

You’re gonna want to update this video since it’s been changed as of today January 23rd 2023 with iOS 16.3

Real apple fans find it annoying but it is spelled iPhone X but it’s pronounced iPhone T E N

You don't need to press two buttons on 8 and newer, you can also press the sleep button 5 times 🤦‍♀️

I accidentally pressed it but I canceled it quickly

Having an android phone where calling for SOS is really basic Just tap the Emergency call on the lock screen No shortcut, no sound, no location sending Nothing And people say android is better than iOS ? I doubt that

Sos calling

Samsung kinda faster u just click power 3 times

It’s cool until you accidentally trigger it. Thank God for the countdown and siren so I had time to cancel it before it dialed. Then I turned off the feature in the settings so it doesn’t happen again. 😳

Bro what about ipad I guess apple dose not care about us

3:04 3:59

Until a person tries to do that, a kidnapper would take the phone

Djamal “Malakai”

I accidentally called emergency sos in French class

As if only iPhone has this feature 😂

TO SOS

All' anm e kitemmuort

Apple watch

I think if you spam the power button 5 times it activates a countdown

Are you the gay guy from modern family?

I disagree it’s horrible!

It would have been nice to go through the whole process. Now I know you did not want to call, but did you know that if you called ahead of time and explained what you were trying t9 do, the dispatcher would gladly go through the whole process with you and that would,d have made it a real cool video. After all we are all here to help save a life. Try it, call 9-1-1, tell them who you are, and what you are trying to do, and then say I’ll call in x minutes give them time to set it up, and for you to get set up. Record the whole thing. And the just say wow that is going to be an awesome video. You know, I was a paramedic for 33 years, (now I’m retired but still active) and part of that was volunteering to man the 9-1-1 dispatchers chair when someone needed time off longer than their allowance. And I had to coach many on what to do and how to do it to save a life. Good job! 👏👍👏👍👏
