Use Emergency SOS on your iPhone

With Emergency SOS in iOS 11 or later, you can quickly and easily call for help and alert your emergency contacts. 


Call emergency services

Here's how to make the call on iPhone 8 or later: 


You mean the following processes happen by itself.... (Think again)


  1. Press and hold the side button and one of the Volume buttons until the Emergency SOS slider appears. 
  2. Drag the Emergency SOS slider to call emergency services. If you continue to hold down the side button and Volume button, instead of dragging the slider, a countdown begins and an alert sounds. If you hold down the buttons until the countdown ends, your iPhone automatically calls emergency services.



If you use the Emergency SOS shortcut, you need to enter your passcode to re-enable Touch ID, even if you don't complete a call to emergency services.
