My iPhone called 911 by itself

My iPhone located on my night stand literally just called 911 by itself , I was just woken up to my iPhone’s emergency alarm going off . I picked it up in a panic to turn off , only to hear “911 what is your emergency ?”

You mean all these (given below) happened automatically?


Call emergency services

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

  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.
