iPhone stuck in SOS mode

My phone is stuck displaying a screen saying "Your emergency contacts have been notified" and I can't figure out how to stop it... What do I do?

Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).
