I activated my SOS on my watch and it notified 911 and the emergency contacts I listed.

My problem is the emergency contacts are now receiving updates as to where I am via text.

How do I stop this?

Apple Watch and Emergency bypass problem Hi I have a number of contacts set up with emergency bypass, on the phone I have these contacts set within each focus option to allow notifications. This works fine when I do not have my Apple Watch turned on but once I have the watch switched on, I no longer get notified on the iPhone, all I get is a single bleep on the apple watch. I have wiped the watch and reset but that still doesn't solve it. I also recently updated both the watch and phone to the latest OS, I am sure this is when the problem started.

I accidentally called 911 on my Apple Watch I accidentally called 911 on the Apple Watch. They notified my emergency contacts. All day today anytime I traveled to a new location, all of my contacts receive a notification: Emergency SOS The approximate location of Otter has changed. And it shows a map of my location. How do I turn it off/stop it? Yes I have turned off my Apple Watch on and off a couple times to no avail.
