iPhone stuck in emergency mode

I accidentally got my iPhone XR into Zoom and also the Emergency mode. I have the new IOS 15 Installed. If I push the volume and side buttons, the phone will not shut off. It goes to Medical ID and Emergency SOS sliders combination. If I slide up on the screen, it goes to a screen asking for my phone pass code. It only shows a keyboard with letters. I have numbers in addition to letters in my passcode. I tried to scan a sheet with my passcode, but it kept repeating the passcode, so that I could not sign in. Then I tried sliding from the right hand upper corner. If I select an App, the screen requesting my passcode appears. How do I get out of this state?

Thank you. I also found out that the phone can be restarted by hitting volume up, volume down, and then holding the side button. The phone then opens in the default mode.

Hi Kelvinband,

Thank you for participating in the Apple Support Communities. We understand your iPhone is stuck in Zoom and Emergency mode, and we'd like to assist. To turn off Zoom, double-tap the screen with three fingers. After that, you should be able to cancel Emergency SOS.

Take care.
