How do I remove the “Get Help During an Emergency” notification badge on the Settings app?

Stupid question, but how do I remove the “Get Help During an Emergency” notification badge on the Settings app? I can’t even click on it, and the glaring red notification bugs me. Any information is appreciated, thank you in advance!

Found my solution on Reddit. I had deleted the Health app as bloatware when I set up my phone because I was using the Fitbit app.


Reinstalled the Health app, set it up, and the notification disappeared.

Probably you have removed all emergency Contacts from your Medical ID under the Health App



Add emergency contacts

  1. Open the Health app and tap your profile picture .
  2. Tap Medical ID.
  3. Tap Edit, then scroll to Emergency Contacts.
  4. Tap the Add button  to add an emergency contact.
  5. Tap a contact, then add their relationship.
  6. Tap Done to save your changes.

You can't set emergency services as an SOS contact.

Set up your Medical ID in the Health app



Remove emergency contacts

  1. Open the Health app and tap your profile picture .
  2. Tap Medical ID.
  3. Tap Edit, then scroll to Emergency Contacts.
  4. Tap the Delete button  next to a contact, then tap Delete.
  5. Tap Done to save your changes.

i originally had the health app deleted and when i switched devices after upgrading, it was giving me the notification to apply the settings but when i would click it, it wasn’t doing anything because i didn’t have the app. so i downloaded the health app again and went through the set up and the notification finally disappeared. so i think this issue is pertaining to people who may have deleted the app in your previous device, maybe not. i hope this helps either way.
