How can I prevent Accidental Emergency Call activation on my iPhone?

Hi everyone, I’m not sure why the Emergency Call keeps triggering on my phone and it counts up when I’m not aware of it.

Today again I found out it has been counting up for 6 hours! Does it mean that Ive been on the line with emergency service for 6 hours?? But the phone is not in calling mode or anything.


Thanks, this is quite annoying.

See if anything in this fairly comprehensive article might help:


Make an emergency call or text on iPhone or Apple Watch – Apple Support (AU)


Regret the lack of replies so far.


Unfortunately — unlike many questions posed to this community — members (fortunately) have little (if any) personal experience actually using this feature.


It’s also difficult for members to take on a “test drive” so as to realistically experiment.


Hopefully the linked article might help.
