I need to completely remove the emergency call slider from my phone's shut down screen. How can I do this.

During general daily use, it should not typically be necessary to turn your Apple Watch off.

Rather than doing so, you may find it more convenient to place your Apple Watch on the charger when you are not wearing it.

Apple advises that Apple Watch can be charged whenever you like. The watch cannot be overcharged and the battery will not suffer any harm from regular charging. Charging will stop automatically when the battery is fully charged and start again if and when required due to ongoing battery usage.

Follow Apple's safety and handling instructions and also note that:

• It is not possible to turn the watch off whilst it is on the charger and connected to power - this is normal.
• It is also normal for your watch, power adapter and charging cable to become warm when connected to power.

Check your battery and charge your Apple Watch - Apple Support

Keep Apple Watch within acceptable operating temperatures - Apple Support

Hi

It is not currently possible to completely disable the Emergency SOS feature, such that the slider is removed from the screen that is shown when turning off Apple Watch.

To turn off the "hold to auto call" function (but not the slider-based function):

On your iPhone, in the Watch app, go to: My Watch > General > Emergency SOS - turn off Hold to Auto Call.
