Apple's emergency help function is very practical. Take the iPhone 8/8 Plus or iPhone X as an example. When you are in danger, pressing the side and volume keys at the same time will activate the emergency help function. At this time, the phone will automatically Dial your local call and also send a location message to your pre-configured emergency contact.
How does the iPhone 7 and previous models activate the emergency call? You can quickly activate this function by clicking on the side key 5 times (5 times in India), then a slider will appear on the screen to call 911. On the Apple Watch, the way to make an emergency call is the Changan crown, without sliding the slider.
Although this is a great feature, iPhone and Apple Watch users are often mistakenly triggering alarms. For example, Jason Rowley, a foreign netizen, said on Twitter a few days ago that he was wearing an Apple Watch to check the quality of sleep, but he never expected that. At 1 a.m., the Sanming police suddenly rushed into his bedroom. The police said they received a warning message from Rowley's Apple Watch.
At the end of last month, the British "Daily Mail" also reported that the latest Apple Watch caused the user to accidentally call the police because of design flaws. To avoid this problem, the user can turn off the automatic emergency call function in the settings.
