Somewhat off the subject of this post, but I believe we lost something when calling for help stopped being as simple as grabbing at the wall and punching a couple buttons. What are children supposed to do these days to call 911 or 999?
- Allezxandre 4y agoOn iOS, just hold the button you would use to turn the phone off, but hold longer, it will loudly count down to 0 and call emergency services. You can also press the side button 5 times and it will call without you having to hold the button pressed. Works on iPhone and Apple Watch.

- jdsully 4y agoPress and hold doesn’t work if you have Siri enabled.
- Allezxandre 4y agoIt does, just hold the buttons you would hold to turn the phone off, not the button you would use to trigger Siri. On FaceID phones that means holding both the Lock and Volume Up buttons.
- dankwizard 4y agoAnd as well, if the FaceID doesn't work & the PIN is prompted for, "Emergency" is available in the bottom left.
- the_only_law 4y agoFunny enough, my current phone is absolute garbage, and I've managed to accidentally call 911 multiple times because the phone will simply fail to render the lock screen at times, but all controls are still active.
