How to use Emergency SOS on the iPhone
You're walking through a parking lot, looking for your car, and you get a creepy feeling someone is watching you. If you need to call for help you may not have time to take your phone out of your pocket, enter the passcode or face ID, open the phone app and dial 9-1-1. But if you have an iPhone or an Apple watch, you can call police quickly without even touching the screen.
With an iPhone, use the on-off button. With the iPhone 8. X and 11, press it along with the volume button. Hold them down for 3 seconds. For iPhones 7 and older, quickly press the on-off button 5 times. It'll call up the emergency SOS screen. You can slide the button to make the emergency call, but if you just continue to hold down the buttons, it'll sound a very loud alarm and call 9-1-1.
It works on the Apple Watch too. Just press the bottom button, not the crown. If you continue holding it down it'll sound an alarm and call 9-1-1 in 5 seconds. Don't test it because the call will go through.
On Android devices there are a couple of options, depending on which phone you have. If you've got a passcode on your lock-screen, just slide up to see a button to make an emergency call. You'll have to touch your screen, but it's still faster than unlocking your phone and opening the phone app.
Heaven forbid you ever have to use this, but it's good to know you can. And be sure to tell your kids about it.
