To turn off SOS on your iPhone, you first need to access the device's settings. Locate the "Settings" app on your home screen and tap on it to open.
Once you are in the Settings menu, scroll down until you find the "Emergency SOS" option. Tap on it to proceed to the SOS settings.
In the Emergency SOS settings, you will see an option labeled "Auto Call." This feature automatically dials emergency services when the side button and volume up button are pressed simultaneously. To turn off SOS, simply toggle off the "Auto Call" option.
If you prefer to keep the SOS feature enabled but want to customize the way it works, you can explore the additional options available in the Emergency SOS settings. Here, you can choose to disable or enable "Call with Side Button," "Countdown Sound," "Countdown Voice," and "Show When Locked."
After making your desired changes to the SOS settings, it is always a good idea to test them to ensure they are functioning as expected. Use caution when testing to avoid accidentally triggering a real emergency call.
No, currently there is no option to selectively disable sound and vibration alerts while keeping the emergency call functionality active. Disabling the "Auto Call" option will entirely prevent the automatic dialing of emergency services when the side and volume buttons are pressed simultaneously.
No, turning off the SOS feature will only disable the automatic emergency call function. You will still be able to manually dial emergency services using the Emergency SOS feature or by dialing emergency services directly.
Yes, you can re-enable SOS on your iPhone anytime by following the same steps mentioned earlier. Simply access the Emergency SOS settings and toggle on the "Auto Call" option if you wish to enable the automatic emergency call feature.
If you accidentally trigger the SOS feature, you can cancel it before the call is placed. On the Emergency SOS screen, you will see a red "X" button; tap on it, and a confirmation message will appear. Confirm the cancellation by tapping "Stop" to prevent the emergency call from being made.
