To turn off Emergency SOS on your iPhone, follow these steps:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Scroll down and tap Emergency SOS.
- Toggle off the options such as Call with Hold and Release , Call with 5 Button Presses , and Call After Serious Crash to disable Emergency SOS activation methods
You can also ask Siri to turn off Emergency SOS by saying, "Hey Siri, turn off Emergency SOS"
. If your iPhone is stuck in SOS mode after activation, try these troubleshooting steps:
- Restart your iPhone by powering it off and on again
- Toggle Airplane mode on and off.
- Turn cellular data off and back on.
- If the problem persists, contact Apple Support for further assistance
For Android or Samsung devices, the process is similar but found under Settings > Safety and Emergency > Emergency SOS, where you can toggle the feature off to prevent accidental calls
. This disables the automatic emergency call feature but be aware that disabling Emergency SOS removes a potentially lifesaving function, so consider keeping it enabled unless accidental activation is a concern
