The iPhone comes with a simple gesture that will let you call for emergency services as soon as you need help - here's how to do it.
How do I get emergency help on my iPhone?
The last thank you to @apple, their side button 5 click to emergency services -especially great when your screen is constantly being dripped on, & to the service provider for giving me 3G connection and 3% battery 5m below the ice🤯. The alternative to this has been keeping me up at night to say the least.The “side button 5 click” is the iPhone emergency gesture that can save your life.
Pressing five times on the side button of the iPhone will work on any device, not just yours. That means a stranger’s iPhone will do fine. You just have to remember the emergency gesture, and you’ll be able to proceed with your call. However, you will need a cellular connection to make it happen.The second iPhone emergency gesture
But another gesture will deliver similar results. On iPhone 8 or later, press and hold the side button and one of the volume buttons, and you’ll get the same emergency menu as when pressing the side button five times.
