How to call the Apple emergency contact?

I believe everyone has seen the popular national news "A 2-year-old girl in Yueqing was killed by a drip ride". At present, the young girl lost contact after sending a distress message on the way. After rapid investigation, the police finally arrested the suspect. After the incident, we were somewhat alert to the distress warning, and our first reaction when encountering personal danger was to call the police. But sometimes I can't call the police. What should I do? In fact, every brand of smart phone can set up emergency contacts. So how does the iPhone set up emergency contacts?

how to use SOS emergency contact function of iPhone

For iPhone users, emergency contacts need SOS emergency contact function, which has been introduced in iOS1 system for a long time, but it has not attracted much attention. So what is this function? It is this function that you can quickly call for help (such as 11 emergency call, 12 ambulance call and 119 fire call). Of course, we can add emergency contacts on IP. After adding, if we make an emergency call, iPhone will send it to your emergency contacts by SMS, including sending location information, which means that you have not started the location service and will track your location information. This function is still very practical.

so how to turn on the SOS emergency contact function on the iPhone is very simple. First of all, we fictionally update the iOS system to iOS11 and above (in fact, iOS1 can also use this function in theory, but the function is not perfect and perfect, so Xiaobian strongly recommends using iOS11 and above). It is worth mentioning that different devices have different methods to call out SOC emergency contact.

For Apple iPhone7Plus, iPhone7 or earlier models, we need to "press the power button for 5 consecutive times" to debug this function;

for iPhone8, iPhone8 Plus and iPhoneX, the calling method is "press and hold the side button and any volume button until the SOS emergency contact page appears", as shown in the above figure. After calling out, the above interface will be displayed, and then we can see this option in Settings ---SOS emergency contact, as shown in the following figure.

Of course, another device is Apple Watch. We just need to press and hold the power button to call it up quickly. We just need to connect the mobile phone or turn on the 4G network function when using Apple Watch for help.

first, after we enter the setting --SOS emergency contact option, click to enter the SOS interface, and you will see the following interface, as shown in the figure below.

We can turn on automatic calling, or add emergency contacts in health settings. After turning on the automatic call switch, after turning on the function, the mobile phone will automatically call for help only by activating the SOS emergency contact function, without sliding the slider. Just using this function, the countdown warning tone will be turned on by default, that is, the mobile phone sounds an alarm and counts down before asking for help. In some cases, it seems inappropriate for the mobile phone to sound an alarm, so Xiaobian does not recommend turning on this switch, or adding an emergency contact is more reliable.
