LivWell Spotlight: iPhone safety features

LIFESTYLE

Safety features on the iPhone

Our LivWell Spotlight series focuses on how health and technology overlap, covering ways to improve wellness with the right tools.

The iPhone offers safety features that can help save your life.

To set up the features, go to Emergency SOS under your phone’s settings.

You’ll see two options, Call with Hold and Call with 5 Presses:

Call with Hold is a quick way to make an emergency call. The phone says, “If you press and hold the side buttons, the Emergency SOS slider appears. If you continue to hold them, a countdown begins and an alert sounds. When the countdown ends, iPhone calls emergency services.”

Call with 5 Presses is another way to send an alert. The phone says, “Rapidly pressing the side button five times starts a countdown and sounds an alert. When the countdown ends, iPhone calls emergency services.”

If you scroll down you’ll see a space for Emergency Contacts to alert others if you need help. There is also a Countdown Sound option which plays a warning sound while Emergency SOS is counting down to call emergency services.

That’s how to use your iPhone’s safety features.
