Do You Carry An iPhone? Be Aware Of Safety Features That Come In Handy In An Emergency There is no doubt that Apple devices have very advanced technology. Due to these technologies, the user experience is better and relief can be found in various problems.
Perhaps you must have heard the news that some users’ lives have been saved due to Apple’s technology. Apple is improving such features in every new product. Some examples of such features are fall detection, emergency SOS, heart rate, ECG, etc.
These features will not be used until the user has a problem. However, it is good to know what these features are and how to take advantage of them. Today we will discuss some of the security features of the iPhone and iWatch:
Emergency SOS
During difficult situations, users can get emergency help by using the Emergency SOS feature. Through this feature, the call goes to the local emergency number. In addition, your location is also shared. This emergency number may vary from country to country.
To use this feature, you need to quickly press the side button of the iPhone three times. Apart from this, you can also choose from the options that come up by tapping the side button for a while. Or you can also swipe right/left (can be placed by yourself) while calling.
Crash detection
As the name suggests, the function of this feature is to identify accidents. This feature can be found in iPhone 14 and later models of Apple Watch Series 8. According to Apple, in the event of a car accident, with the help of this feature, the iPhone or Apple Watch automatically calls the emergency number. Before making a call, the alarm sounds, and the countdown of the call starts.
Emergency number
Another feature in the iPhone for security is the emergency number. Users can put different numbers in it. For this, you have to go to ‘Emergency SOS’ through the settings. There, users can put their own phone numbers.
Satellite support in emergency SOS
Apple has also provided satellite support for Emergency SOS. That is, even if your phone does not have a Wi-Fi or cellular connection, you can send an emergency message or call. This feature is only available on iPhone 14 and 15. This feature can be very useful especially when going to remote places.
