Reasons to Turn Off SOS

SOS is a useful feature, but sometimes it is better and safer for you to turn it off.

Here are a few reasons why you might want to turn it off occasionally:

• False alarms caused by children. A series of quick button presses will activate SOS, and you certainly do not want that to happen. Turn off the setting to avoid these situations.
• Tight pockets. It may sound strange, but if you put your iPhone in a tight pocket, it can be easy to activate Emergency SOS as you walk, sit or stand.
• You are doing something potentially dangerous. Riding the dodgems at a funfair? This could confuse your iPhone into thinking an accident has happened. Turn off the feature to avoid this confusion.
