The Emergency SOS feature on iPhone can be used to quickly call emergency services and notify your emergency contacts. Here are the steps to use this feature:

  1. Press and hold the side button and one of the volume buttons until the Emergency SOS slider appears.
  2. Drag the Emergency SOS slider to call emergency services. If you continue to hold down the side button and volume button, a countdown begins and an alert sounds.
  3. If you release the buttons, your iPhone automatically calls emergency services.
  4. If you have Auto Call enabled, your iPhone will automatically call emergency services after the countdown.
  5. After the call ends, your iPhone sends a message with your location to your emergency contacts, unless you cancel this option.

It is important to note that the Emergency SOS feature may not be available in all regions, and the steps to use it may vary based on your iPhone model and iOS version.
