Hey guys, David and David here from Payette Forward and in this video we're going to explain
Emergency SOS, a new iOS 11 feature that makes it really easy for you to contact emergency
services.
Yep.
So if you're in trouble Apple's made it very easy to get help.
So let's take a look in the Settings app on your iPhone and then tap Emergency SOS and
they're a little instructions here at the top and it says rapidly click the sleep/wake
button five times to quickly call emergency services.
Well, let's let's give it a go.
Right one, two, three, four five.
There we go.
Great.
So this is the default screen that pops up and you may have seen this if you just tap
the power button right on your iPhone.
Um, you can see medical ID, which would go to your medical ID, but you've already said
it right and we have a video about that video or playlist show you how to set up medical
ID.
And then if you swipe the Emergency SOS slider, you're gonna call the local emergency services,
right?
And that's what's really great about this feature is that it will call the local emergency
number wherever you are in many countries all over the world.
So if you're traveling right and it right you don't know if you're in China for instance,
so it's a little bit different.
So when you swipe your going to get to uh choose when I want to call police or ambulance
or fire, right?
Uh, but in the us where we are, it's just Cohen emergency services and then take it
from there.
Yeah.
Now we really want to talk about this Auto call feature.
This is going to be interesting a lot of people because I scared the Jesus out of myself by
having this on in an airport.
So, uh what Auto call does let's turn that on you'll know it's on which is green.
And now when you tap the power button five times just is you know, turn down the volume
on your computer I have this is your warning turn down the volume.
So let's go ahead and do it.
One two, three, four five.
Holy crap.
Okay, so tap stop and then stop calling stop and then stop calling you only got three seconds
to do that.
So right so, you know be aware.
So I was in the airport.
I just got off a plane.
California and I was holding my iPhone walking through the airport.
Apparently I had this enormous tick that I didn't know about.
Um, and I had been writing about this feature on the plane.
So I turned on auto call not really thinking about it.
I'm tapping my iPhone in the alarm goes off as I'm walking, you know past McDonald's in
the airport and fortunately I was able to stop the call in time, but I was not expecting
that alarm to go off right and it scared, you know scared.
So we really want you to know about one more thing we want you to know about is the countdown
sound you do have the option to turn that that beeping sound off and we've really recommend
that you don't I know, you know, your kid takes her phone taps iPhone power button five
times you're done and you may not even know you call the emergency services.
So what happens if you accidentally Duke, all right.
So what's say you act call them don't hang up, right?
Yeah, if you hang up they're gonna send people to you because they will assume that something's
horribly wrong, right?
Um, however, if you just tell them hey, I accidentally called and I'm using sorry using
this new future.
Yep, everything's gonna be okay.
They're gonna say thank you for letting me know right no harm.
No foul.
Exactly.
Everyone's safe.
Yeah just don't hang up.
So we definitely recommend keeping the countdown sound on.
What do you think about Auto call ya oughta call is kind of dangerous.
I would leave that turned on because then it's just one more swipe that call them have
a kid or something or just anybody that's has access to your iPhone.
That doesn't know how this feature works and they tap the power button five times then
all of a sudden showing up in the phone's going off alarms.
It's like I have it off on my phone.
If it's off tap the power button five times you swipe the slider if you need help and
you're done, so it's not like it's a difficult if Otto is turned off.
So that is Emergency SOS.
It really does make it super simple for people.
If you're an emergency tap the power button five times.
You can call 911 or the local emergency services and they'll help you out.
