In case of emergency, you can use iPhone or Apple Watch to quickly call or text for help.
If you choose to share your Medical ID, iPhone can send your medical information to emergency services when you call or text 911 or use Emergency SOS (U.S. only). To learn more about Medical ID, see Create a Medical ID in the iPhone User Guide.
Note: For emergency help in some areas, you can also send a text message to 911. In places that don’t offer this, you might receive a “bounce-back” message indicating that the text didn’t go through. See the Apple Support article Text 911 on iPhone or Apple Watch.
With Emergency SOS, you can quickly and easily call for help and alert your emergency contacts. Because of this, it’s important to make sure that the person or people assigned as emergency contacts are people you trust.
1.Go to Settings > Emergency SOS.
2.Do any of the following:
•Turn Call with Hold on or off: Press and hold the side and volume buttons to start a countdown to call emergency services.
•Turn Call with 5 presses on or off: Rapidly press the side button five times to start a countdown to call emergency services.
Emergency contacts can be set up so that if you call an emergency number, iPhone sends those contacts a notice that you’ve called for help, shares your location with those contacts, and notifies them if your location changes. If you previously added someone as an emergency contact and want to remove them, you can delete them.
To add or delete emergency contacts:
1.Open the Health app , then tap your profile picture.
2.Tap Medical ID.
3.Tap Edit, then scroll to Emergency Contacts.
4.Add or delete a contact.
1.On the Passcode screen, tap Emergency.

In case of emergency, use your iPhone to quickly and easily call for help and alert your emergency contacts (provided that cellular service is available). After an emergency call ends, your iPhone alerts your emergency contacts with a text message, unless you choose to cancel. Your iPhone sends your current location (if available) and—for a period of time after you enter SOS mode—your emergency contacts receive updates when your location changes.
Note: If you have iPhone 14 or later (any model), you may be able to contact emergency services through satellite if cell service isn’t available. See Use Emergency SOS via satellite on your iPhone.
