Smartphones are constantly in our pockets and for this reason they are often used as emergency devices. On the iPhone it is in fact possible to make one SOS call in a completely automatic way, obviously after a very simple input from the user. So today we will see how to activate the emergency functions e also add favorite contacts to notify in case of problems.
Set up emergency functions on iPhone
All emergency preferences can be changed from the system settings, while to add emergency contacts, you will need to use the app "Health" and create a digital medical record. But let's go in order and start with the settings.

By activating instead also "Call with the side key", the same operation will start once the iPhone power button has been clicked 5 times quickly and consecutively. If, on the other hand, you want to set up one or more contacts "Family members" emergency, in order to notify them automatically, just create a medical record.
