There is a trick on both Android and iOS that allows you to notify the emergency services with your mobile phone by simply touching the power button on your mobile phone 5 times. That’s how it works.

In an emergency situation, the most important thing is to react quickly.

A timely call to emergency services can mean the difference between a tragic situation or one that ends positively. And now, thanks to technology, you can react practically at the speed of light to alert you of any emergency.

As? Well, it’s as simple as pressing the power button on your phone 5 times.

Yes, as you read it. Something as simple and fast as this simple action makes you automatically call 112 so that you can hear what is happening, the call is geolocated and help is sent if necessary.

As you can imagine, it is something that you have to activate on your device, but it’s really easy and you can do it on both iOS and Android with its nuances.

In the case of iPhone, you must enter Settings > Emergency SOS and here activate the option Call by pressing the button 5 times. This will make a countdown starts and an audible alarm is also activated before the device calls emergencies.

In addition to this option, the iPhone offers 2 more ways.

One that responds to Call by holding and releasing which will call emergency services if you hold the side button and the volume up button for about 10 seconds, and the other which responds to Call discreetly which leaves aside the audible alert in case you don’t want to alert a possible aggressor of what you are doing.

In the case of Android, you must activate the option SOS Emergency that is inside Settings > Security and Emergency. Like the iPhone, it will start a countdown and start sounding an alarm before making the automated call. There is also a discreet mode that will not make any sound in case you don’t want to attract attention.
