If locked in a closed room with an iPhone with only 1% battery remaining, what is the smartest thing to do? 3
The world of technology rotates like a pinwheel every day and every hour with a series of new things, just with a familiar personal smartphone, it is not certain that you will understand and discover all the features hidden deep inside.
For example, when you put yourself in a situation where you suddenly wake up and find yourself trapped in a strange room, stuck in there like a prey waiting to be `killed` and your phone only has 1% battery left, what will you do?
According to Austin, if you make a hypothesis to apply to yourself with the iPhone 7 Plus you are using at that time, the best way is to… press 5 times quickly, firmly and seamlessly on the iPhone power button.
Pressing the power button 5 times continuously is the gesture that activates the `Emergency SOS` mode that Apple sets for all users.
In case you trust others personally, you can completely choose a relative/friend’s phone number as a rescue representative so that the SOS feature can be contacted when an emergency activation command is issued.
How to add selected people to call SOS: Go to the default `Health` app > Select Medical ID settings > Select add contacts at the bottom.
Note: The way to activate SOS mode will be different from the iPhone 8 generation onwards.
– For iPhone 7/7Plus and earlier: Press and release the power button 5 times continuously, then the SOS notification panel will immediately appear.
– For iPhone 8 and later: Press and hold the power key + any volume key, hold still until the SOS prompt appears.
Don’t worry, there have been many cases where victims were saved in time thanks to this Apple feature.
