One of the functions that we have available with the Apple Watch in all its versions is that of the emergency call by pressing and holding the physical button under the crown. This is actually a very useful thing that is always good to keep in mind to use in emergencies. What we do is make a call to the emergency services when we leave the button pressed and this can be of great help in dangerous situations, although we hope you never have to use it, we teach you how to enable or disable this feature on your Apple Watch.
It comes active of origin in all Apple Watch
You can take the test if you want. Press and hold the physical button under the crown for a few seconds and you will see a countdown start from 5 seconds in which an alarm is emitted to warn us that we are making an emergency call. We can also configure directly in this same section the numbers to which we want our Apple Watch to notify at the time of the emergency. This is done by the Health app> Medical data, but when we click from the Watch section itself on "Edit emergency contacts" it takes us directly to the menu. For activate or deactivate this function we have to follow these steps:
- We open the Watch app on the iPhone
- Click on Emergency SOS
- We activate or deactivate the option «Press and hold the side button»
With these three steps we have the function activated or deactivated, that's how simple it is. In addition, in this section we can also activate or deactivate the Fall Detection option, so in this section we have several options. This is something simple and easy to remember in emergencies so it is good to keep in mind that we have this function available on the Apple Watch.
