You can change the setting in iOS 16 so that holding the side button on your iPhone won’t call emergency services automatically. Here’s how:
- Open Settings: Locate and open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Navigate to Emergency SOS: Scroll down and tap on “Emergency SOS”.
- Toggle Off: Find the “Call with Hold and Release” option and switch it off. If you turn off this setting, you can still use the Emergency SOS slider to make a call.
By turning off this feature, you can avoid accidental emergency calls triggered by accidentally pressing the buttons
