Google has added another layer to “Emergency SOS” to prevent accidental emergency calls from being made to first responders.
Back in April, we told you that the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) department issued a tweet warning Android users about accidental emergency calls being made which were tying up the OPP switchboard. Tapping on the power button five times or more in a row on many Android phones will call emergency services, share information with them, and record a video. The cops asked Android users to toggle off the feature by going to > > . Toggle off . This “Emergency SOS” feature is toggled on by default.However, you might be upset that you disabled this feature when caught in an emergency situation and you probably won’t have the time to toggle the feature back on.
