Activating SOS on Apple Watch

Every now and then, we hear stories of how Apple devices have helped save people's lives. One feature that few may be aware of, is the ability to contact emergency service via an SOS mode which can be activated on an Apple Watch, and soon, your iPhone.

Local EMS is then contacted.

In addition, you can also add your own personal emergency contacts, allowing them to receive a text message when SOS has been activated. Emergency contacts can be added using the Watch or Health app on your iPhone.
