If you do not know, then pressing 5 consecutive times on the power button is the operation to activate the "SOS emergency" mode set by Apple. Once activated, the iPhone will immediately call the number of a loved one, rescue service or a competent agency that you have set up manually.

After the emergency call is over, the iPhone will send one more message along with all the data about the current location so the rescue team can follow. In the process, the iPhone will automatically turn on the location of the device even though it has been turned off before. In case, you move away from the original location, the iPhone will automatically recognize and send a second message notifying the new address.

To add the selected SOS emergency call, go to the default "Health" application -> select the Medical ID settings -> choose to add contacts at the bottom.

Note: Different iPhone generations will have different ways to activate SOS mode:

1. iPhone 7 / 7Plus and earlier: Press and release continuously 5 times the power button, SOS notification panel will appear.
2. iPhone 8 and later: Press and hold the power key + any volume key until the SOS indicator appears.

There have been many cases of users being saved thanks to Apple's "SOS emergency" feature so users should set up this useful feature on its devices to be able to use it when needed.
