It’s known that Manzana is always looking for innovations that can improve the functions of the mobile device with the user. Among them, there is a function that few know and that is not only one of the most useful that said operating system has, but it can save the lives of those who use it. The best thing is that it is not necessary to download any third-party application, since it will only be necessary to have the mobile device updated.
Usually this feature is enabled by default; however, in some cases this is not the case, so in this note we will explain step by step how to activate it permanently.

The emergency function of the iPhone
This shortcut exists on all current iPhones and allows you to directly call any local emergency number or numbers configured as trusted contacts, whenever you feel in danger.
As if that were not enough, it will also allow the current location in which we are to be sent to the people we have previously designated.
To access this function you simply have to press and hold the side lock button and the volume button, although you can also activate an option so that you call automatically by pressing the lock button five times consecutively.
