How does Emergency SOS work?
If you find yourself in an emergency, your Apple 14 or Apple 14 Pro device Automatically pings one of Globalstar’s 24 low orbit satellites. Once the satellite receives the signal, it sends information to one of its ground stations, which then routes the call to a local dispatch center or relay center. Relay centers have third-party, highly trained Apple specialists who have been trained in emergency protocol to contact police dispatchers and relay information back and forth.
How do I activate Emergency SOS on my device?
The emergency SOS function should only be activated in the event of a real emergency so as not to alert the local police to a false incident. However, there is a demo feature for users to familiarize themselves with the process when not in an emergency situation.
HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR IPHONE IS LISTENING TO YOU
To try the demo, make sure you are outside and go to Settings > Emergency SOS > Demo Mode.
If you are in a real emergency and have no cellular Wi-Fi, the function will automatically appear on your screen when you try to dial 911. It appears as a green function in the lower right corner, and it will read Satellite emergency text. You will also notice a satellite icon and SOS text in the upper right corner of your screen next to your battery.

Once you click on the green button, a short questionnaire will appear on your screen that you must answer so that the function can better understand the type of help you need.
Your answers are then quickly transmitted to dispatchers so they can know your situation and location and send help immediately. The questions are as follows.
Once you have answered all the questions, your iPhone will go to a follow-up screen which will ask you point your phone to one of the Globalstar satellites. It will guide you in the right direction, and once your device locates one of the satellites, all of your questionnaire information is transmitted to the local dispatcher along with your location, altitude, iPhone battery level, and Medical ID if you have already activated it on your phone.
