Google Pixel’s Emergency SOS feature can be a huge help in an actual emergency. Rather than unlocking your phone and calling 911 by hand, you simply need to tap the power button five times in a row — ideal for situations where time is of the essence, or using your phone’s screen isn’t an option.
But the Emergency SOS feature does need to be set up, and there are various other settings you’ll need to be aware of. Including one that ensures you don’t end up calling 911 by mistake. Not setting these up ahead of time means the process will take longer in an actual emergency.
