With Emergency SOS, you can quickly and easily call for help and alert your emergency contacts.
If SOS appears in your iPhone status bar, it means a cellular network is available for emergency calls. Learn more about the status icons and symbols on your iPhone.

For Android devices, the service is different. The Android SOS functionality will not call 911 for you, but the phone will capture photos and audio and send a text messages to up to four people whom you designate. But, you have to set all of this up before the emergency happens.
According to Tenorshare, a phone stuck in emergency SOS mode is likely due to someone trying to jailbreak their phone. Trying to bypass specific restrictions within the device can cause mistakes or system failures that make emergency mode activate.
In Morse Code, “SOS” is a signal sequence of three dits, three dats, and another three dits spelling “S-O-S”. The expression “Save Our Ship” was probably coined by sailors to signal for help from a vessel in distress.
Your phone won't make an emergency call. If you don't respond: Your phone will automatically turn on speakerphone, try to call emergency services, say that a car crash happened, and share your device's approximate location.
Here's how it works. Apple rolled out emergency SOS via satellite for iPhone 14 users on Tuesday. The service is free for two years with the newest iPhone model and allows you to text emergency services when you don't have cell service.
To help responders find you quickly, your phone's location can be sent when you dial or text an emergency number, like when you dial 911 in the US or 112 in Europe.
Your iPhone sends a text message to your emergency contacts once. The iPhone sends your current location, and your emergency contacts will receive updates when your location changes for a period of time after you enter SOS mode. This emergency SOS feature works on iPhone 8 or later versions.

The Safety Connect® system will display a green light by the SOS button, which indicates the service is active. If a red light is illuminated, there may be a problem with the vehicle hardware, and it should be brought to an authorized Toyota dealer.
In the event the button is accidentally pressed and the vehicle's occupants are safe and able to respond, they can push the button again to cancel or have the operator end the call, and no emergency personnel will be dispatched.

The green light indicates that Safety Connect® is turned on. The Safety Connect® system's green light should be illuminated on all newly-purchased vehicles before you leave the dealership.
Flashlight. A night in the woods can be scary, but if you have a flashlight, you can use it to signal SOS via Morse code. Flash the light three times rapidly, then slowly for another three times, and then rapidly for three seconds once more.
The SOS light should always be a solid steady light (you cannot turn it off). But the SOS light will flash to warn you that there is a problem. It is designed to only flash when there is a red zone/low battery warning.
