Apple launched the iOS 16.3 Beta 2 version to developers this week. At present, it seems that it is only a few detail function updates, but one of the noteworthy changes is that Apple has slightly adjusted the operation method of the "SOS Emergency Service".

Many people have used the iPhone for many years, and may not know how to activate the SOS emergency function. Apple provides two methods: "press and hold to talk" and "press and hold 5 times to talk". Entering the SOS emergency mode, not only will the alarm sound, you can call for help directly or after 8 seconds countdown, such as 110 or 119.

Foreign media 9to5mac reported that Apple renamed Call With Hold to "Call With Hold And Release" in iOS 16.3 Beta 2.

According to the official description, it means that when you press and hold the call, you no longer just press and hold it. After the countdown is over, "release the button" will call the SOS emergency service.

It is currently uncertain whether the adjustment is just a test by Apple, or whether it has been confirmed and the applicable countries. We will not know until the official version of iOS 16.3 is released.

What’s more, Apple has added a car accident detection function to the iPhone 14 series, but it often causes misjudgment. Although Apple has updated it in the follow-up to improve its accuracy, this function has caused considerable confusion among American disaster relief workers so far. complain.
