There are many safety features baked into the device to help you in the event of an unfortunate situation, whether it&#8217;s when you feel unsafe, are lost, were in a car crash, or suffered a medical emergency.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these features are enabled by default, like emergency satellite SOS, which works with iPhone 14 or later allowing you to text emergency services even if you&#8217;re off the grid with no Wi-Fi or cellular connection. It&#8217;s free for two years and requires a clear view of the sky to work automatically once you try to make a call in an emergency situation. Another feature that&#8217;s on by default on supported iPhones and Apple Watches is Crash Detection, perhaps one of the Apple Watch safety features you maybe didn&#8217;t realize existed. It will sound an alarm for 10 seconds, then contact emergency services on your behalf if a severe crash is detected.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But other features need to be manually enabled to work. As with any precautionary measure, you don&#8217;t want to let these sit on your &#8220;to-do&#8221; list only to realize it&#8217;s too late and you missed a valuable, potentially critical tool just when you needed it. A quick check through the settings of your phone will help you verify if the most useful emergency features are ready to go.<\/p>\n<p>           &#8230;<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2187785\/emergency-features-to-enable-on-iphone-before-its-too-late\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 Emergency Features To Enable On Your iPhone Before It&#8217;s Too Late https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/2187785\/emergency-features-to-enable-on-iphone-before-its-too-late\/ Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":268407,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.bgr.com\/img\/gallery\/5-emergency-features-to-enable-on-your-iphone-before-its-too-late\/l-intro-1780602405.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[120],"tags":[132],"class_list":["post-268406","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-iphone","tag-iphone-14"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268406"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=268406"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268406\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":268408,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/268406\/revisions\/268408"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/268407"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=268406"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=268406"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=268406"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
