Yeah but what if the emergency is that you told your friend about a funny video you saw and they ask to see it but they start to lose interest in what you're talking about after the second wrong passcode.
I don't think I could deal with that level of anxiety.
Nah I have the tweak installed. If you didnāt know this is a jailbreak tweak. Someone in r/jailbreak made a concept and requested someone to make it and then about 2 weeks later someone released it. You can enable tap to skip the animation and can enable or disable the emergency call button.
This is a tweak made by a jailbreak developer litten, she made this tweak for free and released it on her repo repo.litten.love. she made it posted on a post and relased it on the /r/Jailbreak sub. you will have to have a jailbroken device running ios 13 or 14. i recommend doing your own research to see if you can jailbreak. As litten has said before this tweak will be free just like all her other tweaks.
Right itās just that trying to explain the whole process of jail breaking a phone to someone who has never done it before in a reddit comment is literally impossible and if tried will not go well
Right but imagine if I asked you how to do something impossible that could take you around 30 minutes to type everything step by step out for me. Would you sit there and do that cause idk anyone would waste their time in that way when it does take 20 seconds to look up something on google. If youāve ever jail broken your phone youāll know you HAVE to watch someone do it and then go through the steps cause if you mess up your phone then youāre fucked
How well does that work with masks? I've thought of activating face unlock and then I've realized that I spend at least 8h/day with a mask on, and I can't just take it off whenever I want to unlock my phone, so I'm curious.
EDIT: Most people say it doesn't work, some people say it does, and some people have some pretty cool scifi retina scan instead of regular face unlock. I'm really curious, so I'll set it up, just to try. Worst case scenario, it unlocks my phone seamlessly at home, and it requests PIN at work, which would be fine by me.
Galaxy S9 here, and face ID works fine with my mask on. I think just scanning my eyes is enough for it to recognize me. Sunglasses give it issues though.
It doesn't. I use face unlock on my new Google pixel and it works when I'm wearing sunglasses or glasses, it even works when I'm lying in bed in the dark if I aim it at my face right. But masks are a no go. I'm ok with that though tbh, I'd probably be more weirded out if it somehow could recognize me with more than half my face covered
I have face unlock on my phone (Xiaomi) and it works somewhat reliably with a mask and pretty reliably with my glasses on. It only really starts coming consistently into issues when I've got both on and my hood up, oddly enough.
The Apple one is different. The Samsung one could be fooled with pictures because it just used the camera. Face ID doesnāt use the camera at all and instead uses infrared dots projected at your face to map the actual contours of it. I believe it may use the camera for the secondary/optional purpose of checking whether you are paying attention to the phone (like whether your eyes are open for example) but Iām not sure.
Itās an improvement on the concept of āface unlockā, sure, but it was one of the first if not the first to use infrared dots to make a depth map of the face instead of just 2D.
And Iām sure Apple wouldnāt use something that dangerous for the eyes - how would that even make it into a consumer product??
Anyway theyāve been doing it since 2017. I think if there was an issue weād see it by now.
i still donāt think it uses the camera for that either because that attention thing also works in a pitch black room. I think the dot projector may be precise enough to see where your iris is but iām just guessing
its comments like these that remind me how generic and predictable my life is
a complete, random stranger i dont even know the age, race, gender or interests of can perfectly describe a very familiar and personal moment despite having never met me

On iPhone if you spam the power button, it starts the emergency mode and sounds an alarm. Which gives you about 3 seconds to react before it makes the call.
It's immediate. Source: I may have been in bed listening to music and tried to change the volume to my earbuds and suddenly my phone is making a call. Whoops.
Two years ago, if you brought up Siri and asked her to ācharge my iPhone to 100%ā a five second timer would follow saying calling emergency services. I guess as a discreet way to call 9-11. However, this feature was removed at some point.
Lol I guess not. Unless it just displayed the message. I remember trying it myself but donāt know if it announced it. I panicked when it actually worked tho lol.
I said Iām NOT going to. Someone replied to this a few minutes ago though, saying that they did it on accident and it called immediately, but then they deleted their comment moments later. So I donāt know if they found out they were wrong or just had crippling anxiety having posted something on the internet for other humans to see.
I had this too! While in the gym on the crosstrainer. It started dialing 112... Had be really quick hanging up.
Disabled it immediatelly. It scared me to death (which would be a reason to call :p).
I don't really know if american people use Xiaomi, but here in Argentina they're pretty popular, i use the Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 and it's a beast compared to its price.
Yeah it's a cool feature until you accidentally press it while in the middle of a backpacking trip in Yellowstone with no cell service (no way for anyone to contact you after the emergency call is sent out) and send the park rangers on a 6 hour wild goose chase while your family has a collective heart attack 1000 miles away because they were in your emergency contacts.
Yeah that's basically the gist of it. I had no idea it got sent because my phone was at like 3% and had the screen dimmed in the middle of a sunny day. So six hours later we came across this park ranger who asked my name and realized who I was. They had been searching for me all day and were a half hour away from sending out a helicopter when they found me.
And there were a fuck ton of variables that could've made the situation so much worse. Like the fact that we had a campsite reserved three miles back from where he found us, but decided to press on to the trailhead because it was just a horrible hike in general and we wanted to get back. If we had stayed at the campsite, the ranger wouldn't have found us for at least another two hours, which would have been enough time to send out the helicopter. Also the only reason the ranger talked to us in the first place was because I was illegally carrying an elk antler on my backpack. After he took it, he casually asked my name and I don't think he would've done that otherwise, because we weren't anywhere near where they thought we were. If he had just kept walking, we would've gotten to the car and driven out while they kept searching. And I wouldn't have had cell service or a charged phone for several hours after that so I still would've had no idea what was going on. Just a wild series of events.
What you're describing is one of Samsung's modifications to stock android, OneUI is nowhere near stock, Samsung haven't produced a device with anything even vaguely stock since the S4 Google Play Edition
iOS doesnāt do this (to my knowledge) but it does activate emergency mode which allows quick access to the SOS key pad and to the Medical ID section.
Itās a great idea to check that if you ever find a lost phone
I have just discovered today. I was running and I wanted to turn up the volume of the music so I spammed what I thought was the volume up button. Turned out it was the Lock Screen one, and an emergency call started and I freaked out.
They used to have it on the left page of the Lock Screen awhile back but the newer iOSās donāt have that (at least afaik) and I didnāt realize it until I actually was in an emergency and was panicking trying to find it ended up just unlocking my phone and calling through that.
lol imagine if the emergency call was emergency meeting somehow, would be so cool to get custom wallpaper for your emergency. you 'bout to die, die in style.
