to solve this issue, the ways include:<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" id=\"t-1724391887729\">1. Check for Accidental Activation<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Review SOS Settings:<\/strong> Go to Settings &gt; Emergency SOS and make sure that Auto Call or Call with Side Button is not enabled if you don&#8217;t want this feature.

Restart Your iPhone<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Simple Restart: <\/strong>Turn off your iPhone by holding the side button and either volume button (for iPhone X and later) or just the side button (for iPhone 8 and earlier) until the power off slider appears.

Check for Hardware Issues<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Inspect Buttons:<\/strong> If the side button or volume buttons are stuck or malfunctioning, it could cause the SOS mode to trigger. Check for physical damage or debris around the buttons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\" id=\"t-1724391887734\">6. Check the Carrier Settings:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Check Carrier Settings:<\/strong> To <a href=\"https:\/\/ifixscreens.com\/how-to-fix-iphone-sos-mode-emergency-service-issue\/\">fix SOS mode on your iPhone<\/a>, start by checking your carrier settings.

Go to Settings &gt; General &gt; Transfer or Reset iPhone &gt; Erase All Content and Settings.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"t-1724391887738\">10.
