The emergency call button on an iPhone or iPad is an important feature that can be used to call for help in case of an emergency. However, this button can sometimes be accidentally pressed, leading to an unwanted emergency call. If you are someone who frequently presses the emergency call button accidentally, you might be wondering how to disable this feature on your device. In this article, we will guide you through the process of disabling the emergency call button on your iPhone or iPad.

Step 1: Open the Settings App

The first step in disabling the emergency call button on your iPhone or iPad is to open the Settings app. Locate the Settings icon on your home screen and tap on it to open the app.

Step 2: Tap on Touch ID & Passcode (or Face ID & Passcode)

Once you have opened the Settings app, scroll down until you find the option for Touch ID & Passcode (or Face ID & Passcode if you have an iPhone or iPad with Face ID). Tap on this option to continue.

Step 3: Enter Your Passcode

Before you can make any changes to the settings, you will need to enter your passcode. This is the passcode that you use to unlock your iPhone or iPad. Enter your passcode when prompted to continue.

Step 4: Scroll Down and Toggle Off Emergency SOS

Scroll down the Touch ID & Passcode (or Face ID & Passcode) menu until you find the Emergency SOS option. This is the option that controls the emergency call button on your device. Toggle off the switch next to the Emergency SOS option to disable this feature.

Step 5: Confirm the Disable

If you do not want to accidentally press the emergency call button in the future, you can confirm the disable of the Emergency SOS. After toggling off the switch, a pop-up message will prompt you to confirm whether you want to disable the Emergency SOS feature. Tap on the Turn Off button to confirm your choice.

Step 6: Restart Your Device

To ensure that the changes are applied to your device, you will need to restart it. Press and hold the power button until the “slide to power off” option appears on the screen. Swipe the option to the right to turn off your device. Once it is off, press and hold the power button again to turn it back on.

Once your iPhone or iPad has restarted, the emergency call button will have been disabled. You will no longer be able to use this button to initiate an emergency call unless you re-enable it from the settings.

In conclusion, disabling the emergency call button on your iPhone or iPad can be a good idea if you frequently press it accidentally. The steps outlined above will guide you through the process of disabling this feature on your device. Although it is essential to have an accessible emergency call feature on your device, it is also important to prevent accidental emergencies from occurring. By disabling the feature, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that you will not accidentally call for help.
