Try this on your phone, may be handy at some stage

With your phone locked......press the lock button five ‘5’ times.......

This come up on an iPhone

Could be handy if you need help (maybe be quicker than trying to unlock and/or you could do it without the threat knowing) or you grab somebody’s phone that needs help and you don’t have a phone.

I only learnt this while listening to a segment about the young girls that got taped and murdered in the park while walking home.

I’m going to pass it onto the kids

Quite amazing these little ink on function of smart phones.

I think pretty much all phones allow emergency service calls from lock screen.

On samsung galaxy the optional SOS feature is to quickly press power button three times. This can send gps location, audio pre recording, camera photo, predefined text message etc, to contacts of your choice.

I set mine up to contact the missus with the message 'help im being murdered', then completly forgot about it. Some months later the feature got 'pocket dialled'

️. I didnt know about it until I got home for dinner and she showed me the message, gps location and a picture of my pocket. She was not the least bit concerned! I have since turned the feature off.

I was aware of OOO calls when out of service but not with locked phones.
