iOS 16.2 to let users report unintentional Emergency SOS activations

San Francisco: Tech giant Apple has released the first iOS 16.2 beta to developers, the next iOS update, that will allow users to send a report to the company when Emergency SOS has been triggered unintentionally.
As reported by 9to5Mac, Apple’s iOS 16.2 beta now asks users for feedback when cancelling Emergency SOS mode. A notification appears that opens the Feedback Assistant so Apple can receive data about what happened.
“Did you intentionally trigger Emergency SOS on your iPhone?” the message reads.
Apple introduced a new feature that sends feedback after cancelling Emergency SOS in response to last month’s “Wall Street Journal” report which reported that Crash Detection had accidentally called emergency services when iPhone and Apple Watch users were riding roller coasters.

Emergency SOS is a feature which was introduced years ago in iOS devices that lets users quickly call emergency services by simply holding down the iPhone’s buttons for a few seconds.
