A feature that's supposed to help iPhone users in case of emergency is actually becoming a bit of a headache for emergency services. The Maine Department of Public Safety Communications addressed this issue in a recent Facebook post and how to make sure you're not the next one to accidentally tie up a 911 line or police resources. The feature is called Emergency SOS. Once activated 911 can be reached simply by holding the side button and one of the volume buttons. At this point, a slider will appear. You either slide the slider over to complete contact with emergency service or if the side button and volume are still held down a countdown will begin with an alert and then will automatically call. This is where the issue comes into play.
