Re: iOS 10.2 and iPhone 5s
Thanks for clearing that up. You can still access making emergency calls while the phone is locked on your screen where you would enter your pass code. The emergency button is in the lower left area of the screen. No, you can't do this silently, unless you are using a bluetooth keyboard, braille display or have earphones in of course. I have 911 as a favorite, which I've never had to use thankfully.
