Hi. I like all suggestions given here. Luckily I haven't had a possibility to call emergency, wich is 112 over here. Making this number as your favorite is definitely a good idea. I feel, that If i'm on hurry, wich I obviously in case of emergency am, I will tap too quickly on the phone, wich ends up by double tapping places, where I didn't want to. I don't want to imagine, what happens, if there are people's lives affected and they might rely on me. Using siri, or voice control is a situation, when you take a high risk. Loud sounds, like screams, crashes and explosions make it hard to talk loud and clear, wich is required to be heard from the phone. also, I don't rely on voice dialing on normal situations either. "call 911" "I didn't get that. "call 911" "Calling my mom"
so you definitely don't want to call your mom first when your friend is injured or the house is on fire or… whatever. still, using a phone with buttons is best solution in this case. I really like that idea of the emergency app and do check it out, maybe it can be configured to our 112 here. giving a visual sos signal will be also a great feature. at dark night on a sea a little light shines quite far. the same for beaches, meadows etc. One more tip I can think of is to be able to sound a loud audible beeping. Imagine a situation when you are in a forest injured and can't move. You are not shure where you are or can't describe properly. you are unconscious or can't shout. then, sadly, no one is not able to find you, because they don't know really where you are. There could help the loud beeping sound, wich you could activate on the phone. I understand that iPhone's speaker is really weak and can't produce a loud sound, but there are some audio frequencies what are heard better. Also, the battery. iPhone's battery is very likely to die. I need to charge my phone almost every night. I don't know what I am going to do when it dies and an emergency happens. Maybe i'm going too far now, but some things on the emergency side need improving on the iPhone. stay safe.
