Apple issued an advisory on what iPhone or Apple Watch users should do if they accidentally call emergency services like 911 when they aren’t actually needed.

Because the iPhone 14, Apple Watch Series 8, and Apple Watch Ultra support Apple’s Crash Detection feature that can determine if someone has been in a car accident, it can call emergency services automatically.
