If you see SOS or “SOS only” in the status bar of your iPhone, it means that your device is not connected to a network. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as a weak signal, a dead battery, or a lack of coverage in your area.
Fortunately, even if your device is not connected to a network, you can still make emergency calls. The SOS feature on your iPhone allows you to make emergency calls to local emergency services, even when your device is not connected to a network. This feature is especially useful if you are in an area with no cellular coverage or if your device has a dead battery.
To make an emergency call, simply press and hold the side button and one of the volume buttons until the Emergency SOS slider appears. Drag the slider to call emergency services. Your iPhone will then call the local emergency services and alert them to your location.
The Emergency SOS feature is available on all iPhones running iOS 11 or later. It is important to note that the Emergency SOS feature is only intended for emergency situations and should not be used for non-emergency calls.
The Emergency SOS feature is a great way to stay safe in an emergency situation. It is important to remember that if you see SOS or “SOS only” in the status bar of your iPhone, your device is not connected to a network, but you can still make emergency calls.
