Since I got my iPhone X, about once a week I accidentally call, or 'butt dial,' my significant other, who is my designated emergency contact on iPhone. It's become an issue.

Myth the fallen lords alric. durability: medium (7), shortened paralysis effect.

But progress in the Foundation's forty-four grant areas did serve as a model of the emergency phone number's effectiveness. In this way,.

When my phone is in my pocket, I tend to hold it like a gadget security blanket, and I sometimes end up squeezing the side buttons. This was never a problem until I got the iPhone X, which has some new features tied to those side buttons. More specifically, if you press and hold both the power button and a volume button for a few seconds, your phone will call 911 and/or your designated emergency contacts.

I finally took the time to figure out what the hell was going on, and it turned out to be a simple fix. My issue was with the iPhone X and iOS 11 Emergency SOS Auto Call feature. We wrote all about iOS 11's Emergency SOS features last fall. And we even detailed how to disable Auto Call if it became an issue. But until I did some digging, I didn't realize that feature was causing my problem.

So if you, like me, keep accidentally butt-dialing your iPhone's emergency contacts, you can quickly put a stop to that by turning off that Auto Call feature.

How to disable iOS 11 Emergency SOS Auto Call

Just follow these easy steps:

1. Open your iPhone Settings.
2. Scroll down and tap Emergency SOS.

3. Toggle the Auto Call switch to the off position. Gray means off.

That's it. You can still hold the power button and a volume key to trigger Emergency SOS, but unless you move the on-screen slider from left to right, you won't accidentally call anyone.
