In Android 12, you will not need to unlock your smartphone and use the dialer for this – there is now a much easier and more convenient way to seek emergency help. To do this, you just need to press the power button five times – after that the smartphone will make a call to a preset number (in the USA, of course, it is 911).

However, the connection to the rescue service does not occur immediately after pressing the power key five times: after that, a five-second countdown timer starts, as a kind of protection against accidental clicks. During this time, the call can be canceled. As you can see in the settings screenshot, the Android 12 smartphone will also recognize car accidents.
