Is there a way to fix iPhone stuck in SOS mode?
Hi everyone, this afternoon my iPhone 15 Pro (iOS 17.6) suddenly got stuck in the SOS emergency call screen. I was using TikTok when the screen suddenly turned black and then jumped to the SOS screen...

Yes, there are a few things you can try. Since the first two reboots worked but the problem keeps returning, I’d start with a force restart rather than a normal reboot: quickly press Volume Up, quickly press Volume Down, then press and hold the Side button until the Apple logo appears. If it still gets stuck in SOS after that, check for an iOS update and contact Apple Support, especially since this has happened three times in one week.
