Enable Apple Watch Fall Detection
While this isn’t specifically an iPhone option, it’s such a useful Apple Watch safety feature that it’s worth its own shout-out. If you have an Apple Watch Series 4, you can ensure that Fall Detection is on to have an Emergency SOS automatically triggered if your watch determines that you’ve fallen and aren’t getting back up.
Fall Detection has been credited with saving multiple lives already, but the key is that you have to make sure it’s turned on; by default, Apple only enables it for users who are over 65 years of age.
