Android update blamed for record number of 999 callsGoogle urges users to switch off Emergency SOS feature until issue resolved Police in the UK have blamed an Android smartphone update on a record increase in accidental 999 calls.The National Police Chiefs Council said the Emergency SOS function was resulting in emergency switchboards being overwhelmed by “silent” calls.The emergency feature is activated when a side button on a device is repeatedly pressed, which triggers a countdown that allows the action to be cancelled by dragging a slider across the screen.
