"Did you intentionally trigger Emergency SOS on your iPhone?" the message reads.
Apple has introduced a new feature that will send feedback after cancelling Emergency SOS in response to last month's "Wall Street Journal" report which reported that Crash Detection had accidentally called emergency services when iPhone and Apple Watch users were riding roller coasters.
However, the report was later updated to clarify that users were accidentally triggering Emergency SOS by pressing the device's buttons.
Emergency SOS is a feature which was introduced years ago in iOS devices that lets users quickly call emergency services by simply holding down the iPhone's buttons for a few seconds.
With iPhone 14, Emergency SOS has been combined with Crash Detection, which employs the iPhone's sensors to detect car crashes and automatically call emergency services.
Furthermore, iOS 16.2 introduces the new Freeform app, which allows users to simultaneously write and draw on a collaborative canvas.
