Have to tried? On my Samsung pressing twice does the camera (as I’ve set it to) but doing 5 times tries to call emergency services.

They disabled it . I don’t understand why they even commented. It reads like some weird flex

I don’t know how it sounds like a weird flex. I was just asking. I don’t remember if it was something you could disable or not from when I had my pixel 5.

Right, correcting your incorrect information is “weird flex”. What are you, five?

On my Mi Max 3 it does not work as well. In “configure buttons” section of menu there is no call emergency number action, neither is there press [any button] five times trigger available. So clearly the function your phone has is not universal. What a wild world do we live in!

Thank you for defending me. ❤️ They were correct though. Apparently I had the setting disabled, but I don’t remember doing so. Must have been years ago on another phone? And then carried over when settings migrated? I don’t know when this feature was introduced. But yeah. It’s a thing.

But obviously not universal if you don’t have it. Which Android version are you on?

I didn’t even know it existed. I had to search to find the setting, but I see it exists on my phone and it’s disabled. I don’t recall disabling it though.

It’s not a flex… 🙄 I was just confused about how it seemed so established that this was an “Android” feature, so should be activated on my phone too, but it isn’t. And now that I see I have the functionality disabled but people say it’s the default, I’m even more confused because I don’t remember even seeing this setting. 🤷‍♂️

I did, yeah. Gotta test before commenting, of course. I see I have the setting disabled for some reason. Don’t recall disabling it though.
