If you're an Apple user who loves amusement parks, you might want to disable Crash Detection. That's because there have been several reports of the emergency feature being triggered on rollercoasters.
Aside from this unintended use case, Crash Detection, which is available on the new iPhone 14 line, as well as the Apple Watch Series 8 and Apple Watch Ultra, has already been proven to work. And it could very well be a lifesaver in the event of a car accident, so you might not want to disable it.
Nonetheless, there is a way to turn it off. Here's how.
1. Go to settings
Open Settings on your Apple Watch Series 8/Ultra or iPhone 14 device. Scroll down and tap "Emergency SOS."
2. Scroll down and disable "Crash Detection"
In the "Emergency SOS" section, you'll find several settings related to emergency settings. Find the setting called "Crash Detection" and toggle it off.
3. Confirm Crash Detection is disabled
Next, you'll be prompted with a disclaimer explaining that turning off the feature will prevent your device from automatically making an emergency call. Tap "Turn Off."
And that's it. Just remember to turn Crash Detection back on when your amusement park joy ride's over.
