Good, this happened to me! I had my phone in the cup holder of my car while driving down a dirt road and bumps pressed the power enough to make it emergency call 911. It scared the shit out of me cause the phone also starting make a horrible alarm/siren sound.
Yeah, accidentally got the alarm too. I think it started a countdown to actually dialing 911, but didnt make it to 0 before i cancelled it. Well, I hope thats what it was anyways. Freaked me out.
Then I started thinking about if it did that when I was actually in trouble. I mean, if i was being held at gunpoint, I don’t think I want a giant alarm going off. I worry that would be a great way to get myself shot.
But, then I was ultimately thankful for it, in the circumstance at least, cause then it definitely would have dialed 911 and wouldn’t have known…
I still wish there was a way to call silently though. Or, maybe there is, but im not gonna purposefully get to the point where I could find out.
There is. Check your settings. You can turn off the alarm. And at least on pixels, you can have it show buttons on the screen to ask for police, fire or ambulance.

Awesome, thanks! I’ll check it out.
Just don’t try it out of course 🤭
It happened to me but I was in the shower. My power button jammed. 911 attempted to even call me back, I feel sorry for wasting their time.
