  • Google could soon release a new Emergency SOS gesture for the Pixel Watch to prevent accidental 911 calls.
  • This new gesture will require users to touch and hold the screen for three seconds after pressing the crown five times to trigger Emergency SOS.

Pixel Watch’s Emergency SOS feature can be quite useful when you need to call emergency services or an emergency contact quickly. You can activate it by pressing the smartwatch’s crown five times in quick succession. This gesture is easy to trigger, making it perfect for emergencies. However, user reports suggest it also results in frequent accidental 911 calls. Thankfully, it seems Google has a solution in the works.
