Multi-user Face ID isn’t on the the table right now, says Federighi I Apple exec Fed says there are no plans for Face ID to become Faces ID I The quick way to call police on your iPhone in an emergency you may not know about

One thing which is important to know about is a special feature on your iPhone which means you can call police instantly if you need help.We must stress at this stage that this is only available to iPhone users with iOS 11 - so you will need to update your operating system accordingly to access this feature.It is called Emergency SOS and there are several things to be aware of when using it, as Apple explains:

How does Emergency SOS work?

You can activate Emergency SOS on your iPhone at any time 

When you make a call with SOS, your iPhone automatically calls the local emergency number. In some countries and regions, you might need to choose the service that you need. For example, in China, you can choose police, fire, or ambulance.

You can also add emergency contacts. After an emergency call ends, your iPhone alerts your emergency contacts with a text message, unless you choose to cancel. Your iPhone sends them your current location, and, for a period of time after you enter SOS mode, it sends updates to your emergency contacts when your location changes.

How do I call emergency services?

This will depend on what type of iPhone you have - as the process changes for different devices.

If you have an iPhone X, iPhone 8, or iPhone 8 Plus:

1. Press and hold the side button and one of the volume buttons until the Emergency SOS slider appears.
2. Drag the Emergency SOS slider to call emergency services. If you continue to hold down the side button and volume button, instead of dragging the slider, a countdown begins and an alert sounds. If you hold down the buttons until the countdown ends, your iPhone automatically calls emergency services.

Here's how to make the call on iPhone 7 or earlier:

1. Rapidly press the side button five times. The Emergency SOS slider will appear. (In India, you only need to press the button three times, then your iPhone automatically calls emergency services.)
2. Drag the Emergency SOS slider to call emergency services.

After the call ends, your iPhone sends your emergency contacts a text message with your current location, unless you choose to cancel. If Location Services is off, it will temporarily turn on.

If your location changes, your contacts will get an update, and you'll get a notification about 10 minutes later. To stop the updates, tap the status bar and select "Stop Sharing Emergency Location." If you keep sharing, you'll get a reminder to stop every four hours for 24 hours.

If you use the Emergency SOS shortcut, you need to enter your passcode to re-enable Touch ID, even if you don't complete a call to emergency services.
