Oppo: Turn Emergency SOS Quick Access On or Off

If pressing the power button five times keeps launching Emergency SOS by accident, or the shortcut refuses to trigger when you actually need it, the Emergency call quick access toggle is probably set the wrong way. The feature works straight from the lock screen and dials your saved emergency contacts, so an unwanted trigger during everyday use can be just as annoying as a missing one in a real emergency.

Turn On/Off Emergency SOS auf Oppo

Emergency SOS on Oppo phones runs through the power button. Pressing it five times in a row pulls up your saved emergency contacts, even while the screen is locked, and lets you call one of them with a single tap.

Whether this shortcut is available depends on a single toggle called Emergency call quick access. If it is switched off, five quick presses of the power button do nothing. If it is switched on but you did not mean to enable it, an accidental five-press sequence in your pocket can suddenly place a call to someone in your contact list.

To check or change the setting, go to Tap on SettingsTap on SecurityTap on Emergency SOSTap on Emergency callEnable or disable Emergency call quick access.

Turning the toggle off does not delete the emergency contacts you already stored. It only removes the power-button shortcut, so those contacts stay reachable through the regular Phone app.

If your phone still dials someone by accident after disabling the toggle, check whether a case or bag is pressing the power button repeatedly, since that can mimic the five-press pattern before the setting change takes effect.
