How do I disable SOS on the power button

[galaxygiggle]

Hi 

Does anyone have any idea about turning off "pressing the power button thrice to call 911 " 

I assigned twice to click the power button to launch my Google Wallet, but when I use it instead of Google Wallet, it launches SoS. I think this is because my phone is slow ( A53 )

Go to Settings & Search for "SOS".

It's actually 5 times, not 3. 

You can add "Swipe to Call", so that simply pressing the power button 5 times won't dial 911.

I haven't tried it, but maybe change the emergency number from 911 to 411 or something.

Yeah, you could also change the number.... but just remember that you did!

Why are my settings different than yours 🙄

Different devices & Android versions. 

Here's a screen shot from my S20 Ultra One UI V5.1. 

The first screen shots are from my S23 Ultra One UI V6.0.
