Some iPhone 14s are calling 911 on roller coasters. Here’s how you can prevent it


People told the roller coaster website that crash detection was triggered on rides at various theme parks across the country, including Universal’s Islands of Adventure in Orlando, Florida, and Busch Gardens in Williamsburg, Virginia. — Bloomberg

The crash detection feature on the new iPhone 14 is coming with an unintended consequence, as some users are reporting it is dialling 911 as they ride roller coasters.

The feature is on by default on the new iPhones. When your iPhone detects you have been in a severe car crash, it will display an alert and call 911 twenty seconds later unless you cancel.
