Police have issued an urgent warning to Android phone users after a new emergency button feature was introduced.
Greater Manchester Police said this morning (June 15) that BT is seeing a 'significant' rise in 'accidental' 999 calls. It put the problem down to the latest Android update.
That new update, GMP said, allows users to trigger an SOS function when the side button of the phone is pressed five times. However, it can be turned off.
