How do I turn off the 911 Emergency call on my iPhone 12?
I just got an iPhone 12 Pro Max. Periodically I accidentally call 911, which is very embarrassing. I was told to go to "Emergency SOS" under Settings, but I can't find it. Please help.

I have no idea what was causing the calls - I evidently accidentally push the call button combination when taking the phone out of my case. But it's all good now. Thank you.
One of the ways to dial the emergency number is pressing the power button 5 times. Then a slider on screen needs to be used to dial. You can also hold power and one of the volume buttons. Both should not happen by accident.
