minus-square☆Luma☆linkfedilinkEnglish35•1 year agoMy touch screen randomly disabled itself and when I attempted to shut my phone off, it instead triggered a 911 call. The only way to stop it? Swiping right on the touch screen. I was just a bit frustrated and had no idea 5 taps triggered emergency calls. What a terrible event. Q.Q
