Here's how to troubleshoot an iPhone stuck in SOS mode:
An iPhone displays "SOS" in the status bar when it can't connect to your cellular network but can still make emergency calls via other available networks or using the Emergency SOS via satellite feature (if supported in your region).
Troubleshooting Steps:
Check Your Cellular Coverage: The most common reason for SOS mode is simply a lack of cellular service. Move to an area with better coverage and see if the signal returns. You can consult your carrier's coverage map for your location.
Restart Your iPhone: A simple restart can often resolve temporary software glitches. Turn your iPhone off and then back on.
Toggle Airplane Mode: Turn on Airplane Mode for about 15 seconds, then turn it off. This forces your iPhone to reconnect to available networks.
Check Date & Time Settings: Incorrect date and time settings can sometimes interfere with network connectivity. Make sure your date and time are set to "Set Automatically" in your iPhone's settings.
Update Carrier Settings: Outdated carrier settings can cause connectivity issues. Go to Settings > General > About. If an update is available, you'll see a prompt to update your carrier settings.
Update iOS: Make sure you're running the latest version of iOS. Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
Check SIM Card:
Reset Network Settings: This will reset your Wi-Fi passwords, cellular settings, and VPN settings. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Emergency SOS via Satellite: If you're in an area with no cellular or Wi-Fi coverage but have a clear view of the sky, your iPhone might be trying to use the Emergency SOS via satellite feature (if supported). If you don't need it, you can try moving to a location where you have cell coverage.
Contact Your Carrier: If none of the above steps work, contact your cellular carrier to ensure there are no issues with your account or network in your area.
Restore iPhone to Factory Settings (Last Resort): As a last resort, you can try restoring your iPhone to its factory settings. This will erase all data on your device, so be sure to back it up first. Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Erase All Content and Settings.
