Android vs iPhone call 911

Kewl, voice commands to call 911 on Android phones don’t go to 911 but, private ambo’s.

Calls for Siri to call an ambulance do go to 911.

Another reason to like iPhones now that I’ve become of the delicate age.

yeah, they have nicer screens Android’s but, I just don’t trust them on updates, patches, etc.

Besides even my 7S back to 4S allowed me to enlarge the printing on phone through accessibility setting.
