  Cool, you disabled the gesture. Clearly the default SO setting doesn’t apply to you…

    I didn’t even know it existed. I had to search to find the setting, but I see it exists on my phone and it’s disabled. I don’t recall disabling it though.

  Have to tried? On my Samsung pressing twice does the camera (as I’ve set it to) but doing 5 times tries to call emergency services.

    They disabled it . I don’t understand why they even commented. It reads like some weird flex

      Right, correcting your incorrect information is “weird flex”. What are you, five?

      On my Mi Max 3 it does not work as well. In “configure buttons” section of menu there is no call emergency number action, neither is there press any button five times trigger available. So clearly the function your phone has is not universal. What a wild world do we live in!

        Thank you for defending me. ❤️ They were correct though. Apparently I had the setting disabled, but I don’t remember doing so. Must have been years ago on another phone? And then carried over when settings migrated? I don’t know when this feature was introduced. But yeah. It’s a thing.

      I don’t know how it sounds like a weird flex. I was just asking. I don’t remember if it was something you could disable or not from when I had my pixel 5.

      It’s not a flex… 🙄 I was just confused about how it seemed so established that this was an “Android” feature, so should be activated on my phone too, but it isn’t. And now that I see I have the functionality disabled but people say it’s the default, I’m even more confused because I don’t remember even seeing this setting. 🤷‍♂️

    I did, yeah. Gotta test before commenting, of course. I see I have the setting disabled for some reason. Don’t recall disabling it though.
