Summary at a Glance

After crawling for two days, stroke victim used Siri to make a call that saved his life Siri can help when you're unable to reach the phone.

Siri is able to understand phrases such as "Call 911" or "Call the fire department," and there's even a five-second countdown that lets users cancel the call if it was made by mistake.

The "Hey Siri" feature, which lets users toggle Siri only with their voice, allowed Vallaire to call his daughter.

Access to Siri can be lifesaving, especially when the user is otherwise incapacitated, like a Florida stroke victim that used the assistant to call for help after crawling for days.

Through Apple Intelligence and the iOS 18.4 update, Siri will be able to better understand a user's personal context, including the important people in their lives, which could prove even more useful in emergencies.
