SOS on iPhone: What it means and how to fix

What does SOS mean on iPhone?

When you see SOS in your iPhone's status bar, it means your device isn't connected to your cellular network, but you can still make emergency calls.

If you see SOS only (without cellular data or Wi-Fi icons), you're not connected to any network, but you can still make emergency calls.

How to fix SOS mode on iPhone

• Check your network connection. If you're in an area with poor cellular coverage, you may need to move to a different location.
• Restart your iPhone. This can help reset your network connection and fix any software glitches that may be causing the SOS mode.
• If you're still seeing SOS mode, you may need to contact your carrier for help.
