Hi Pedro,

To remove the Emergency Call button from the Enter Pin screen on your Samsung A52S 5G running UI 5.1 and Android 13, you can try the following steps:

  1. Go to "Settings" on your phone.
  2. Scroll down and select "Biometrics and Security" or a similar option (this might vary slightly depending on your exact device and UI version).
  3. Look for "Emergency SOS" or a similar setting within this section.
  4. Disable or toggle off the "Emergency SOS" or "Show Emergency Information" option.

For more detailed instructions and alternative methods, you can check out this external article.

Hope this helps!

I don't think you can, but I've had the same problem and this is what has worked for me...

 

1. Remove the phone app from your lock screen (bottom corner)

 

2. In Motions and Gestures, toggle off "double tap to turn screen on" and "lift to wake"

 

3. In Biometrics, toggle off "fingerprints always on" (or always scanning).

 

4. Change Emergency SOS number to your own number.

 

5. Turn off "Always on display"

 

This way, the only way for your screen to turn on is by pressing the side button which is much harder when in your pocket. Also, if the Emergency SOS is triggered somehow, it will call you instead of the police. This may not be the best approach but it has worked for me. I was getting sick of calling the police accidentally and they kept giving me ***** for it. Since doing these things, it has stopped. Hope this helps.

Because the phone keeps accidentally calling the police when in a pocket and there is no way to stop it

Hey guys.. il put my 2pence. I have a pin lock and fingerprint lock also active. My 3 year old son gets my phone whenever I leave it. And he know if he swiped up on the pin area it enables the 'Emergency call' option and it dials out to police. I have also spoken with Samsung tech and I have raised this issue as a complaint. So far they say nothing can be done but the will raise it to the software developers... so if I hear anything I will report back.... I'm sick of this.. daily about 2 calls min.. 🤲 at this rate I'm now considering going to a brick non smart phone.. i have s23 ultra 512 12gb.

Ugh..... same with me. My toddler calls 911 so often! Im going crazy trying to look for a solution.

The best ive come up with is to turn the lock screen to swipe n remove the call button from the home screen.

He can still get inside my phone but the emergency button is not right in front of his face

I  also would like to know how to remove the emergency call button in lock screen because i recently found out that the keypad can be used to enter codes to unlock the phone WITHOUT password, pattern or biometrics
