Emergency call during forced update

I had an emergency happen the other day - my neighbor had a heart attack - and when i grabbed my phone to dial 911 it was loading a *****ing forced update that I did not select. My neighbor is dead now and likely could have survived if i hadn't wasted precious minutes trying to find another phone to call from. I'm an adult who paid a lot of money for my Galaxy S9 - shouldn't i get to decide whether or not i wan an update forced on me? I don't care if my phone is less "secure". I am willing to take that risk and not have a system software update forced upon me. At the very least make it possible to stop it quickly so emergency calls can be made! What the *****? Samsung you now have blood (or at least a dead guy in his sixties) on your hands.

 

any suggestions on a non-Samsung new phone anyone?

oh *****, sorry to hear about your neighbour!

in my experience usually a push notification comes through asking if and when you want to update and I do them straight away. however if you don't do it for a long time it may be forced but that would happen on all phones I suspect.
