Siri will respond with “Calling Emergency Services in five seconds…” followed by a countdown in case the user wants to cancel the request before the call is made.

SOS on Apple Watch

Similar to the SOS feature on the iPhone and iPad, the watchOS 3 also has an SOS feature, which lets you alert your SOS contacts in case of emergency.

When you make a call with SOS, your Apple Watch automatically calls the local emergency number. In some countries and regions, you might need to choose the service that you need. You can also add emergency contacts within Medical ID, who will be alerted via text once you’ve completed your SOS emergency call.

The Mail app now lets you ‘Unsubscribe’

To begin with, the iOS 10.3 has a hidden improvement for the Mail app, which brings the new ‘Unsubscribe’ feature to the app. Most of us already use this feature on the Gmail app and it has been on the desktop version for a while now. But Apple’s default Mail app never had the feature.

As the name suggests, it makes it easy for a user to remove themselves from an unwanted mailing list by simply opening the email and tapping on “Unsubscribe” at the top of the email.
