Police warn about Siri '108' prank
Police departments are warning iPhone users to ignore posts urging them to say "108" to Apple's digital voice assistant Siri. Siri has been a part of Apple's iPhone since 2011. Some of the posts tell users to say "108" to Siri, then close their eyes. When a user says "108" to Siri, it automatically dials local emergency services. The posts ask users to close their eyes because there is a five-second window where a user can press cancel, in case a call was placed accidentally. The prank has prompted police departments to post warnings on Facebook and Twitter urging iPhone owners not to fall for it.
