I was trying to screenshot a picture on my Pixel in the YouTube app, but a recurring bug just completely froze my phone. I tried multiple ways of turning it off (I didn't know about the forced restart at the time, which is done by holding the power button down for 30 seconds ) and eventually it accidentally called emergency services. The problem is that I couldn't tell them it was a false alarm because...well, my phone was frozen. Was very embarrassing when the dispatcher arrived suddenly, although he was very understanding about it.
After restarting my phone, I immediately turned off the shortcut. Never again.
"911, what's your emergency?"
"I urgently need to take a screenshot of this youtube video to post on social media.! Help!"
