Fall detection triggers the SOS button to activate without having to press the SOS button but instead when the device falls from at least 4 in.

No. We recommend that Fall Detection only be used while your phone is worn on a belt holster or around the neck or wrist on a lanyard. Fall detection may not pick up falls if the device does not have direct impact. Fall detection can be an added layer of caution but use of the SOS button itself in some situations may be more reliable.
