On October 25, the first betas of iOS 16.2, watchOS 9.2 and the rest of the Big Apple operating systems arrived. One of the novelties is the arrival of the Freeform application, announced at WWDC, which is neither more nor less than a collaborative blank canvas to build a job from scratch.

This also happens with the emergency call and that’s why Apple wants to tweak the feature, to avoid inadvertent calls to emergency services.
To do this, the Beta Diagnosis and Feedback application is launched when we make a call to 112 and the user You must fill in all the information related to the event: if it was voluntary, if it was accidental, if something really happened to it… Through all this information collected, Apple will try to refine the tool.
