Ha – I didn’t watch the video but still definitely get the condescension! It’s a LOT of extra explaining and direction when something like, “if you need immediate assistance, please contact Fergus at…” will do.

I have followed these steps on my work iPhone. I have driving mode set to manual and to apply to “allow calls from no one”.
