A social media trend mistakenly dialing 911 by saying "one twelve" to Siri is leading to potential legal issues.

A social media trend encourages users to tell Siri "one twelve," mistakenly believing it will get them a free crisis loan. However, this phrase causes Siri to dial 911, the US emergency number.

Despite the trend's popularity, Apple has not explained why "one twelve" triggers a 911 call on US devices.
