I've been trying to set up the SOS and Fall Detection on my watch4 Classic, I have the Galaxy S22 Ultra phone.

I've got a few contacts in my SOS list that I need notified if I send a SOS alert. When I do send a message I have not been able to deactivate the SOS. Per 

https://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00078032/

I will see red siren icon on my watch's home screen. When I swipe left on the home screen of the watch I see information regarding the next alarm that is set on my watch and phone. I expected to see a SOS notification. If I keep scrolling left, eventually I see "Add Tiles" but I never see anything about SOS

OH DARN!!! I just accidentally swiped the home screen to the RIGHT and I see the SOS notification and I can turn it off. Now I also understand why my emergency contacts would receive a message that I had moved and included a link to a map showing my location. Interestingly the follow-up message did not state that it was an SOS message. Other than waking them up in the middle of the night they did not understand why they kept receiving a message that I had moved (actually I had only moved a few inches). With a very small amount of effort the SOS message could be greatly improved.
