Well, this is slightly alarming.

The following is a very mad iPhone bug that you should be aware of, as it might come in handy in some situations – though hopefully you’re never going to have to use it. Apparently, asking Siri to charge your phone to 100% will trigger an emergency call to the police.
Siri will call 911 if you ask it to charge your phone to 100%.
Siri will call the number 112, the European standard for emergency services, and will allow five seconds to cancel the call.
Obviously, this is not one to try at home.
There’s another Siri glitch that’s just been found, but this one could land you in serious trouble.
Daily Star Online has tested saying the phrase into Siri and can confirm that it does call 999.
There’s no official documentation on this issue from Apple, and the company has yet to publicly comment on it, so once again, it’s likely a bug. However, such a security measure has not been listed anywhere, which makes no sense – why would you implement such a security feature and keep it deeply hidden?

It’s unclear why someone would ask Siri to charge their phone in the first place, but it could explain why this error is only being discovered now.
