In September 2026, a netizen's mother suddenly suffered a myocardial infarction. While his father was calling 120 with his Honor phone, the call was blocked by an unclosable
Recently, a Douyin netizen shared a pop-up advertisement on an Android phone. After accidentally touching it, the ad disguised itself as a call from property management, a delivery person, or one's daughter to induce the user to answer. Whether hung up or answered, it would redirect to a spam call interface and play audio in a loop, making it difficult to close.
In early September 2026, a netizen in Shandong reported that their mother suffered a sudden, critical acute myocardial infarction. While panicking, the father, who suffers from cerebral infarction, used an Honor phone to call the 120 emergency hotline. Due to accidentally triggering the system's default full-screen commercial ad 'Magic Pictorial' by swiping up on the lock screen, and because the close button was hidden and he could not quickly return to the dial pad, the golden window for medical rescue was delayed, and the mother unfortunately passed away. After the incident was exposed, it sparked strong condemnation across the internet regarding mobile phone advertisements blocking life-saving channels and flaws in age-friendly designs. [Follow-up · September 11, 2026] On the evening of September 11, the party involved in the Honor 'Magic Pictorial' incident posted a clarification and apology, stating that the father's failure to connect the emergency call during his cerebral infarction episode was a misunderstanding and had nothing to do with the Honor phone. Honor expressed condolences for the death of the party's mother, but accused the false post of causing brand damage, stating that "out of humanitarian care, no further action will be pursued," which triggered netizens' doubts about the embedding of 'Magic Pictorial' and the official attitude. [Follow-up · September 12, 2026] On September 12, the Weibo account of the involved party, Mr. Zhang, showed that it had been deactivated, all content on Xiaohongshu (RedNote) was cleared, and only the report by Jiemian News was retained.
