In times of emergency, it is important to have quick access to people who can help you out. Thankfully, iPhones have a feature that allows you to add an emergency contact that can easily be accessed from your phone’s lock screen. In this article, we will show you how to add an emergency contact to your iPhone.
Firstly, you need to have the person’s contact saved in your phone. If you don’t have it yet, you can easily add it by following the steps in this tutorial. Once you have the person’s contact information saved, open the Contacts app and choose the person from the list.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap “Add to Emergency Contacts”. You will then be prompted to select your relationship to the contact. Once you have done this, the person will be added to your emergency contacts list.
Next, you will be taken to your Medical ID where you can scroll down to the contacts section to confirm the person you just added. Once you have confirmed this, tap “Done” on the top right corner of the page.
If in the future, you want to remove the person from your emergency contacts, simply head back into the Contacts page and tap “Remove from Emergency Contacts” at the bottom. Select it again when it pops up to confirm and the person will then be removed from your Medical ID.
To access your emergency contacts from the lock screen, simply try to open your phone until you see the passcode on the bottom left of the screen. Tap “Emergency” and select “Medical ID” on the bottom left. Here, you or anyone else who has access to your iPhone will see your added emergency contacts.
In conclusion, adding an emergency contact to your iPhone is a quick and easy process that can come in handy during times of emergency. Follow these simple steps to ensure that you and your loved ones are always prepared for any situation.
