Emergency information on your phone

Most phones can hold basic health details — allergies, medications, a contact — that emergency responders may be able to see. It is worth setting up once.

On an iPhone

Open the Health app, tap your picture or initials in the corner, then look for Medical ID. Tap Edit to add allergies, medications, blood type and an emergency contact.

Inside Medical ID, look for the options to Show When Locked and to share during an emergency call. Both are yours to choose.

From a locked iPhone, emergency details are usually reached by tapping Emergency on the passcode screen, then Medical ID.

On an Android phone

Open Settings and look for Safety & emergency — some phones call it Safety and emergency or Personal safety. Inside, look for Medical info or Emergency information.

Add allergies, medications, blood type and an emergency contact, and save.

From a locked Android phone, emergency details are usually reached by swiping up and choosing Emergency, then Emergency information. The wording differs between Samsung, Google Pixel, Motorola and others.

What shows on a locked phone varies

Whether emergency information can be seen without unlocking your phone depends on your phone model, its software version and the settings you choose. Some phones show it, some do not, and some only show part of it.

After you set it up, lock your phone and check it yourself — or ask someone to check for you. That is the only way to know what a responder would actually see. If nothing appears, your information is still saved and reachable once the phone is unlocked.

Locked-screen safety

Anything you choose to show on a locked screen can be seen by anyone holding your phone. Emergency contacts and medical details are usually worth it. Your full address, bank details or passwords never are.

Message previews are worth a thought too: if texts show on your locked screen, so do security codes sent to you. You can turn previews off in your notification settings while keeping Medical ID on.

Digital Self-Defense

One skill stops most scams, and it is not technical.

Verify Outside the Conversation

If a message, call or email asks you to act — pay something, move money, share a code, click a link — do not use anything inside that message to check it. Not the phone number it gives you, not the link, not the person who called.

Hang up or close it. Then reach the bank, the company or the family member a different way you already had: the number on your card or statement, a saved contact, or the official app.

A real organization will never mind you calling them back. Someone who objects to you checking has told you what they are.
