My wife and I each have a couple entries in our "Contacts" list, designated as Emergency Contacts.
Wife asked me today, if either (or both) of us were to be in an accident and unresonsive, how would first responders be able to find the emergency contacts in our password protected iPhones.
I have no idea.

when the phone is locked tap the screen and then tap on "emergency" lower left on the pass code screen and then "*Medical ID" then all your medical info you have listed and emergency contact numbers are accessible..
Settings Emergency SOS Follow instructions to setup emergency contacts You can put in medical information like allergies, medications and setup a contact(s)

Also, if your i-phone senses a high G impact, it automatically notifies the emergency contact to check on you.

Which is good, unless your contact is in the high g impact with you....
Always have a second contact in the phone if you can, let them know they are the second contact as well.

Only if you have an iPhone 14.

Most first responders know this, but not all.
We had the state update our basic law enforcement training lesson plans with that in them specifically.
But it is a great thing to have available. You can also put allergies or medication lists in there.
Knowing what one is talking about is widely admired but not strictly required here.
Although sometimes distracting, there is often a certain entertainment value to this easy standard. -JALLEN

Great thread reminder. I went to set up two people and found out I already added one of them. I forgot I did set up emergency contacts.
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual." Viktor Frankl, Man's Search for Meaning, 1946.

Yup. In our case, spouse is listed as first contact, son is the second one.

Start in your contacts listing By placing behind the letter A or multible A"s as needed in front of "wife""daugheter" "son" "husband" "etc" to make these contact listings to be the first to pop up.... Or have a emergency contact listing section. ......... drill sgt.

Recently used emergency contact information to return a phone I found at the post office. Was able to contact the man’s wife and I meet him at a local grocery store to hand over the phone. Worked out perfectlyThis message has been edited. Last edited by: Sauer Kraut,
