iPhone Medical ID Setup: Emergency Contacts, SOS & Lock Screen Access

In this lesson, we cover how to set up Emergency Contacts and your Medical ID on iPhone — two features that could be critically important in an emergency.
We'll walk through how to designate any contact as an emergency contact directly from the Contacts app, what the medical icon next to a contact's name means, and how emergency contacts are automatically notified when Emergency SOS is triggered on your iPhone.
From there, we jump into the Health app to explore your Medical ID — how to add and remove emergency contacts from there, and what information you can store, including blood type, allergies, and medical history.
Finally, we cover the key settings you need to enable so that first responders can access your Medical ID from the lock screen, even without your passcode.

📋 Key Takeaways from This Lesson
• Automatic Alerts: Setting a contact as an emergency contact means they will automatically receive a text with your location if you trigger Emergency SOS.
• The "Medical" Icon: Once saved, your emergency contacts will display a red medical star icon next to their name in your Contacts list.
• Lock Screen Access: First responders can view details like blood type, allergies, and medical conditions right from the lock screen by tapping "Emergency"—no passcode required.
• Critical Settings: You must enable "Show when locked" and "Share during emergency call" in your Settings app for this feature to work fully.
