iPhone 6 has a feature called Medical ID that allows you to enter information about yourself that can be useful during medical emergencies. This includes the name and phone number of a family member or friend that you want to be contacted in the event that you have a medical crisis. Based on your preference, you can choose to have this information accessible from your lock screen so that those responding to your medical needs can view the emergency card without unlocking your phone’s screen. Read on to learn how to set up Medical ID on your iPhone 6.

Important Notes
* Medical ID can be useful during emergencies, but one should not consider it a life-saving feature. * Make sure that the information entered on the device is accurate. If you are unsure of some information, it is probably best to leave it blank. * As a courtesy, you should notify your emergency contact that his/her name and phone number will appear on your Medical ID. Some people may not like the idea of having their name and number open to other people.
