My phone has my medical information and identity for first responders.
Your phone that's locked? Super practical for first responders! Especially if you get hit by a car and your phone is broken!
Also, I don't know of a single place where a picture of an ID is considered a valid piece of ID. If I got caught driving with just a picture of my driver's license the police would ask me to call someone to pick up my car for me or have it towed and I would get a ticket for driving without a license.
Tell me you don’t know how the medical ID/emergency contacts feature works without telling me you don’t know how it works.
How well does that work if your phone gets broken in an accident?
It’s not a picture of an ID. It’s accessible even with the phone is locked. Also, some states allow digital ID now.
Crash happens, phone breaks, what now?
Crash happens, id card burns down, what now?
If that happens your cellphone as well as you would be burnt.
Try again.
