Adding medical and emergency contact information

You can add and edit ICE (In Case of Emergency) information in the Contacts

application. You can enter medical details, such as allergies and medications that you are

using, plus information about relatives and friends who can be contacted in case of an

emergency. After setup, your ICE information can be accessed from the security

lockscreen. This means that even if the screen is locked, for example, by a PIN, pattern,

or password, emergency personnel can still retrieve your ICE information.
