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, id card burns down, what now?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

If that happens your cellphone as well as you would be burnt.

Try again.
