2: Register someone who notifies you that you have fallen

If you send it with the "Urgent SOS" function, if you do not specify the cancellation, a text message will be sent to the specified emergency contact information to notify your current location.However, this emergency contact must be set in advance.

Specifically, from the "Settings" app, select "Urgent SOS"> "Set up emergency contact information for" Healthcare "".Tap "Create Medical ID", tap "Add Emergency Contact", and select the other party from the registered contact.

You can also register medical ID information from the same screen.Fill out the information on blood type, allergies, and drugs you are taking as much as possible.After filling out, tap "Next" at the top right of the screen, tap "Complete" on the next screen to complete the registration.

3: I don't know the passcode I call an emergency call from the iPhone

Remember how to make urgent calls using another person's iPhone who doesn't know the passcode.First, try to unlock the iPhone.If the biometric authentication cannot be released, the screen to enter the passcode will be started, so tap the "Urgent" displayed at the bottom left of the screen.This displays a screen that allows you to make a phone call.

If you tap "urgent", you can use the phone without knowing the passcode.

By the way, if you tap the " * Medical ID" displayed at the lower left on the same screen, you can check the information if the medical ID is registered.Depending on the registration status, keep in mind that you may be able to check the chronic illnesses, blood types, allergies, and medicine you are taking.

4: Use of low power mode properly

If you cannot charge for a long time in the event of a disaster, you can have a battery for a long time by turning on the "low power mode".The function will be enabled manually if you turn on the "low power mode" switch in the "Battery" of the "Settings" application.

Low power mode can be turned on manually from the setting app (left) or the control center (right)

It is also a good idea to customize the control center from the settings and install the "low power mode" button so that you can switch on and off with this tap operation.

However, if the low power mode is enabled, be careful as the background operation such as downloading data and receiving email will be temporarily suppressed.
