Our mobile has become the fastest and most useful means of communication we have. Today it is even possible to make payments with your mobile. That is why we have many security options that prevent someone from stealing from us. However, in an emergency, we will not care so much that nobody uses our credit cards, as the fact that they can contact our trusted person. So let's see how add an emergency contact in the android lock screen.
Emergency contact
Sure you know well the AA contacts. These contacts became fashionable so that the emergency services were able to easily locate on our mobile who to contact in case they had to attend to us and we were unconscious. They only had to access the phonebook, and locate the first contacts that would appear with AA. AA Mom, or AA Dad. Or something like that. However, with mobiles that have become our bank account, we have complex access options such as a PIN, a password, our fingerprint, or even the iris of our eye. Thus the things, these contacts no longer serve. Or if?
Well actually yes, because we still have the possibility of setting up an emergency contact. On Settings, we can find within the section Lock screen, or in the section Security, a fact that is Owner information, which we can configure to be seen even with the screen locked. This is where we can configure an AA emergency contact that the emergency services will recognize at a first glance and that will make it easy to contact our families.
Medical data or mobile recovery
Likewise, we can also use the section Owner information to talk about possible alegrĂas or other medical data that may be relevant, such as medicines that we are taking and that could generate adverse effects with a certain treatment. In case of being unconscious, this could also be key.
We even have the opportunity to write our phone number so that if we lose our mobile, and if someone finds our lost mobile and wants to return it to us, they know how they can get it.
As we have already said, this option is in Settings> Lock Screen / Security> Owner Information. And it is a native option in almost all Android mobiles since the version 4.4 Android KitKat.
