Adding ICE info to Lock Screen

[CRitter]

So far I have been unable to figure out how to add In Case of Emergency (ICE) information to the lock screen. The usual Android methods apparently don't work on the S10 and a few others I have found on the internet don't seem to work either. Any help would be appreciated.

TIA

This was all I found on my note 10+ click the power button 3 times

Thanks, but that is SOS, not ICE info. ICE info is meant to be accessed by EMS personnel and can include critical medical information, like a medical history, deceases, allergies, etc. as well as list of docs and such.

I'm looking on the phone didn't find it

The annoying thing is there's a standard sort of way Android phones are suppossed to work with ICE info and how to get to it and how to input it and, of course, Samsung had to come up with something else, whatever that is.

My friends in th3e EMS community are NOT impressed. But why not make it HARDER to save a life, instead of sticking with a standard.

Ok I found it go to the Lock screen dont use fingerprint or password just swipe up tap emergency and on top emergency contact add

That looks promising, but I am apparently not the brightest. Every time I swipe up it opens to the home screen. I am sure there's something I am missing. Thanks for your help.

So you dont have it locked with a fingerprint or password, pin?

Phone was set up for me. Has "phone unlocked by Smart Lock"

 

[CRitter]

When that doesn't work I use my PIN

Gotcha smart lock will keep screen unlocked so u get in the phone easier

 

[mustang7757]

Its has to have some lock I believe to work

 

[CRitter]

So, is there a way to stop it opening so I can set up the ICE info?

Turn smart unlock off temporarily set up lock screen with pin or password and then put ICE contact

Thanks. So, once I get there and tap on Medical Info it says I need to enter that info in Contacts > My Profile... However there is no "My Profile" under Contacts. Do i just create a Contact "My profile"? And, if so, do i do that under the Phone Group or the Google Group?

You create your profile , and add few your emergency contacts.

Unfortunately, that doesn't appear to work as there's no "Emergency Medical Information" option when I create "My Profile"
