The traditional ICE abbreviation is not necessarily any use today. DNA tells how information should be marked so that it can help in an emergency, even in theory.
Each smartphone owner should learn how to properly add the emergency contact person. The only ICE labeling is not beneficial in an emergency. Jaakko Stenroos/AOP
Many Finns have marked so-called ICE contacts in their phone contact information. The abbreviation comes from the English expression in case of emergency and means an emergency.
Although there is a beautiful idea in the background to facilitate the work of the authority in the event of an unconscious state itself, the old -fashioned way is no longer necessarily helpful today.
– With smartphones, that practice is helpless, DNA’s Mobile Business Director Mikko Valtonen warns in the bulletin.
The reason is security, which is at a completely different level on smartphones than on traditional mobile phones. Two -phase access codes, safety patterns, and face and fingerprint identification make sure that outsiders cannot access the data contained in the device. From the point of view of the device, the rescue authority is also external.
However, ICE data is an exception to the rule that it can be added to both the Android and iOS so that the data can be read when the device is locked. In addition, you can also call the emergency number on a locked phone.
This is how you add Ice data with Android
In Android devices, the method of increasing ICE contact varies by manufacturer and system version, but the basic idea is the same, according to DNA.
Google’s guide states that adding with newer software versions will be done by selecting Settings> Safety and Emergency Situations> Emergency Conductors.
It is also possible to add text such as names, phone numbers or health information to the lock screen Settings> Display> Lock screen> Add text to the lock screen.
This is how you add ICE data on iPhone
IPhone’s emergency connector will be increased by Apple’s instructions through the Health app by selecting Summary> Profile Image> SOS information> ICE contacts> Edit> Add ICE contact information.
You can add information to the selected contact as to whether a person is, for example, a spouse, a relative or a friend. You can also add personal health information from illness to medication and allergies to your SOS information.
Data out of the unlocked lock
On an Android phone, an emergency contact person can be displayed as you swipe the locking box up and click on Emergency call. In the menu that opens, you can not only call the local emergency number, but also contact the ICE contacts selected by the owner.
The data from the locked iPhone can be displayed Emergencythrough the button and by selecting after SOS. This button is also displayed when the device asks for the access code.
