Can I create a widget for home screen?

[alant]

hello,
On my last android phone, I was able to put my medical info on the lock screen of my phone. I really like that feature. I filled out the health info on my iPhone, but don’t see how to get it to my lock screen as a widget so others can see it. Is that possible? Thanks.

No it’s not possible to add it as widget to the lock screen. It’s possible to access the information on the lock screen, though, if you’ve enabled “Show on lockscreen”.

Where’s that option?

“Show on lockscreen” is in the Health app, when you edit your Medical ID.

To show the information on the lockscreen:
In Settings - Emergency SOS, disable Call with Side Buttons.
Lock the screen, rapidly tap the Power button 5 times. On the lock screen, you’ll then see “Emergency”. Tap it, then select “Medical ID”.

Pretty complicated, but it worked. Thanks!

You’re welcome.
