Who’s phone is this?

I’m running the latest version of IOS 14 on iPhone 11 & I’m trying to set my phone up to where Siri will display my contact card when I ask it “who’s phone is this?”. I’ve linked my contact information to Siri & enabled Siri during the Lock Screen but when I press the power button & ask it “who’s phone is this?” It just says “I believe this iPhone belongs to Alan” and doesn’t actually show the contact card or any information about me that I filled in under my contact card info. I’ve tried everything and can’t get my information to display correctly! Any tips?

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Interesting. I always thought the way it worked was a security hole. You can set up a medical ID that will display when someone taps Emergency on the password screen. You can put contact information in your medical ID, along with emergency contacts.

Thanks for the tip! I actually do have my medical ID card filled out and I guess if my phone were ever to get lost, if someone cared to return it, they could look under that and get the number to call for my significant other. As far as a security hole well I don’t have much information filled out under my contact card to display for the whole world to see. Just my name and a simple message to anyone who finds my phone to please call my partners phone number to get in touch with me. I would like for that to display so people could see the message simply and know exactly what to do but as stated above my phone literally just says my name and nothing else when you ask it who’s phone is this & that’s not much to go off of for someone who doesn’t know me! Haha

Also, if your phone is lost you can log in to https://icloud.com/find and put it in Lost mode. You would have the option to display a message on the screen, including how to contact you.

And while you were sensible about your contact card, a lot of people don’t realize the risk associated with the feature. I hadn’t realized that Apple changed this, but it should protect a lot of users.

Glad to hear they've finally plugged that hole.
