Star on contacts on my iphone?

I have one contact listed that has a star to the right of the phone number. Previously, this was identified here as a favorite. However, this is not one of my favorites and my favorites don't have a star. So, what does this star indicate? I have an iPhone 11 and am current on updates.

iPhone 11, iOS 15

That star should be RED in color. This indicates that the contact is listed as an Emergency Contact. The emergency contact appears on your Medical ID.

  3. Tap Edit, then scroll to Emergency Contacts.
  4. Tap the Add button  to add an emergency contact.
  5. Tap a contact, then add their relationship.

You can't set emergency services as an SOS contact.
