Emergency contact list
I want to add a new emergency contact. I go to add and says I’ve reached my limit and to remove one. I’ve removed several and still won’t let me add a new one. Keeps saying the same thing, reached my limit and to delete one.

If you still aren't able to add emergency contacts, make sure your iPhone is updated to the latest software version, which is iOS 16.3. You can check the currently installed version by going to Settings > General > About > Software Version.

If you still need help adding emergency contacts, you'll want to reach out to Apple's Health Support team directly. They're best-equipped to take a closer look and provide some additional guidance. This link will help you get started: Contact - Official Apple Support
