I setup my medical id info on my iphone 5. And it doesn't show up in the emergency lock screen. All the information is saved and filled out.

I found something! Finally, I had the same issue on my Iphone SE.


1. Turn on Iphone to lock screen

2. Press home button once

3. It will show the "Enter pass-code or Fingerprint" and it will also say "Emergency Call" or just "Emergency".tap on that button.

4. It will open the call screen for Emergency Services, look down by the green phone icon and it will say in red

" * Medical ID". Tap on that.


I finally figured this out, very helpful website: https://www.imore.com/how-make-emergency-call-locked-iphone

Hello, mspeiffer.


Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.


I understand that you're Medical ID information is not showing on the lock screen. I would need a little more information on how you are attempting to access your Medical ID information. However, I would double check to make sure that you are going through the steps below to access this information.


Medical ID

With iPhone, you can personalize your Medical ID to keep your important health information in case of emergency.

Tap Medical ID. Then tap Edit to add information such as birthdate, height, weight, and blood type. You can also add emergency contacts.

Turn on Show When Locked to make your Medical ID available from the Lock screen. This lets people helping you in an emergency get important information about you. They'll also be able to contact people you've entered as emergency contacts.

Here's how to access Medical ID when your device is locked:

  1. Swipe to unlock.
  2. Tap Emergency.
