My Emergency
Put your essentials on your lock screen
If you can't speak for yourself, the people helping you can see what matters — without unlocking your phone. Fill in a few details, save the picture, and set it as your lock screen.
It stays on this phone. What you type is never sent anywhere — not to us, not to Apple or Google. The picture is made right here on your device.
Your details
A lock screen only has room for a few things a helper must know in seconds — keep every line short. Leave anything blank that doesn't apply.
Who to call for you

The clock and time come from your phone — your details sit below them.
Filling this in on a computer?
The picture can only be saved on the phone itself. Fill it in here, then show the code to the phone's camera — the same details open on the phone, ready to save. The details ride inside the code; they're never uploaded anywhere.
Open the phone's camera and point it at this code, then tap the link that appears. The form opens on the phone already filled in — save the picture there.
Save it to your phone
Set it as your lock screen
On an iPhone
- Tap Save the picture. A menu slides up — choose Save Image. The picture goes to your Photos. (If no menu appears, press and hold the picture on this page and tap “Add to Photos”.)
- Open Photos and tap the picture.
- Tap the share button (the square with an arrow), then Use as Wallpaper.
- Tap Done, then Set as Wallpaper Pair (or "Set Lock Screen").
On an Android phone
- Save the picture above.
- Open Photos (or Gallery) and tap the picture.
- Tap the menu (⋮), then Use as or Set as wallpaper.

Steps vary a little by phone — look for "Set as wallpaper" and pick the lock screen.
This is a prompt for help, not a medical device and not a guarantee. It shows to anyone who picks up the phone — which is the point in an emergency, but it isn't private. It does not replace calling 999, a medical‑alert bracelet, or your phone's own emergency features. Please keep it up to date.
