Huawei: Add Emergency Information to Lock Screen

If paramedics or first responders need your medical details during an emergency, they usually cannot unlock your Huawei phone to check them. Emergency information stored in Security settings solves this by staying visible on the lock screen without a passcode. Without it set up, rescue teams have no quick way to see your name, address or medical conditions.

Add Emergency Information auf Huawei

Rescue teams lose valuable time if they cannot unlock a phone to check for allergies, blood type or emergency contacts. Huawei stores this data separately from your lock code in Security settings, so anyone can view it from the lock screen without unlocking the device.

Where to find the setting

Open SettingsSecurityEmergency SOSEmergency information to add your details. From there you can enter your name, home address, medical conditions, allergies, current medication and emergency contacts.

This information appears on the lock screen only when someone taps the emergency call option, not during normal use. It does not replace calling emergency services directly, since operators still need your location and situation description.

Because the data is readable without a passcode, avoid adding anything beyond what first responders genuinely need. You can update or delete any field later through the same menu path.

Frequently asked questions

Yes. Anyone can tap the emergency call option on the lock screen and open the stored details without entering your passcode.
