OnePlus: Add Emergency Information to the Lock Screen

If your OnePlus gets lost or you have a medical emergency, first responders often need details fast but the phone stays locked. Without emergency information stored, allergies, blood type or emergency contacts stay invisible on the lock screen. OnePlus lets you display this data without unlocking the device.

Add Emergency Information to Lock Screen auf OnePlus

Emergency information on a OnePlus phone lets first responders read critical medical details directly from the lock screen, without entering a PIN or password.

This includes blood type, allergies, medication, and emergency contacts. The feature sits inside the Security section of OxygenOS and stays separate from your regular lock screen notifications, so it does not expose other personal data.

Where to set it up

Open SettingsSecurity & lock screenEmergency rescueEdit emergency information and contacts. From there, Choose a category and add the medical information you want visible.

Each category can be filled in separately, so you can add only what feels relevant, for example a chronic condition or a single emergency contact.

Once saved, the information appears through the emergency call screen on the lock screen, reachable without unlocking the phone. This only makes sense if you are comfortable with that data being visible to anyone holding the device, including in a lost-phone scenario.

If you prefer to keep medical details private and only share emergency contacts, you can leave the medical categories empty and fill in contacts only.

Frequently asked questions

Yes, that is the purpose. Once saved through Edit emergency information and contacts, the data shows on the emergency call screen without requiring a PIN or password.
