No one really likes to think about what happens after their death,torrent christine, princess of eroticism but Apple's newest Legacy Contact feature kinda forces you to wrestle with what happens to your data post mortem.
With iOS 15.2, users can add any number of Legacy Contacts, aka trusted people who can access your Apple ID and private information from Apple devices in the event of your death. The contact will have to provide an access key and copy of a death certificate to download and view the data, which may include photos, videos, notes, documents, etc.
If you're ready to plan for the inevitable future, we've got a step-by-step guide on how to set up your Legacy Contacts – but make sure you're reallyready. Remember, this person will have access to everything!
The Legacy Contact feature comes with the latest software update. iOS 15.2 is currently only available in beta, but is expected to be fully released to the public later this year.
At the top of the Settings menu, tap where it says your name. This will take you into your account settings, where you can adjust anything to do with your Apple ID.
The option should be the second from the top.

The first time you select a Legacy Contact, your phone will explain exactly what it is. Tap through these prompts, and it should display your full contact list. From there, select your desired Legacy Contact.
Once you've chosen your contact, Apple will generate an access key, which consists of a QR code and a lengthy string of letters and numbers. Your Legacy Contact will need this to access your data, so choose whether you'd like to message it to them now or print it out to be given to them later on.
And that's it! If you'd like to add more than one Legacy Contact, you can go back to your Settings and repeat the process as needed. If you choose to print out your access key, make sure you arrange for your contact to receive it after your death, otherwise your data could remain locked up forever – but maybe that's a good thing?
