Let’s be honest about this: most of us can’t imagine going on an entire day without checking or using our phones. It seems like there’s an app for pretty much anything. We use our phones for anything. From doing simple math to turning ourselves into virtual dogs and cats, we turn to our phones for all kinds of reasons.
Considering all that, it seems baffling that most people are unaware of the fact that a simple tweak on their phones might actually save their lives sometime. Yes, there’s a feature on your iPhone that can help medical staff treat you if you’re ever in a situation where your life is threatened.
The feature is called Medical Id, and it won’t cost you a dime to use it. Knowing just how important this feature can turn out to be in case of an emergency, nurse Julia Thompson posted a message on Facebook urging more people to make this simple change in their phone’s settings.
