No one really likes to think about what happens after their death,Busty Coeds vs Lusty Cheerleaders (2011) 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.

Choose whether you'd like to message or print your access key. Credit: Screenshot: Apple 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?
