It is not as risky to share photos and videos on our iPhones as it is to share our account passwords. However, it is also important to bequeath our data to people we trust rather than locking it permanently. Therefore, if we pass away suddenly, they will be able to take over our unfinished tasks.
A feature in the iPhone called Digital Legacy allows us to share our data with five contacts. Among the data your users can access are iCloud Photos, Notes, Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Messages in iCloud, Call history, Files stored in iCloud Drive, Health Data, Voice Memos, Safari Bookmarks, and Reading Lists. They will have access to our data for three years before it is permanently deleted.
Since we never know how long we will live in this world, we should make a backup plan such as choosing someone we trust to access our data on our iPhone if we suddenly pass away. Getting your data back isn’t as easy as it sounds. They must submit a request to Apple and they have to have a copy of your death certificate. As long as you are alive, they can’t access your data.
