The family vault

Write down what your family needs to know in an emergency, and choose who can open it, and when.

Trusted family

Under Trusted family, choose who you trust and the Wait before it opens. A trusted person can ask to open your vault in an emergency. You are told, and it opens only after the wait, unless you tap Stop this. Once open, you can Close access at any time.

Shared with me

When family trusts you with their vault, or leaves you a note for a future date, it appears under Shared with me. If someone cannot be reached in an emergency, open their vault there and choose Ask for emergency access.

With a privacy key, vault notes are locked on your phone before they are saved. The family vault is part of the Plus and Family plans.
