Starting with iOS 15.2, iPadOS 15.2, and macOS 12.1, you can add deceased account management contacts for your Apple ID. iOS 15.2: How to Share Access Keys If you want someone to trust the data stored in your Apple account after your death, it's best to add a deceased account management contact. It's an easy and safe way. Target data includes photos, messages, notes, files, downloaded apps, device backups, and more. Access some information (movies, music, books, subscriptions, etc. purchased with your Apple ID) and data stored in your keychain (payment information, passwords, etc.) even if you're a deceased account management contact Can not. The method is as follows. Open Settings and tap your username. Tap "Passwords and Security", then tap "Dead Account Management Contacts". Tap "Add deceased account management contact". Authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or device passcode as needed. If you are in a family shared group, you can select members of the group. Alternatively, you can tap or click "Choose another person" to add someone from the contacts app using that person's phone number or email address.
How to handle important "access keys"
Access keys are very important, and deceased account management contacts cannot apply for access to deceased data unless they have both an access key and a deceased death certificate. After applying, you will also need an access key to set up an Apple ID for your deceased account management contacts and access your deceased's data. The deceased account management contact access key can notify you in the "Messages" app when you add a person. If the other person consents, a copy of the access key is automatically stored in that person's Apple ID settings. If your deceased account management contact request is rejected, you will be notified so you can choose another person. You can print a copy of the access key and hand it over, send a PDF or screenshot of the page, or keep a copy along with the inheritance documents. [MAC Treasure Appraisal Team]
