The Digital Legacy Program, which allows users to access their Apple ID accounts and specify who can download data after their death, was announced as a new feature in iOS 15 and will operate in iOS 15.2 Beta 2. The screen has been published. The Japanese version of iOS 15.3 Public Beta 2 and later has also added a "Dead Account Management Contact " menu, and the recently released iOS 15.2 Beta 3 (also Public Beta 3) has expanded the range of access. increase. In addition, Apple has previously disclosed how the bereaved family etc. can access the data after the death of the user. Previously , a court order was required to appoint a person who has the right to inherit the personal information of the deceased, but the "Digital Heritage Program" allows users to make their own choices.
Access key and death certificate required to access data
You can access "Dead Account Management Contacts" from "Passwords and Security" by tapping the user name displayed at the top when you open the "Settings" app. The "Dead Account Management Contacts" menu shows a menu to add people who can access your account, the deceased account management contacts you added, and friends and family who added you as a deceased account management contact. Will be done. Tap "Add deceased account management contact" to see the following instructions.
After user authentication with Face ID or Touch ID, if there is a family member who has set up family sharing, it will be displayed as a candidate on the screen to add a deceased account management contact. Tap "Choose someone else" to see your contacts so you can search and select them.
When you select a deceased account management contact, the "Access to Digital Heritage" screen is displayed, showing what the deceased account management contact can and cannot do. Data you can access includes photos, messages, notes, files, contacts, calendar events, downloaded apps, device backups, and more. Inaccessible data includes iCloud Keychain and licensed media. In addition, at the stage of public beta 3, even if you tap "Detailed information", it will jump to Apple's support page (English version). On the next screen, you can select Send Message or Print Copy as the access key sharing method required to access the data. If you select "Message", you can send a message to notify the other party. You can also edit the message. If you select "Print copy", you can print the access key including the 2D barcode on the printer that can be connected with AirPrint. Please note that the "support.apple.com/digital-legacy" mentioned in this paper is also inaccessible at the time of this writing. The access key consists of a combination of 22 four alphanumers . At the time of writing this article, even if you scan this 2D barcode with your iPhone, "No search results were found" is displayed. When the access key sharing is completed, "The deceased account contact has been added" is displayed. You will also be prompted that your birthday will be used as confirmation information to access your account data. Tap "Update Birthday" to check your date of birth in the "Settings" app. By repeating the same procedure, you can set multiple deceased account management contacts. By tapping the registered deceased account contact, you can display the access key to access the data of your account, and you can also print a copy from here.
What happens to the added partner?
If you click on the message that arrives at the person you added as a deceased account management contact, the screen "Added as a deceased account management contact" will be displayed. The person who received this message without notice seems to be quite surprised . It seems better to tell in advance or edit the message so as not to surprise you. In Public Beta 3, tapping "More Information" will take you to Apple's support page as before. The added person can find out who is set as the deceased account management contact by opening the "Dead Account Management Contact" menu in the "Settings" app. You can also remove yourself from your deceased account management contacts. You can then access the "Digital Heritage" web page by accessing "https://digital-legacy.apple.com" on the printed access key. On this page, you can request the right to access the deceased's account as a deceased account management contact, or you can request the right to access, which allows you to deactivate and unlock your device. Tap "Request access rights" and you'll be prompted to log in with your Apple ID. The next screen prompts you for the first 32 characters of the access key. At the time of writing this article, even if I entered the access key, an error occurred and the request could not be sent.
