Version History

This is the version history for Medical ID Records.

7.0   November 22, 2022

• Create additional Medical IDs for other family members and dependants.
• The Apple Watch and Widgets only show data from the first Medical ID to minimise confusion. Ensure your own Medical ID is first.

6.4   September 10, 2022

iOS 16 Lock Screen Widgets

• View up to three Personal Details items.
• View a single Emergency Contact.
• Open the app.

6.3   August 2, 2022

• New emergency contact relationship types: sibling, grandmother, grandfather, grandparent, family member, teacher, carer, guardian, social worker, school and day care.

6.0   March 30, 2021

New Style Widgets

• Added highly-customisable iOS/iPadOS 14 widgets. There are six different widgets available, some in two sizes, making nine in total:
• View a single Personal Details item.
• View all Personal Details items.
• View a single Medical Information item.
• View multiple Medical Information items from a section.
• View a single Emergency Contact.
• View multiple Emergency Contacts.
• All the widgets have configuration options, allowing you to choose which information to display.
• Tap a widget to open the app and automatically navigate to the corresponding information. Tapping an emergency contact will also prompt you to call them. These actions require your device to be unlocked.
• The old-style widget can still be used on iOS/iPadOS 14. I don’t recommend using both styles simultaneously unless you want emergency contacts to be callable without unlocking the device.
