The update allows you to designate people as “legacy contacts” so they can access your account and personal information in the event of your death. To prevent the need for this, lawyers advise making “digital wills” that identify executors who can manage your digital estate. Some platforms, such as Facebook and Google, already allow users to nominate someone who can access their account after their death, known as legacy contacts or trusted contacts. It will also not allow access to a passcode-locked device, so this should be included in a digital will if you want someone to inherit your tech hardware. The feature is one of a range of new additions that will transform the way Apple products work once iOS 15 arrives.
