How to Add Your Emergency Information in Android Nougat

We lock smartphone devices for security purposes. But bad things may happen anytime. If something happened to you, how can others access your emergency information? I mean your address, emergency contacts and health conditions.

No one can open your phone unless he is a hacker. Don’t expect a hacker always to rescue your life. So always add your ICE details on your device’s lock screen.
