The Apple Digital Legacy Program is a type of Power of Attorney. A person will be able to decide to whom his digital assets (such as photos, videos, and documents) should be transferred after his death. In this program of Apple, the person has to suggest the names of any 5 people before his death. These 5 people can be anyone. No one needs to be from your relative or family. Apple will hand over iCloud digital data to the 5 people you recommend. However, these people will have to produce the person’s death certificate.
Here’s how you can set up your Apple Legacy Contacts:
STEP1: To use this service, you must first upgrade your iOS to 15.2. If you haven’t already done so, upgrade your phone first.
