Since iOS 12 , the iPhone has added Favorites, with which you can add your favorite contacts to access even when the phone screen is locked. Currently the contact list is displaying a maximum of 8 phone numbers in your Favorites while on the lock screen and we can sort the priority of the contacts as best as possible.
Perhaps this is a very useful feature that not everyone knows, besides the SOS feature in the lock screen, you can make calls or text messages according to your own previous settings. When adding a phone number to your favorites, you can choose to allow texting or calling. So when you have a job or want to make a quick call you can quickly make it without having to unlock the iPhone as usual. Below we will guide you in detail how to call or text when your iPhone is locked.
Note: Your iPhone must be in a mode that allows access from the screen when the device is locked at Settings -> Touch ID & Password and Turn on the Today View feature.
