Good to know

  • Anyone who picks up your phone can see this. Only include what a first responder needs.

If it doesn't work

The clock covers part of the card
Make the card again and check the preview. Pick a wallpaper position that keeps the card below the clock, and leave the widgets row empty.
Nothing was saved to Photos
SecureKeep only saves when you tap Save image. If your phone asked to add to Photos and you said no, allow it for SecureKeep in your phone's Settings and try again.
I changed my details
The picture doesn't update by itself. Make a new card and set it as your wallpaper again.
