Apple Digital Legacy App Store Listing in Simplified Chinese — Legacy Contact, 数字遗产 & 遗产联系人 zh-Hans Copy

Who this is for

Western indie iOS estate-planning, family-archive, privacy, and digital-asset continuity app developers — US, UK, EU, Canada, Australia — who:

• Market Apple Digital Legacy — designated Legacy Contacts who can access a deceased person's Apple Account data after death or incapacity via Apple's Digital Legacy program under Settings → Sign-In & Security → Legacy Contact
• Describe Legacy Contact, Add Legacy Contact, Digital Legacy, access key, post-death iCloud data access, or Ultra Digital Legacy on the en-US product page with terms like 数字遗产, 遗产联系人, 添加遗产联系人, 访问密钥, or 身故后访问 iCloud 数据 in mind for China buyers
• Finished honest Digital Legacy positioning or Legacy Contact enrollment documentation in the US listing — not looking for estate legal review, access-key custody engineering, or Apple ID API integration help here
• Enabled the China App Store but the zh-Hans row is empty, machine-translated, or still English on Digital Legacy gallery frames
• Need paste-ready Connect text — not an estate attorney, not an engineer for post-death data access servers, not a designer to re-export every screenshot from scratch

If your lead feature is Recovery Contact — a trusted person who helps regain Apple ID access when the password is forgotten while the account holder is alive — that is a separate Sign-In & Security option with 恢复联系人 vocabulary; see Recovery Contact listing (zh-Hans). If you market a 28-character Recovery Key, see Recovery Key listing (zh-Hans). If you market Find My device locate or Lost Mode, see Find My listing (zh-Hans) — not post-death iCloud data access. If the entire China page is still English on every field, start with China App Store still shows English or the AppLocale product page.

Digital Legacy enrollment vs zh-Hans listing copy — two different jobs

Teams assume Digital Legacy awareness covers storefront language. Legacy Contact enrollment and App Store Connect actually separate account behavior from product-page copy:

• Legacy Contact on the Apple Account — optional Digital Legacy designation under Settings → [your name] → Sign-In & Security → Legacy Contact. The user nominates trusted people and shares an access key. After death verification, Legacy Contacts may request access to photos, notes, documents, and other iCloud content. System account behavior — outside AppLocale scope.
• Access key generation and sharing — Apple generates an access key during Legacy Contact enrollment that the user must share with their Legacy Contact offline. Your listing may explain why buyers should designate 遗产联系人; AppLocale does not generate or hold access keys for buyers.
• Digital Legacy marketing on the product page — description paragraphs, subtitle positioning, keywords, promotional text, and screenshot overlays that tell buyers your app aligns with Apple Digital Legacy, documents Add Legacy Contact workflows, or educates about post-death iCloud data access. Connect text fields — this page.
• Pricing and Availability → China — makes the app downloadable on the China storefront. Separate from language rows.
• App Store tab → Chinese (Simplified) localization — independent row for title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text, and screenshot caption lines. Empty or English here means China buyers see English fallback regardless of Digital Legacy education claims in the app.

An estate-aware app and a localized China listing are both valuable — neither replaces the other. AppLocale covers how you describe Apple Digital Legacy and Legacy Contact enrollment on the store page, not whether your code performs estate legal workflows or nominates Legacy Contacts for buyers.

Digital Legacy vs Recovery Contact vs Recovery Key — hard disambiguation

Apple groups several account-recovery and continuity stories under Sign-In & Security. Indie teams conflate them on one product page. AppLocale covers Digital Legacy and Legacy Contact listing metadata — post-death iCloud data access — not the sibling features:

• Apple Digital Legacy / Legacy Contact (this page) — designated Legacy Contacts who can request access to a deceased person's Apple Account data after death or incapacity under Settings → Sign-In & Security → Legacy Contact. Gallery frames may show Add Legacy Contact, access key badges, or post-death iCloud data access walkthroughs. zh-Hans terms: 数字遗产, 遗产联系人, 添加遗产联系人, 访问密钥, 身故后访问 iCloud 数据.
• Recovery Contact (different) — trusted person who helps regain Apple ID access when the password is forgotten while the account holder is alive — 恢复联系人 vocabulary under Sign-In & Security → Recovery Contacts. Covered on our Recovery Contact guide — living account lockout recovery, not post-death data access.
• Recovery Key (different) — user-generated 28-character Apple Account recovery key under Sign-In & Security → Recovery Key — 恢复密钥 vocabulary. Covered on our Recovery Key guide — offline backup code, not Legacy Contact designation.
• Two-Factor Authentication (different) — account-level 2FA with trusted devices and verification codes — 双重认证 vocabulary. Covered on our Two-Factor Authentication guide — not Digital Legacy enrollment.
• Advanced Data Protection (different lead story) — end-to-end iCloud encryption under Settings → Apple Account → iCloud → Advanced Data Protection — may mention Recovery Contact or Recovery Key as prerequisites but is a separate iCloud encryption story. See Advanced Data Protection listing when end-to-end iCloud encryption is your hero — not Legacy Contact as the lead claim.

Your gallery may show an Add Legacy Contact walkthrough on one frame and an in-app estate dashboard on the next — but listing copy should name each claim accurately per frame. A Legacy Contact badge is not a Recovery Contact enrollment sheet, not a 28-character Recovery Key generation screen, not a Two-Factor Authentication trusted-device list, and not an Advanced Data Protection iCloud toggle unless that is what the screenshot shows.

Digital Legacy vs Find My, Family Sharing, Family Setup, iCloud+, and Screen Time

Apple groups several family, locate, and subscription features across Settings. Indie teams conflate them on one product page. AppLocale covers Digital Legacy and Legacy Contact marketing on listing metadata — not the other features:

• Find My (different) — device locate, Lost Mode, and item tracking on a map — 查找 vocabulary. Covered on our Find My guide — locate a lost iPhone on a map, not post-death iCloud data access for estate continuity.
• Family Sharing (different) — shared App Store purchases, subscriptions, iCloud storage pool, and family organizer controls — 家人共享 vocabulary. Covered on our Family Sharing guide — living family purchase sharing, not Legacy Contact after death.
• Family Setup (different) — Apple Watch for children or family members without their own iPhone — 家庭设置 vocabulary. Covered on our Family Setup guide — Watch for kids, not Digital Legacy enrollment.
• iCloud+ (different) — paid iCloud storage tiers, Private Relay, Hide My Email, and Custom Email Domain — iCloud+ vocabulary. Covered on our iCloud+ guide — storage and privacy add-ons, not post-death data access.
• Screen Time (different) — app limits, downtime, and parental controls — 屏幕使用时间 vocabulary. Covered on our Screen Time guide — parental controls, not estate planning.
• iCloud Photos, Notes, and generic iCloud sync (different) — personal library sync, note continuity, and app-data sync — not Digital Legacy enrollment. See contrast guides when those are your lead features.

Estate-planning apps may mention several Apple continuity features across one description — but each gallery frame and keyword should match the feature the screenshot actually shows. An Add Legacy Contact overlay is not a Find My map pin, not a Family Sharing purchase-sharing pitch, not a Family Setup Watch-for-child walkthrough, not an iCloud+ storage tier badge, and not a Screen Time app-limit toggle.

What Apple Digital Legacy actually does — listing honesty

Apple Digital Legacy lets users designate Legacy Contacts who can request access to Apple Account data after the user's death or incapacity. Under Settings → [your name] → Sign-In & Security → Legacy Contact, users nominate trusted people and share an access key. After Apple verifies a death or incapacity request, Legacy Contacts may access photos, notes, documents, and other iCloud content the deceased person stored. Third-party apps may complement this by educating buyers, documenting Add Legacy Contact steps, or aligning privacy UX with estate and digital-asset workflows. AppLocale rewrites listing copy from what your US page already claims:

• If your app educates about Digital Legacy — zh-Hans copy can describe why buyers should designate 遗产联系人, what an 访问密钥 means, or how Legacy Contact protects digital-asset continuity — without claiming your app nominates Legacy Contacts or holds access keys for buyers.
• If your app aligns with estate workflows — description and screenshot overlays should name the continuity benefits you deliver (数字遗产, 遗产联系人, 身故后访问 iCloud 数据) in commerce-idiomatic Chinese, not generic "never lose your memories" overclaims.
• Separate Digital Legacy from Recovery Contact and Recovery Key in copy — Recovery Contact is password-forgotten account recovery while alive (恢复联系人); Recovery Key is the 28-character offline backup (恢复密钥); Digital Legacy is post-death iCloud data access through Legacy Contacts (数字遗产, 遗产联系人). Listing vocabulary must follow your English lead feature and gallery frames.
• If your US page overclaims — AppLocale aligns zh-Hans strings to your English source; we do not invent broader Digital Legacy scope than your screenshots and description support, and we do not claim Legacy Contact guarantees successful post-death data retrieval or substitutes for estate legal planning.

Clear zh-Hans copy helps estate-conscious buyers understand your Digital Legacy story before install. It does not replace estate legal review, access-key engineering in the binary, or Apple's review decisions — and it must not provide legal advice.

Where English Digital Legacy copy shows on the China product page

Estate-planning, family-archive, and privacy apps often lead marketing screenshots with Legacy Contact enrollment UI, access key badges, or post-death iCloud data access positioning — surfaces where English marketing text appears beside Sign-In & Security settings:

• Screenshot overlay badges — "Legacy Contact", "Add Legacy Contact", "Digital Legacy", "Access key", "Access iCloud data after death", "Ultra Digital Legacy", "Estate planning for Apple Account" on gallery frames
• Description paragraphs — English value props ("Built for Apple Digital Legacy", "Documents Add Legacy Contact setup", "Help families access iCloud data after loss") that China readers skim past
• Subtitle and keywords — English-only rows miss China Search intent for 数字遗产, 遗产联系人, 添加遗产联系人, or Legacy Contact when buyers filter for estate-planning apps
• Promotional text — 170-character field still pitching Digital Legacy in English above the description
• Mixed page — Chinese description pasted once but Digital Legacy screenshot captions and subtitle still English — reads unfinished next to localized competitors
• Formal machine translation — stiff 翻译腔 that uses literal 遗产联系 instead of Apple's official 遗产联系人, conflates 遗产联系人 with 恢复联系人 (Recovery Contact) or 家人共享 (Family Sharing), or bleeds Find My 查找 vocabulary from unrelated locate products

Better zh-Hans listing copy helps estate-conscious buyers understand your Digital Legacy story before install. It does not replace Digital Legacy runtime integration, estate legal workflows, or Apple's review decisions.

Digital Legacy–specific vocabulary — what translates differently in zh-Hans

Estate and digital-asset marketing on App Store pages uses vocabulary general localization guides rarely cover. zh-Hans copy should reflect how Chinese App Store readers evaluate Apple Digital Legacy — not a literal paste of US marketing:

设置 → [你的姓名] → 登录与安全性 → 遗产联系人

Apple's Chinese Settings path is 设置 → [你的姓名] → 登录与安全性 → 遗产联系人. Screenshot walkthroughs and caption lines should mirror that path — not English "Sign-In & Security" badges alone, not 查找 (Find My), and not 家人共享 (Family Sharing). AppLocale uses the labels buyers see on a zh-Hans iPhone when your English gallery shows the Legacy Contact toggle or Add Legacy Contact enrollment sheet.

数字遗产 (Digital Legacy)

Apple's program name and the commerce term Chinese buyers search for post-death iCloud data access is 数字遗产. Ultra Digital Legacy badges on your US gallery should map to 数字遗产 or 超数字遗产 depending on your English source — not literal 数字遗留, which reads like machine translation.

遗产联系人 (Legacy Contact)

Apple's official zh-Hans label for the designated person who can request post-death Apple Account data access is 遗产联系人. Commerce copy may also use 数字遗产联系人 when buyers search those terms — but do not substitute 恢复联系人, which is Recovery Contact for password-forgotten account recovery while alive. Never substitute 家人 or 家庭成员 alone — Family Sharing uses different vocabulary.

添加遗产联系人 (Add Legacy Contact)

When your English subtitle or description says "Add Legacy Contact" as part of Digital Legacy enrollment, zh-Hans buyers expect 添加遗产联系人 or 设置遗产联系人 on enrollment walkthrough frames. Do not substitute 添加恢复联系人 (Add Recovery Contact), 生成恢复密钥 (Generate Recovery Key), or 开启家人共享 (Turn On Family Sharing) — those belong on sibling pages.

访问密钥 (Access key)

US pages use "Access key for your Legacy Contact" or "Share your access key." China marketing uses 访问密钥 or 遗产访问密钥 on key-sharing education frames. Do not substitute 恢复密钥 (Recovery Key) or 验证码 (verification code) — those belong on sibling pages.

Subtitle and keyword packing

The 30-character subtitle and 100-character keyword field need Digital Legacy search terms Chinese buyers type — see Simplified Chinese keywords & subtitle for field mechanics. Terms like 数字遗产, 遗产联系人, and 添加遗产联系人 each signal different intent from 恢复联系人 (Recovery Contact), 恢复密钥 (Recovery Key), 查找 (Find My), or 家人共享 (Family Sharing).

Caption lines vs burned-in badges

Marketing screenshot overlays you control — "Add Legacy Contact" headlines on gallery frames showing 设置 → 登录与安全性 → 遗产联系人 — are separate caption fields or burned-in PNG text. See Screenshot captions in Simplified Chinese for caption-field mechanics when overlays are editable in Connect.

Before / after — Digital Legacy listing phrases (en-US → zh-Hans)

Concrete examples AppLocale rewrites from your English source — not Recovery Contact, Recovery Key, or Find My copy:

• Screenshot caption — Before: Add Legacy Contact → After: 添加遗产联系人
• Settings walkthrough caption — Before: Settings → Sign-In & Security → Legacy Contact → After: 设置 → [你的姓名] → 登录与安全性 → 遗产联系人
• Description line — Before: Designate a Legacy Contact to access your iCloud data after death. → After: 指定遗产联系人，以便在你身故后访问 iCloud 数据。
• Subtitle (30 chars) — Before: Apple Digital Legacy → After: Apple 数字遗产
• Screenshot caption — Before: Share your access key → After: 分享访问密钥
• Keyword field — Before: Digital Legacy,Legacy Contact,Add Legacy Contact,estate planning,iCloud after death → After: 数字遗产,遗产联系人,添加遗产联系人,访问密钥,身故后iCloud,Apple数字遗产
• Promotional text — Before: Now documents Apple Digital Legacy setup → After: 现已说明 Apple 数字遗产设置

Final phrasing depends on your English claims, Digital Legacy surfaces on gallery frames, and Connect character caps. See Promotional text in Simplified Chinese when your estate-planning pitch lives in promo text rather than the long description.

Common mistakes on Digital Legacy zh-Hans listings

• Leaving "Legacy Contact" untranslated — Apple and buyers expect 遗产联系人 in zh-Hans regions; English-only overlay lines on otherwise Chinese copy looks unfinished
• Conflating 遗产联系人 with 恢复联系人 — 恢复联系人 and 添加恢复联系人 belong on the Recovery Contact guide; Legacy Contact is post-death data access — never mix the two on one caption line
• Conflating Digital Legacy with Recovery Key — 恢复密钥 and 28 位恢复密钥 belong on the Recovery Key guide; Digital Legacy is Legacy Contact designation and post-death iCloud access
• Conflating Digital Legacy with Find My — 查找, 丢失模式, and map-locate vocabulary belong on the Find My guide; Digital Legacy is estate continuity after death, not device locate on a map
• Conflating Digital Legacy with Family Sharing or Family Setup — 家人共享 and 家庭设置 belong on sibling guides; Legacy Contact is not shared purchases or Watch-for-child setup
• Using literal 遗产联系 — machine-translation phrasing that does not match Apple's official 遗产联系人 Settings label
• Overpromising post-death data access outcomes — honest copy describes what your app does when buyers designate Legacy Contacts; we do not guarantee successful data retrieval or substitute for estate legal planning
• Assuming Digital Legacy education localizes the store page — in-app content and App Store metadata are independent workstreams

What AppLocale delivers for Digital Legacy apps on zh-Hans

This SKU is a listing rewrite scoped to Apple Digital Legacy and Legacy Contact marketing — paste-ready fields you copy into App Store Connect:

• Name (title) — zh-Hans app name within Connect character limits when your English title does not signal 数字遗产 to China searchers
• Subtitle — concise benefit line that can reference Digital Legacy or Legacy Contact without stuffing raw English badge text
• Keywords — zh-Hans search terms buyers use for 数字遗产, 遗产联系人, 添加遗产联系人, 访问密钥, and estate-planning utility terms in your category
• Description — long listing body with clear zh-Hans paragraphs on Digital Legacy and Legacy Contact features you already ship — without English-only estate jargon
• Promotional text — when you include the 170-character promo field in scope
• Screenshot overlay / caption lines — short zh-Hans text on gallery images that show Digital Legacy UI ("数字遗产", "遗产联系人", "添加遗产联系人", "访问密钥")
• English alignment — matching en-US field notes when both storefronts must stay consistent on Digital Legacy promises

We map deliverables to the fields you actually use. Send every English overlay line and description paragraph that mentions Digital Legacy, Legacy Contact, Add Legacy Contact, access key, or post-death iCloud data access — we deliver counted strings that fit Connect limits. We rewrite what you already claim on the US page; we do not invent estate features your app does not ship.

Connect checklist before you order Digital Legacy listing copy

1. Open App Store → Chinese (Simplified) — confirm the zh-Hans localization row exists; adding China under Pricing and Availability alone does not fill it
2. Audit five text fields — name, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text (if used) saved in zh-Hans, not placeholder English
3. List screenshot frames that show Digital Legacy UI — note which gallery images show Settings → Sign-In & Security → Legacy Contact, Add Legacy Contact enrollment, or access key sharing so caption lines match frame order
4. Export current English captions — overlay text from Connect or your design spreadsheet, including any "Legacy Contact", "Digital Legacy", "Add Legacy Contact", or "Access key" boilerplate
5. Confirm feature scope honestly — note whether your app educates about the system toggle, documents Add Legacy Contact steps, or aligns UX with estate workflows — so zh-Hans copy does not overclaim Legacy Contact nomination your app does not deliver
6. Separate Digital Legacy from Recovery Contact and Find My in your intake — if your English listing mixes all three, flag which frames are Digital Legacy vs Recovery Contact vs Find My so zh-Hans copy stays accurate
7. Skip legal and engineering tasks here — estate legal review, access-key custody, post-death data access servers, and Legacy Contact nomination stay with your legal and dev teams

AppLocale FAQ

What is Apple Digital Legacy and why does listing copy matter?

Digital Legacy lets users designate Legacy Contacts under Settings → Sign-In & Security → Legacy Contact. After death verification, Legacy Contacts may request access to photos, notes, documents, and other iCloud content. Marketing that awareness on your en-US page does not auto-fill zh-Hans Connect fields.

Does mentioning Digital Legacy auto-translate my China listing?

No. Digital Legacy is a system Apple Account setting on the buyer's account — it does not create or fill a Simplified Chinese localization row. Empty or English zh-Hans fields mean China buyers see en-US fallback on the product page.

What listing fields does AppLocale rewrite for Digital Legacy apps?

Paste-ready Simplified Chinese (zh-Hans) copy for App Store Connect listing fields you specify: title, subtitle, keywords, description, promotional text when included, and screenshot overlay or caption lines that mention Digital Legacy, Legacy Contact, Add Legacy Contact, access key, or post-death iCloud data access — rewritten from your English originals with terms like 数字遗产, 遗产联系人, and 访问密钥 where accurate.

How is this different from Recovery Contact?

Recovery Contact is a trusted person who helps regain Apple ID access when the password is forgotten while the account holder is alive — 恢复联系人 vocabulary. Digital Legacy is post-death iCloud data access through designated Legacy Contacts — 数字遗产 and 遗产联系人 vocabulary. See Recovery Contact listing (zh-Hans) when living account lockout recovery is your lead — not this page.

How is this different from Find My or Family Sharing?

Find My is device locate and Lost Mode on a map — 查找 vocabulary. Family Sharing is shared purchases and subscriptions among living family members — 家人共享 vocabulary. Digital Legacy is Legacy Contact designation and post-death iCloud data access — 数字遗产 vocabulary. See Find My listing or Family Sharing listing when those are your lead features.

Does AppLocale nominate Legacy Contacts or perform estate legal review?

No. We deliver listing metadata copy only. Legacy Contact nomination, access-key generation, death-certificate submission, and estate legal workflows are outside AppLocale scope. We rewrite how you describe existing Digital Legacy features on the store page.

What character limits apply to zh-Hans Digital Legacy fields?

App name and subtitle are each up to 30 characters. Keywords allow up to 100 characters. Description and screenshot caption lines have longer limits but should stay concise — especially overlays that must fit on-device mockups.

What do I send after payment?

Your live App Store listing URL, current English listing copy, screenshot overlay lines mentioning Digital Legacy or Legacy Contact, target locales (e.g. zh-Hans), and deadline. Reply from the email address on your Stripe receipt.

Is this machine translation?

No. We rewrite Digital Legacy listing copy by hand using Apple's official 数字遗产 and 遗产联系人 vocabulary — not literal 遗产联系, not 恢复联系人, and not Find My 查找 bleed. We do not paste Google Translate or ChatGPT output into deliverables.
