@techtiff: If your iPhone goes missing, it should check in. Inside Shortcuts, create an automation that runs whenever your phone connects to a charger. Have it grab your location, take a photo, and send the information wherever you want. Now your iPhone can let you know where it is automatically.
Is there a way to only have this run when it’s… not near you? Or a way so you don’t get these emails every time you charge it

I wonder if you can add an “IF” statement to see if your phone is not at home or work before running so you don’t get a bunch of emails when charging from home. Also, maybe also start by dimming your display, running and then turn the brightness back up to hide the photo taking notification.

But you have to hit send for the message or email. I’ve set up a simple “dinner is ready” automation but I still have to physically send the message.

If my phone is stolen, it does me no good to text me where it is. I need to have it send info to my wife’s phone

I just went to set this up and just learned that with the new Siri we can now describe our shortcuts/automations and it creates it for us 😭😭 my life has been made 🥰

I still get a very brief “banner”. Have everything ticked right and did ye olde googley search. It says screen time has a notification setting for shortcuts but that is a lie. It’s not a huge deal because it works as advertised. Any ideas?
