@techtiff: Your iPhone already knows where it is. I figured it should let me know, too. So I built an Apple Shortcut that automatically checks in whenever it's plugged into a charger. It turns Airplane Mode off, reconnects to cellular, gets its location, takes a photo, and sends everything to me automatically. I only enable it when I'm traveling, but it's one of my favorite practical automations because it gives me one more way to keep track of my phone if it ever ends up somewhere it shouldn't. Download the free Shortcut on my Substack. Link in bio.

Cool idea. You could also setup a deadman’s switch of sorts so if it’s not moved within a 12hr period or so it triggers

People in controlling relationships need to know how to check if this is hidden on their phone to send something to their abuser

How would you modify this if you are traveling internationally and may not want your phone connecting to the data network?

Hm, how about planes? When you are traveling and start to power up phone on plane... It would turn off your plane mode!

I love this idea. But when I try to send it to my email I get this: “The value provided for From in Send Email was invalid.”
