@automaticallyadhd: ep. 9 - automating your life in October ◡̈ Step by step. So easy. 1) open shortcuts app 2 if you have iOS27*, hit plus button at bottom. 3) write something like this: When i receive a text message containing the words LOST PHONE, start playing the song poison on Apple Music. 4) tap edit to customize further like listing approved contacts for this instead of everyone ◡̈ and picking the song. 5) unfortunately this automation doesn’t work well with Spotify. Apple’s automation app unsurprisingly works best with apple’s music app. ᴖ̈ 6) happy phone finding, phone losers! FOLLOW ME AND SAVE THiS! Look in my profile for the full list of automation ideas. Do you automate anything?? Share your ideas in comments. It truly helps others. *if you haven’t updated to iOS27, you should! But you can still do this. Tap the automation tab at the bottom, scroll down to message as the trigger and search for music on the next step!!
You can also add a step between the message and the song where the automation turns the volume up.

Just set this up! It will now play where is my hairbrush from veggietales, turns the volume up and repeats the song, flashlight turns on, and takes a front/back picture and sends that to my husband. For the days when I forgot to charge my watch so I can’t just ding it 😅

I do this! I also have it take a photo with front and back camera and reply with the images. Saved me more than a few times.

I feel like this is an easy question and maybe I should google it!! But can you set this whole automation so someone with an iPhone can tap it and this automation will run?

If your phone is lost how does the person know it’s lost if they are not in the same house as you? 😊
