[Image and video Description:
The image is a screenshot of a tweet by @/SOFIALIVE. It reads: “please share this it’s so important”. Underneath is a still from the video.
The video is from TikTok, made by a user called @/joshconnects. Visible on the screen is an iPhone open to the home screen and the text “Must have police shortcut IOS 13”. The video is narrated by a male-sounding voice.
The only thing visible on the iPhone’s screen is an app called “shortcuts”.
Narrator: “Here’s a shortcut that’s a must have, and let me tell you what it is. Here we just go to shortcuts, and this is the basic layout”
He clicks the app icon and the shortcuts app opens.
The application has a dark background. At the top of the screen is the app logo. Underneath the logo are the words “add shortcut” and “review the contents of this shortcut”. There are two headings underneath, the first titled “when I run”, and the second “do”.
The first, “when I run”, has one gray box underneath it, for the title of the shortcut to be typed in. The one he has open is called “police”.
The second, “do”, has several gray boxes underneath, each of which has an action to be done if the shortcut is activated. Two are visible on the screen. The first has the logo for the messages app at the top and the command “send text ‘I’m getting pulled over by the cops. It’ll send u a recording of it all after’” followed by an option to add recipients. The second box has the camera app logo at the top, and gives the command “take video with back camera”.
Narrator: “This is how you make a shortcut”
He indicates with his finger the title “police” under the heading “when I run”
Narrator: “so this one is called ‘police’. So I can tell Siri to run this shortcut right when I get pulled over. And then I can set my phone down and do whatever”
He scrolls a little bit further down the page.
Narrator: “what this shortcut does is it sends a text message saying ‘hey, I’m getting pulled over by the cops. I’ll send you a recording of it all afterwards’ to a recipient of your choice. And then afterwards it is going to send the video and the current date to the recipient of your choice.”
The screen now shows the third and last gray box under the heading “do”, which has the messages logo at the top, and dictates the command to send the video and the current date to a recipient of your choosing. Underneath the gray box is a disclaimer from Apple saying: “Apple does not review shortcuts outside of the Gallery. Running shortcuts from untrusted sources can put your personal data at risk”. At the bottom of the screen is a large red button labeled “add untrusted shortcut”. Smaller blue text underneath gives the option “don’t add”.
Narrator: “And then afterwards it is going to send the video and the current date to the recipient of your choice. Now, this was built by one of my buddies so there it is right there.”
He points to the “add untrusted shortcut” button.
Narrator: “add untrusted shortcut. But this is how you make it. You can make it yourself. I think this is really really important, especially with everything going on right now. We can all benefit by this running in the background, and it’s incredibly simple. Here’s the overview one more time.”
He scrolls up so that all three of the gray boxes under the heading “do” are visible on the screen at once.
Narrator: “so make this, and add it to your shortcuts, and make sure you’re safe out there. If you want more shortcut videos, leave a comment down below.”
The video ends on a dark screen that shows the logo of the TikTok channel, which is the letters “JC” surrounded by a circle that is made up of a plug chasing its tail, followed by the channel name “Josh Connects” and the account handle “@/joshconnects”. The TikTok logo is visible at the bottom of the video.
