Automation on iPhone

On the shortcut app, you can set all sorts of automations. Some examples of practical use cases for this that I personally use include:

• at 8:00pm ET, brightness is dimmed all the way

• at 12:00am ET, my phone is automatically locked & my green noise (which helps w/ my tinnitus) is triggered at 30% volume

• when I open any app where I will spend (i.e, Depop, Dunkin’s, Starbucks, etc.) an automation is triggered to show me my balance in Bank of America

• when I open Instagram, an automation is triggered to set the volume to 0%, and to bring the brightness to low (which avoids blasting my reels at max volume in a public setting)

There are endless ways to use this function. Give it a try!
