I'm not sure if this is possible, but I wanted to pose the question to the list to find out. I own an iPhone 8 running iOS 13.5.1. Here's the scenario. You're using your iPhone while waiting outside for an Uber pickup, then a thief snatches it out of your hand. They take off running. You have only a few seconds to react, but normally you start screaming "STOP THIEF" or something too that affect immediately. How about you could simply say the phrase "Hey Siri: STOP THIEF" Then Siri would do the following on your iPhone: 1. Activate the front camera and take a picture. 2. Activate the back camera and take a picture. 3. Upload a copy of those photos to the iCloud linked to your account. 4. Set screen brightness to 0. 5. Lock phone and screen. 6. Disable fingerprint sensor, so only inputting the correct pin will unlock the phone. 7. Play a loud pitch Siren or alert notification sound at the highest volume level. 8. Continue to secretly take a photo every 30 - 60 seconds using the front and back camera, and upload the photos to the iCloud, not overwriting the other photos. Now maybe I'm coming off here sounding like a lunatic, but I feel that such a Shortcut would be nice to have just in case you encounter a situation like this. Can this be done? If so, what are the steps? Also is there a site or blog featuring useful iOS shortcuts members have freely contributed. Ones you can easily import to the Shortcuts app on your iPhone? Now I realize

RE: Using iOS Shortcuts to Deputize Siri?
I remember years ago before biometric passwords were a thing, there was an app that could take a picture via the front camera if an incorrect password was typed in (taking a snapshot of the person typing) and uploaded to iCloud. Have no idea what it was called anymore, but I have to believe that while maybe your exact specifications may be more complicated, there's got to be something to broadly cover these types of scenarios out there. Be it for a sighted or blind iPhone user.

I wonder if you could work that in to it also, The finger print scanner on the phone or face id, If the purp touched the finger print scanner or face id were used by the scumbag,or attempted to be used, It triggered something in the background that started a silent alarm which alerted you as well. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Kenny Sent: Wednesday, 1 July 2020 6:57 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Using iOS Shortcuts to Deputize Siri?

Re: Using iOS Shortcuts to Deputize Siri?
It's kind of like this when it comes to tracking your phone, let's suppose that the guy that steals the iPhone does it for a few different reasons. Maybe he needs a new screen or if he needs a new battery. I think you're getting the idea.If you do what I suggested before about sending a message for a brick command you could have a brick all command that would brick all the conpponents in the phone, once again, only apple could unbrick all this. I believe once word got around that criminals wouldn't be so interested in stealing phones unless they just like taking things from people.

RE: Using iOS Shortcuts to Deputize Siri?
My husband thinks that if anyone got my iPhone, they'd be so confused with VoiceOver, and even more so if I had Screen Curtain on that they couldn't use it. They wouldn't know my access code, nor would they have my face, so it sounds like a frustrating endeavor to the crook, but most annoying, frustrating and anger provoking to me, if it should happen. Problem: if they just tossed it, I couldn't use it either. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Kenny Sent: Tuesday, June 30, 2020 6:28 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Using iOS Shortcuts to Deputize Siri?

Kenny, It would be good to say something to Siri that would be silly that wouldn't mean anything to anyone, especially that person that just grabbed your iPhone, such as some stupid phraise like "siri, grab my loaf of bread.".

RE: Using iOS Shortcuts to Deputize Siri?
Interesting thought, But again, when the phone has been grabbed, How do you then sen the brick code to the phone? But take your idea a se\tep sideways slightly, You send the code, Then phone is put in to a somewhat bricked / locked state But alerts both apples systems that the phone is also sending a gps alert to your provider who can raise the alert to the police. But then I'm guessing the cops would get so many alerts to stolen phones that they'd ignore them after a few minutes. But then as in this state it is most likely a form of assault then they should be on to it. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Arlene Sent: Tuesday, 30 June 2020 7:43 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Using iOS Shortcuts to Deputize Siri?

RE: Using iOS Shortcuts to Deputize Siri?
Hi Kenny, I’m not going to say your crazy, Because you're probably thinking of something others are also thinking of. How to do it would be the crazy thing! I'm personally thinking what you are looking to do must be possible but I'm not sure you could do it with a Hey siri shortcut request if the jerkoff that just grabbed your phone is doing a runner. And thinking that if I grabbed a mobile device and started running, I'd have it in one hand and that would be by my side as my arms pumped as runners do! You would have road noise possibly to take in to consideration, Other background noises The runner might have put your phone in to their pocket to free hands or make themselves look les like a running scumbag! And of course your idea of the photo of the face depends on if the phone is being looked at, which they would do I'm sure once they were away from anyone following them! However if you have an apple watch especially one of the LTE models, Could you not do some of this stuff from find my iphone via the watch? Find my iPhone I've used to locate my watch from my phone so somewhat around the opposite way to what you are looking for, But you could trigger an alarm, Lock the phone or wipe it if needed, I'm not sure about photos but there must be something that could give you that ability, Infact I think there is built in to the watch but it's from the phones camera so you can hold the phone up with the camera looking at something and view it on the watch screen! The other thing is if you use a caine you could throw it at the scumbag like a javlyn / speer, Or if it's a broken down in to sections folding cain, throw it at their legs as they run so it might trip them and then you could kick the shit out of them while they lye there trying to free themselves, Or if you use a dog, teach it to chase the bad guy like a police dog! That one I'd like to see happen! Sorry most of this isn't going to do what you are looking for but just some ideas looking from a somewhat different angle Good luck and I hope you can figure something out -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Kenny Sent: Tuesday, 30 June 2020 11:09 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Using iOS Shortcuts to Deputize Siri? I'm not sure if this is possible, but I wanted to pose the question to the list to find out. I own an iPhone 8 running iOS 13.5.1. Here's the scenario. You're using your iPhone while waiting outside for an Uber pickup, then a thief snatches it out of your hand. They take off running. You have only a few seconds to react, but normally you start screaming "STOP THIEF" or something too that affect immediately. How about you could simply say the phrase "Hey Siri: STOP THIEF" Then Siri would do the following on your iPhone: 1. Activate the front camera and take a picture. 2. Activate the back camera and take a picture. 3. Upload a copy of those photos to the iCloud linked to your account. 4. Set screen brightness to 0. 5. Lock phone and screen. 6. Disable fingerprint sensor, so only inputting the correct pin will unlock the phone. 7. Play a loud pitch Siren or alert notification sound at the highest volume level. 8. Continue to secretly take a photo every 30 - 60 seconds using the front and back camera, and upload the photos to the iCloud, not overwriting the other photos. Now maybe I'm coming off here sounding like a lunatic, but I feel that such a Shortcut would be nice to have just in case you encounter a situation like this. Can this be done? If so, what are the steps? Also is there a site or blog featuring useful iOS shortcuts members have freely contributed. Ones you can easily import to the Shortcuts app on your iPhone? Now I realize this list is filled with a bunch of people just looking for a reason to ridicule member's who post any question they personally deem as "Dumb." I'm hoping you will simply ignore/delete this thread and don't even bother posting a reply if you happen to be one of them. I'm not posting this question to be ridiculed, but too get informed. Nothing more. Thanks. -Kenny -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.

Thanks for providing the helpful links. I'll definitely check them out.

This is another useful site: https://shortcutsgallery.com/ I know there are others out there, but those are just a couple. I do recall reading during the protests a few weeks back when the police were going let us say ... a little enthusiastic with the teargas and rubber bullets and batonning, someone created a shortcut that was being passed around that when you say something like "Hey Siri. The cops" the phone would lock, the camera would be activated and share my location to contacts would be activated with an automatic backup to iCloud. Not too far off from what you sort of want to do. I'm not a shortcut guru, so couldn't tell you if or how it could be done though. Good luck.
