I'm glad that someone is telling everyone where the information is in your idevicesbecause it's very important that you have all this information, includingyou're

imei number, model number, even curret phone number. Actually write

downw this information in at least, more than one copy written on anonelectronic device. once again, if you're going to secureyour apple devices from people that would steal them, you must make themcompletelyuseless if they do get stolen. however at this time this isn't the case. Ifthe onesthat steal the devices can't use them they can definitely sell them forparts. Butif apple were to impliment my idea in future products, in the future, therewouldbe no need to sell them for parts because all the device and all the partsin itwould be bricked, and the only company that could do anything about it wouldbe apple.At this time, with all current devices that isn't the case. In my opinionthis wouldbe complete security. Yeah, with your face id and your touch id andpassword, theymay not be able to get into your phone, but they could still teer it up anduse it

for parts, such as your screen and other parts.

When you buy an iPhone you have a receipt showing where you bought it, yourmodel number, and serial number, and any other unique identifiableinformation. This wouldn't work at this time, to be successful it would haveto be inplimented in future apple products.

Wayne,

Nice thought,

But how does apple know that you are the real owner of the phone if you goback to them to get the device unbricked?

Assuming you were able to get it back from the purp

It's kind of like this when it comes to tracking your phone, let's supposethat 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'regetting the idea.If you do what I suggested before about sending a messagefor a brick command you could have a brick all command that would brick allthe 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 instealing phones unless they just like taking things from people.

Hello All,

This is an interesting thread.

You can use iCloud to lock your phone and track it with the Find My App fromany device. You can simply log-in to https://icloud.com and lock the deviceremotely and see it’s last location and when it was either connected toWifi or Cellular.

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.". This could be the shortcut to start working, if it
could be possible. Keep up the brainstorming. in a situation as this
it would be good to have something inplace.

Yes, I do understand that screaming a specific phrase to trigger Siri
Shortcuts would be problematic, especially when the perp is running
away from you.

Guess I'm brainstorming some ideas to rely on Siri to protect me, and
my iPhone when traveling alone.

These iOS Workflow shortcuts are really powerful. Using the ReddIt
link shared on this thread I'm learning more and more about them. Hope
to come up with something on my own I can share with the community.

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

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 affectimmediately.



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 oneof them.



I'm not posting this question to be ridiculed, but too get informed.
Nothing more.


Thanks.

-Kenny
