Original caption
Your phone can do this in four minutes. When it is lost in the couch on silent, calling it does nothing. So we taught ours a code word. Text it one word and it lights up and plays a song at full volume until you find it. Ours is marco, and the kids think it is magic. If you have been wondering what shortcuts can actually do, this is the easiest place to start. The free setup is linked in my bio, along with the rest of the automations that run our house. #iphoneautomation #screenshotshortcut #iphoneshortcuts #iphonetutorial #familysystems #momof5 #familyof7 #parentinghacks #shortcutsapp #automationsforiphone
