Back by popular demand with the FAQ at the end for common questions. The full marco setup, step by step. This is the shortcut that finds your phone when it is on silent in the bottom of a tote bag. You text it one word. It turns the volume all the way up and plays a song until you find it. It works on do not disturb. Save this for tonight when you have four quiet minutes. It is the first automation I tell every tired parent to set up, and it is the one that convinces you your phone can carry more than it does. The link is in my bio, with the rest of our free automations. #iphonetricks #iphonehacks #shortcuts #momhacks #savethis
