Leaving IPhone in Car
For those frustrated with leaving their IPhone in the charger between the seats when they get out of the car, I may have a solution for you.
Download the "Shortcuts" App
Tap Automations
Tap + in upper right-hand corner
Tap "Create Personal Automation"
Scroll down the page and select "Charger"
Choose "Is Disconnected" and click "Next"
Tap "+ Add Action"
Select "Speak Text", findable through Search Field
Where Text is gray, type message you want announced (I have "Phone Left Behind")
Deselect "Ask Before Running"
Click "Done"
When the car is turned off and the charger power is disconnected form the phone, your phone will announce "Phone Left Behind"
In my case, it announces it to my hearing aids.
Hope that helps those that are frustrated.
