@Zayan5754 shares an iPhone anti-theft setup: when a stolen phone is plugged in to charge, the front camera automatically snaps a photo of the thief and emails it to the owner with the exact location. He notes it requires no third-party app — it's built from native iOS features (via Shortcuts-style automation) — and walks through the full setup so others can replicate it before their phone goes missing.
