iPhone Shortcuts Trick: Get an Email With Your Stolen Phone's Location When It's Charged
aitrendz_xyz · x · 2026-11-03
A step-by-step iPhone Shortcuts automation: create a charger-connected trigger set to run immediately, then chain Get Current Location and Send Email (attach location, disable compose sheet) so the phone silently reports its position the moment anyone plugs it in.
The author is upfront about limits — a thief who powers the phone off defeats it — but as a complement to Find My it's a free fallback most iPhone owners never realize exists. Worth setting up before you ever need it.
