Has it ever happened to you that you connected your iPhone to the charger, left for work thinking it’s charging, only to come back and realize it hasn’t started? Maybe you forgot to turn on the switch, or the cable wasn’t properly connected to the iPhone or adapter. It doesn’t happen every time, but it can occasionally.
If you want to avoid this situation, there is a solution you can follow. You can set your iPhone to speak specific text when you connect it to the charger. Yes, you can do that.
By default, the iPhone plays a light sound when connected to the charger, which may not be noticeable. Instead, you can task your iPhone to speak a specific word or sentence when it’s plugged in.
Make iPhone Speak Every Time You Charge It
For this, we will be using Shortcuts, an app available by default on iPhone. If you haven’t used Shortcuts, you are missing out on a lot of things your iPhone can do. In particular, we will use Automation in Shortcuts that works on If & Then conditions.
Let’s begin the process.
Step 1: Open Shortcuts on your iPhone and jump to the Automation tab.
Step 2: Now tap the + icon at the top right corner.
Step 3: Scroll down and select Charger. Here choose “Is Connected” and “Run Immediately.”
Step 4: In the next condition, search and select “Speak Text.”
Step 5: Tap Text and write the text you want your iPhone to speak on connecting it to the charger. For example Charger Connected. You can also choose voice, or language by tapping the dropdown next to the text.
Step 6: And finally tap Done.
Later if you decide to not use this automation, you can either turn it off or delete it.
To delete an Automation, all you need to do is swipe the Automation to the left and tap Delete.
To turn off the Automation, open the Automation. Then tap next to the Automation text to open the drop-down. Then select Don’t Run.
Shortcuts is a powerful tool and it can do many things like the one we mentioned today. If you want to know more tricks like this one, let us know in the comments.
