Shortcuts for iOS can be said to be the killer App. It is an official application launched by Apple. It mainly uses different scripts to meet different usage needs. These scripts are like the props in Doraemon’s treasure bag. The key point is that these props can be easily made or downloaded by you. iOS 14 has a very interesting automation function, which can allow certain actions on the iPhone to automatically run some events, such as reading the battery level when connecting to the charging cable, reminding when the battery is fully charged, etc. You can even open the App to see some practical charging examples of the useful automation functions of iOS 14.

What is automation? In iOS “shortcut“In the App, there is a “automation” icon, click to switch to the automation page, and press [Create Personal Automation Operation].
Scroll to the end and click “Charger”, click “Connected” and then “Add Action”.
Enter “battery” in the search bar above the action, select “Get battery power”, and then press “+” to add another action.
Enter “Text” on the search bar, select “Text”, fill in “Current Battery Level” and click “Battery Level”. After obtaining the current battery information, the next step is to read it out aloud, so press “+” to add an action.
After entering the reading, select “Read text”, press the trial button to listen, and click “Next” after OK to continue.
When the situation arises, the script you specify will be executed. I don’t like to execute it after being prompted, so I turn off “Ask before executing” so that the current battery level will be automatically read as long as the charging cable is plugged in.
It’s OK to be reminded after charging. You can also enter the screen to create a personal automatic bad operation to add a new one and select “Battery Level”.
After adjusting the battery power to 100%, click “+” to add a new action.
For this action, select “Show Notification”, enter the reminder message “Full Charge!”, and also turn off “Ask before executing”, otherwise it will be strange to ask after charging.
After completion, you can see the two automation scripts for charging and reading power and 100% reminder just set up on the automation screen.
Generally, the screen is dark when charging. You can make the screen more lively when charging. This can be easily achieved through the “Personal Automation” function of iOS 14 and third-party apps. When charging, it is a good idea to have sufficient power and display the clock on the screen. In order to be more lively, I choseZen flip Clock dynamic flip clock, let’s take a look at the instructions.
Also add an automation operation script to the automation. Because the clock needs to be displayed when plugging in for charging, select the charger.
Specify an action when connecting.
This action is to “open the App”, click “Select” and then select “Minimalist Clock”.
Also turn off “Ask before executing”, otherwise it will be weird to ask before notifying you after plugging in and charging.
A kicked passerby used the automation function of iOS 14 to implement a shortcut trick about charging, which is to read the battery level during charging, turn the screen into an alarm clock, and remind you when the battery is 100% charged.
The clock is displayed when charging, which feels fashionable and stylish, with an indescribable atmosphere.
