Add action and choose timer. Choose 1 second for the timer.
Disable ask before running.
Now, open the clock app and go to the timer.
Select when the timer ends and choose to stop playing.

That split seconds between the apps and the lock screen exposure is matter of life and death.

First didn’t understand, after setting now I know

[@sangkurshiveer8400]

instead of start timer select “lock the screen”

[@ibrahimKL98]

[@siiickguy]

@@ibrahimKL98idk if its a new ios thing but its called “lock screen”, u can select that instead of the timer

Great video! Found other videos that last 8 minutes! yours is quick and right to the point!

[@SoNowWhat]

Very clever, and useful! Thanks!

[@bencekovacs7732]

Not clever cuz anyone can go to shortcuts and turn it off

[@user-by8jg2gx6u]

@@bencekovacs7732yh but someone who snatches ur phone won’t know and it’ll lock if they go on certain apps so technically it is smart

[@Baddie011]

doesn’t work no more, you have to replace the action “timer” with action “lock screen” and add without notification and immediately, you are welcome my friends

[@Danjr704]

This is the way. With recent iOS update there’s a bug that the phone is making random phone calls, I added this automation to prompt passcode/faceid when phone app is trying to opened. Very helpful

[@iamaweirdperson4866]

Is there a better way to do this where it does not lock you out of your phone. Which someone can just unlock again if they know your passcode and then can access the apps

[@rymeergocrazy5312]

Find a way?

[@napaextra5225]

Tnx sir

[@iranie4981]

thanks for showing me how to lock apps. This video was easy, precise & quick!

[@adamk.1012]

All nice and neat, except you CANNOT LOCK the Shortcuts app itself, it's not on the list of apps you can lock. so basically you can lock all your apps and someone can just simply open the Shortcuts app and disable the godamn thing!! Seriously Apple needs to make this a native feature instead of all this bullshit!!

[@mjg.3239]

Yep. Worthless for truly locking the app…

[@GaniyuAbiodun-zd2jy]

You read my mind ❤️

I have been discover this method by myself but one day it didnt work.
Until one day i found this video which every step he explain is same as mine .
The reason why that shotcut didnt work is because i make a change on the step he explain on min 2:29 until 2:50.
And finally my problem solved😂 thanks bro.

[@CodPast]

Kinda pointless that you can't lock the shortcuts app... So a thief has full access to the app that disables your locks. That's like hanging your key up in a tree so that a burgler has to climb the tree first to break into your house.

[@nicburnside1270]

Or you could just lock the Shortcuts app

[@airex12]

@@nicburnside1270 it’s not possible to do that

Useful asf thanks

[@Manisha-bi7td]

Thanks it did work

[@idkjuststop]

how about different passcode for different apps

[@vernoncameron396]

but if you can disable the lock so easily shouldn't anyone who wants to get in the phone just go back to the shortcut app and get access... to over ride this can you lock the short cut app as well?

please give us a tutorial to lock shortcuts apps itself

Lock it with screen time

[@creativelkos]

Great idea but i think that the problem it’s to shortcut app because this application doesn’t have the opsion to be locked up in any way. I have tried different ways but can’t find the way to lock with pass or face the shortcut . If anyone has some idea hot to lock shortcut?

[@lamasimon9421]

Thank you so much, I wish you could lock the shortcut app too because anyone who knows this method can get around the lock

It’s great except for the same not so itsy bitsy problem, It’s the same passcode. Apple needs to enabling the locking of apps with a passcode that is NOT the phone’s passcode.

Heyy I lock my photo app but I’m unable to share photo whenever I want to share photo to someone on WhatsApp it automatically locks the app and I’m unable to share the photo what should I do
Please help!!!

[@jl373]

Its working thanks for those who says its not working its because its automatically unlocks when it saw your face try to do this method and then open the app you locked without facing the screen just open it on side so that it cant detect your faceid then you will know it works 😂 thanks for this vid 😊
