is it possible to trigger shortcut when camera app is on?


camera unintentionally turned on (probably by button somehow pressed in pocket) has been draining battery.


thanks ahead!

Sunnyintoronto ~ Yes, it's possible. Apple's Shortcuts app offers Setting triggers (e.g. the App trigger) which can run a personal automation when the Camera app is opened...


  1. Open Shortcuts app
  2. Tap Automation at the bottom
  3. Tap the + sign at upper right
  4. Tap Create Personal Automation
  5. Scroll down to App
  6. Tap Choose and choose the Camera app
  7. Tap Next at upper right
  8. Tap Add Action

...Some suggested actions are Play sound & Speak all within a Repeat loop.
