Disable audio player in iOS Shortcuts/Automation
I wanted my iPad to let me know it's running low on power and prompt me to charge it.
So I created an automation that:
1. Runs when power drops to below 30%
2. Play Music and Set Low Power Mode
Well, I could not figure out how to access a system alert sound to use in Shortcuts/Automator.
So I created a 3sec audio file to use as an alert. I placed it in iTunes and synced it across into the iPad much like a ringtone.
This works perfectly except that it often throws up the "Player" controls which then takes time to disappear.
Is there a way to have a sound played without the player appearing?
And since I mentioned system alerts, is there any way to use those alert sounds in Shortcuts?
