[–] fer0n@lemm.ee 29 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children) John Gruber made a shortcut that triggers mute if the device is laying face down on the table and otherwise launches the camera: shortcut. Edit, small hint: Actions App is required to detect the face down orientation. permalink fedilink source hideshow 8 child comments replies: [–] Matt_Glan@lemm.ee 5 points 2 years ago I am using the gruber action too.

I didn’t buy a 15 Pro myself so I just linked to his article. I thought he put that into one shortcut, definitely should’ve had. I get that he’s calling this in two places and there no function definition in shortcuts, but it’s really annoying to share if it’s split up. There should definitely be a solution for this from Apple if you ask me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] adj16@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Oh hey no worries, just writing down the things I’ve realized for others so they don’t get stuck!

I sadly don’t have it downloaded, maybe someone else does. Otherwise there’s a few screenshots linked in the article. Edit: it’s working again.

Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me and I’m unsure of how to fix it. Ill just wait till there is a fix for it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] fer0n@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) Could be you don’t have the Actions App installed?
