The shortcut, now in Version 1.4, can also share the exact address, with latitude and longitude included, when activated. Once you stop recording, the phone will automatically send the video to the contact whom it had already texted-or to Dropbox or iCloud Drive, depending on your choice-turn the brightness back up, and turn off Do Not Disturb. Sadly, you will have to press the Record button yourself-Apple doesn't let the phone automatically start recording on its own-and if a passcode or face recognition has been enabled, you'll have to manually unlock the phone as well.
It then will open the iPhone's front-facing camera (or rear-facing, if you choose) and send a text to a preselected contact to let them know that you have been pulled over. Anyone running iOS 12 on their iPhone can download and install the shortcut for free, and once it is configured, all you have to do is say a set phrase such as "Hey Siri, I'm getting pulled over." The shortcut then triggers the phone to pause whatever audio is being played, activate Do Not Disturb mode, and turn the brightness all the way down. As reported by Business Insider, a Reddit user has created a shortcut that will automatically start recording in the event you get pulled over by the police.
Activated by pressing a button or using Siri, shortcuts can be created to do things like press the camera shutter, quickly search Amazon, or control smart-home features. The newest operating system for Apple's iPhone, called iOS 12, launched a few weeks ago, and one of the new features is the ability for users to create custom shortcuts.
