Can I get an alert when my iPhone 5S is unplugged?
My iPhone 5S gives a beep or buzz when I plug it in to a charger, but doesn’t provide any notification, apart from the lightning bolt in the top right hand corner disappearing, when it gets unplugged.
I’d like to get such a notification because my phone has a tendency to stop charging if the cable has the slightest touch to it - this happens with many different cables.
My phone is not jailbroken, so https://www.idownloadblog.com/2013/02/23/unpower-jailbreak-tweak/ doesn’t help. I’m on iOS 12.5.1, and according to Apple security updates, the iPhone 5S isn't supported for iOS 13 or 14.
You can reach that with the shortcut-app by creating an automation:
- Open Shortcut-App and create a new Automation (click +)
- Choose "Create Personal Automation"
- Scroll the page down and select "Charger"
- Choose "Is Disconnected" and click "Next"
- Click button "+ Add Action"
- Select "Show Notification", findable through the search field
- Write the show notification as example "Is Disconnected from Power", then "Next"
- Deselect "Ask Before Running" if this shortcut should be triggered automatically
- Click "Done" and your shortcut is finished and executable
