You know those phone snatchers you see grabbing phones from people's hands as they're using them in the street? There is a way to fight back (in fact there are 10 ways but we will just focus on 1 way here).

The problem: Your phone is often unlocked, and normally tracking it's live position to 'Find My' app and thieves know to disable all connectivity as quick as possible so they put your phone into Airplane mode to give them some breathing time.

The solution: Apple Shortcuts app with a combination of automated tasks that start as soon as your phone is put into Airplane mode, these include:

1) Turn Airplane Mode off (so your phone is forced to connect to the internet again instantly, allowing you to lock it down further remotely and/or start tracking it's location).

2) Lock the phone (obviously having a locked phone is better than one that's unlocked).

3) Snap a photo from the front camera and save that image to your iCloud (unlikely to give you much as they often wear face coverings but you never know).

Here is how to set it up for iPhone (you can do similar on Android using apps like Tasker):

1) Open Apple Shortcuts App.

2) Go to: Automation (bottom menu bar) > Press '+' > Select 'Airplane Mode', Mark Run immediately > Create New Shortcut

3) Search and add Camera > 'Take a photo' > Select Front Camera > Turn off 'Show Camera Preview' (it's a dropdown)

3) Search and add 'Save photo to recents' (You can also add the photo option to several other automations if you wanted).

4) Search and Add 'Lock the screen'

5) Add 'Turn Airplane Mode Off'

Go and test it.

You can customise this to do a bunch of other things e.g. send phone location to etc so have a play with the options.

Only slight issue is when you're on a plane and they say 'please turn your phone to airplane mode' and you have a mild panic, but this can be overcome, just go to the shortcuts app and disable it.

Note: if you're on Android / Samsung you can do similar with those operating systems or similar apps (sorry we don't use those devices so don't feel comfortable recommending any but hopefully others in the comments can help).
