If there’s ever a time that you get stopped by police and want to film the encounter, there’s a feature on iPhone that would allow your ciPhone camera to automatically start.  The new iOS 12 feature Siri Shortcuts allows iPhone users to map things on their phones like workouts, phone calls, navigation, and more.

A man from Arizona named Robert Petersen made a shortcut that activates his phone’s camera with a simple command. He just has to say, “Hey Siri, I’ve been pulled over.” Then the phone takes care of the rest.

Petersen suggests that you keep your phone in a dash mount, and once you stop recording the shortcut will send the recording to a person that you choose.

 

Have you used all the new features on iOS 12? What’s your favorite new feature?
