    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.

      I am using the gruber action too. I really appreciate its simplicity. Although it took me a second to realise you needed the extra app ‘actions’

        So this doesn’t want to work for me. Says the shortcut can’t be found?

        Edit: needed the actions app for this one too.

        Ah apologies. 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.

          Oh hey no worries, just writing down the things I’ve realized for others so they don’t get stuck! Yeah agreed, deep links to other shortcuts should have a way to install those dependencies

      That’s a really neat shortcut. 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.

        You’re right, I‘m pretty sure it was working before. 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. I think something was broken with iCloud, I couldn’t download anything for some time.
