“Here’s another iPhone trick I guarantee you didn’t know about,” he says.
Like many of its tricks, it starts with the Shortcuts app, which allows users to design their own shortcuts and sequences on the phone.
At the bottom of the screen, click the Automation button, then select Create personal automation.
The screen will then display a list of phone features such as Alarm, Email and WiFi.
Kaam says to select Charger, which is at the bottom of the list, and then Next, with “is connected” selected.
Then click Add Action followed by Say Text. If Speak Text does not appear as an option on the screen, you can search for it in the search bar.
Then click “Add action” followed by “Speak text.” If “Speak text” does not appear as an option on the screen, you can search for it in the search bar

Kaan’s video went viral, being viewed 22.5 million times and gaining 1.5 million likes.
Those who tried it shared their funny success stories in the comments, including several that came up with even more naughty phrases for Siri to say.
Others did several PGs, including one that made theirs say “yessssss feeeeed meeeeee”.
“Now, every time I connect my phone, it says ‘pigeon salad’ and I’m terrified every time,” wrote another.
How: In July, she shared a trick for unlocking a phone without using Face ID or entering a password – based on voice control
Last year, as many iPhone users struggled with Face ID because of face masks, Kaan showed how to unlock an iPhone without it – or even a password.
“I’ll show you how to unlock your phone with your voice,” he says in the viral video, which he uploaded on June 27, 2020.
First, it instructed viewers to access Settings and select Accessibility, which is in the third block of options under General, Control Center, and Display & Brightness.
Then select Voice Control (under the “Physics and Motor” subsection).
For the trick to work, Voice Control – the first option at the top of the screen – must be enabled. This allows users to use their voice to control their iOS device without even saying “Hey Siri”.
Step by step: Once you select Customize Commands, they name the command verbal
Reward: Then record an action – in this case, by entering a PIN code on the keyboard. When users say their voice command, the action plays on the screen
Once enabled, click Customize Commands to create a new voice command.
“From here, click Create New Order and type any phrase you want to use to unlock your phone,” @kaansanity saod, using “open sesame” as your own example.
“Then click ‘Run a custom gesture’ and enter where your passcode would be,” he added.
For example, if the PIN code for your iPhone is 1234, tap the screen where keys 1, 2, 3, and 4 would follow.
This means that when you give the voice command of your choice – whether it’s “open sesame”, such as @kaansanity or even “see my phone”, your iPhone will behave as if you were touching a PIN and unlock the phone.
