My Life Has Changed Since TikTok Showed Me How to Schedule iPhone Texts

From the "Actions" tab in step six, you can also schedule phone calls, set alarms, play music, automatically set your phone to low-power mode, switch the volume, go into sleep mode, and preprogram just about any function your phone has. You can even schedule apps to open at specific times, preplan emails, and basically plan out your entire week and beyond.

And if you ever want to permanently shut down a shortcut, all you have to do is swipe left and delete it from the Automation tab. Until then, we'll be happily using our new phone powers to schedule virtual weekend brunch dates, set reminders about chores, surprise our friends, and make life a little bit easier.
