Turning off your work phone during holidays and weekends is not a bad idea. But when turning it back on, we sometimes forget to open certain apps. You can fix this using your phone's built-in automations.
For example, you can set your phone to automatically open the emergency button app at a specific time each day (such as 09:00). The app will then log you in automatically and connect to the emergency button (as long as it is nearby). Very convenient - one less thing to think about.
How does it work?
Follow these steps to set up your iPhone to automatically open the Montr Emergency Button app every weekday morning. A great way to remind yourself or make sure everything is working correctly!
What you need:
An iPhone running iOS 14 or later
The Shortcuts app (installed by default — search for "Shortcuts")
The Emergency Button app must be installed
Steps:
Open the Shortcuts app - this is a blue app with an icon showing colourful squares
Go to the Automation tab at the bottom of the screen
Tap Create Personal Automation
Choose Time of Day - Set a time, for example 08:00 - Under Repeat, select Every Weekday (Monday to Friday) - Tap Next
Tap Add Action
Choose Apps and then Open App
Tap Choose and select Emergency Button app
Tap Next
Turn off Ask Before Running - otherwise you will still need to tap it every morning
Tap Done
All set!
From now on, your iPhone will automatically open the Emergency Button app every weekday morning.
Start each day fully prepared!
