image for ‘Hey Siri, I’m getting pulled over’: iPhone feature will record police interaction, send location

One iPhone user created a shortcut that prompts an iPhone to begin recording police interactions by the user simply uttering the phrase: “Hey Siri, I’m getting pulled over.”.

Twitter user Robert Petersen posted a link to the shortcut and an explanation of what it does.

Apple’s “Shortcuts” feature allows users to “create your own shortcuts with multiple steps,” according to the company’s website. »
