Now, Create a New Shortcut The next step is to create a new shortcut. This shortcut will be the one responsible for locking your screen. To create a shortcut, make sure that you have the Shortcuts app installed on your iPhone. It should be there by default, but if you can’t find it, you can re-download it from the App Store. 1. Once you have the app, follow these steps: 2. Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone. 3. Make sure you’re on the Shortcuts tab and then tap on the plus icon in the top right corner. 4. To identify your shortcut, tap on New Shortcut at the top of the screen and select Rename. Then, use a name like “Lock Screen.” 5. Choose Add Action. 6. Tap on the search bar and search for “Lock Screen.” 7. Select Lock Screen. 8. Choose Done in the top right corner. And that’s it. If you tap the shortcut, your iPhone will immediately lock itself. Now it’s time to create an automation that uses the Focus mode and your new shortcut.
