Download shortcut⏱ 40s setup

Open this page in Safari on an iPhone. The file goes straight into Shortcuts.

What happens

They open TikTok and get a menu: Haven’t you had enough? “Yes, I have” opens the Health app. “One more video” also opens the Health app.

Setup

  1. Open the download on their phone (or AirDrop it over) and tap Add Shortcut.
  2. Long-press it in Shortcuts → All Shortcuts → Rename and call it Scroll Helper, so it doesn’t give itself away.
  3. Shortcuts → Automation → + → App, pick TikTok, Is Opened, select Run Immediately, tap Next and choose the shortcut.
  4. Run it once now and tap Always Allow on every prompt, or the prank fizzles on a permission dialog later.

Undo

Open Shortcuts → Automation, swipe left on the automation and tap Delete. Then delete the shortcut.
