What happens
Every time they switch Low Power Mode off, it switches itself back on two seconds later.
Setup
- Open the download on their phone (or AirDrop it over) and tap Add Shortcut.
- Long-press it in Shortcuts → All Shortcuts → Rename and call it Battery Saver, so it doesn’t give itself away.
- Shortcuts → Automation → + → Low Power Mode, choose Is Turned Off, select Run Immediately, tap Next and choose the shortcut.
- 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.
