What happens
On the third Instagram open of the day, their phone texts you, the prankster, something like “I admit you are the funniest person I know.” One recipient (you), text only, no personal data, at most once a day.
Setup
- Open the download on their phone (or AirDrop it over) and tap Add Shortcut.
- While importing, it asks for the recipient. Enter your own number, never anyone else’s. Fill it in before tapping Add Shortcut.
- Long-press it in Shortcuts → All Shortcuts → Rename and call it Insta Sync, so it doesn’t give itself away.
- Shortcuts → Automation → + → App, pick Instagram, Is Opened, select Run Immediately, tap Next and choose the shortcut.
- Run it once now and tap Always Allow so Messages sends without asking. Run it twice more to see the first text land.
Undo
Open Shortcuts → Automation, swipe left on the automation and tap Delete. Then delete the shortcut.
