Spotify Saboteur
They open Spotify. Spotify opens Baby Shark.
Download shortcut⏱ 40s setup
Open this page in Safari on an iPhone. The file goes straight into Shortcuts.
What happens
Every time they open Spotify, it jumps straight to Baby Shark. Doo doo doo doo doo doo.
Setup
- Open the download on their phone (or AirDrop it over) and tap Add Shortcut.
- While importing, it asks for the Spotify link to force. Leave the default for Baby Shark, or paste any song’s share link. Fill it in before tapping Add Shortcut.
- Long-press it in Shortcuts → All Shortcuts → Rename and call it Spotify Helper, so it doesn’t give itself away.
- Shortcuts → Automation → + → App, pick Spotify, Is Opened, 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.
