The boys dive into the world of shortcuts on this episode of admin access . They get into the different automations that’ll change how you interact with your phone The conversation kicks off with Samsung's Good Lock ecosystem and its lesser-known cousin, Fine Lock. Evans breaks down how he's transformed simple gestures into powerful productivity tools. Double-tap the back of your phone to launch Spotify instantly, triple-tap to open your expense tracker, and hold the power button to create tasks without even unlocking your screen It's the kind of setup that makes your phone feel like it's reading your mind. But the real showstopper comes from the Sound Assistant feature, where volume buttons become music controls when your phone is locked. Hold volume up for the next track, volume down for the previous one, turning any moment into seamless music navigation. It's these little victories that add up to major workflow improvements. Dominic brings the iOS perspective with the Shortcuts app, sharing how he's automated everything from adding movies to his watchlist to setting up location-based messages. His standout creation? A "locate iPhone" shortcut that activates when trusted contacts text "lost phone" - automatically enabling location services, turning off airplane mode, and sending GPS coordinates back. It's the kind of backup plan you hope to never use but feel brilliant for having. The episode wraps with both hosts acknowledging that while these automations might seem complex at first, they're investments in future convenience. Whether you're team Android or iOS, there's something here that'll make your phone work smarter, not harder.
