Password to activate airplane mode
Lovers of foreign things when they steal an iPhone the first thing they do is put the mobile in Airplane Mode to cancel mobile connectivity (2G, 3G, 4G and 5G) and Wi-Fi and BlueTooth connections. That disables their ability to receive calls and the Search app options. That way we won't be able to trace the iPhone and they won't have had to turn off the mobile, which always makes it more difficult to unlock.
Normally to do this they lower the Control Center panel, from the lock screen, and put it in Airplane Mode without having to unlock it and they do it very quickly with a single click.That is why many media recommend eliminate access to the control center from the lock screen But if we do this we remove the possibility of being able to lower the brightness, to the calculator, to the connections from the lock screen, which, personally, I use a lot since I don't have, for example, the automatic brightness activated.
That is why we are going to show you a shortcut that prevents us from having to eliminate access to the control center on the lock screen, something that many of us need in our day to day.

How to put a password to activate airplane mode on the iPhone:
It is very easy to configure as you will see below. We open the Shortcuts app and do the following:
- We access the automation menu that we can see in the lower part of the screen.
- Click on the "+" button to create a new personal automation.
- From the list that appears, we look for the airplane mode option.
- We choose the option “Activates”.
- Click on «Next».
- Now we add the action «Define airplane mode» and click on the word «Activate» that appears in blue to activate the option «Deactivate».
- We look for the “Request input” action and, after pressing it, we add the text “Enter the password” in the area where it says “Message” in a paler blue color.
- Now we look for the "Text" action and there we must activate the "Provided input" function that appears at the top of the keyboard.
- After this, we look for the action «Yes», which is characterized by a bifurcation of arrows. We must configure it so that it looks like this "If Text is (the password you want to put)"
- Now find the Airplane Mode action again, set it to On, and move it just behind the If Text is option.
- We are looking for a new action. In this case the "Show notice" and when we see it we put in the blue part, the text "Airplane mode activated". We put this new action behind the “Airplane mode” action.
- After this last action we have to have the "If not" option on and then we add another action of "Airplane mode" where we must check the "Deactivate" option.
- Finally, the option “Finish if” should appear.
- And to finish we must deactivate the "Request confirmation" option to avoid that the warning always appears if we want to use the automation or not.
The final part of the automation, which is the most complicated to configure, should look like this:
