Automation applications such as Macrodroid provide many possibilities for users to make your phone even smarter and take advantage of options inaccessible via native mobile settings and tools,
Today we are going to show you how you can automatically take a picture of anyone who mistypes the unlock code from your smartphone. So you can see if someone is trying to unlock it without your consent by trying to enter the code.
We have already told you on an occasion of applications responsible for doing the same thing, but thanks to Macrodroid you can’t depend on this kind of apps and perform the entire process through simple automations.
Take a picture of whoever is trying to unlock your phone
Macrodroid’s automations cover all sorts of things you can think of doing with your smartphone, and just like we’ve already taught you how to silence your mobile when you open apps like Instagram or TikTok. To do this, you just need to configure a macro with these parameters:
- Triggers: Device Events / Login Attempt Failed
- Actions: Camera/Take photo/Forward
Macrodroid will ask you to grant access in the accessibility section to the app so that it can perform this task.
When you have finished configuring it you will see that if you enter the blocking code incorrectly on your mobile the front camera will take a photo and save it to your gallery.
You can also configure this automation to take a photo each time the device is unlocked, so that in addition to some selfies you can also see who has used your mobile by knowing the password.
