Before you start, make sure you have one sec installed.

You can download it for free from the AppStore.

Step 1

On your iPhone, open the Shortcuts app and go to the Automation tab.

Step 2

Create a personal automation (you might need to tap on + if you already have other automations set up).

Step 3

Scroll down and select App.

Step 4

Choose the app you’d like to configure with “one sec” (e.g. Instagram).

Only select one app here. A separate automation is required for each app.

Then continue to the next page.

Step 5

Tap Add Action.

Step 6

Search for “one sec” and tap 🅰️ Activate one sec (when app opens).

Step 7

Tap App (must be selected⚠️) in order to re-select the previously selected app.

The Automation won’t run without this.

Then tap Next.

Step 8

This last step is very important:

Toggle off the option Ask Before Running.

Then tap Done and you‘re done!

Step 9

Optional

Available on iOS 15.4 and newer.

Disable notifications for this automation. Notifications will be triggered whenever the automation is ran, so it’s better to disable it here.
