EVER got your hands mucky in the kitchen and not able to unlock your iPhone for something?

Maybe it’s timed out and you can no longer see the recipe.

Well, a TikToker has revealed a genius trick that allows you to unlock your iPhone hands-free.

Once you’ve set this up, all you’ll need is the power of your voice.

So how does it work exactly?

As @tigo.al demonstrates, it’s made possible with the accessibility settings in your iPhone.

First, with a wipeable marker, scribble a rough dot where your passcode digits are.

Now go into Settings and scroll down to Accessibility.

Tap Voice Control, then go to Customise Commands.

Select Create New Command.

Now type “unlock my phone” or some other phrase you’ll use to unlock your iPhone.

Click to choose an action then select Run Custom Gesture.

Now use the marker dots to tap where the digits are in the usual order of your passcode.

The idea is that when you run this command, it will automatically tap your passcode for you.

But you need to make sure you’re tapping in the right positions for it to work.

Now save the gesture and command and then return to your Lock Screen.

Next time you want to unlock your iPhone, just say: “Hey Siri, please unlock my phone”.

Then the gesture will run, unlocking your device instantly.

Obviously be careful that someone else can’t run it with their voice otherwise they can get into your device.
