Hack that unlocks iPhones with lipgloss stumps millions – Plus track loved one’s flights in real time
- Replies 3
Did you know that you can unlock your phone with a simple voice command? Surprise, surprise. Modern technological innovations never fail to impress us, eh?
An iPhone hack that uses lipgloss to unlock the device in an instant went viral on TikTok. It was uploaded by TikTok creator @hardreset.info, who hailed the tech tip as ‘the best iPhone trick ever’.
The little-known feature allows you to choose just about any phrase under the sun, which you can then use to unlock your phone hands-free.
‘Siri will unlock your iPhone instead of you!’ the video was captioned.
In the clip, an iPhone user can be seen marking each key with a dab of lip gloss before unlocking the phone. They then proceed by pulling up ‘Settings’, scrolling down and heading to ‘Accessibility’, and finally clicking the ‘Voice Control’ feature.
For the next step, the user selects ‘Customise Commands’ and ‘Create New Command’.

In the phrase box under ‘New Command’, the user writes ‘Please unlock my phone’ but you can choose any phrase you desire. Don’t be afraid to play around with it!
The user then taps the ‘Run Custom Gesture’ – and this is where the lipgloss marks come in handy. As the phone asks the user to create a sequence of taps, the lipgloss marks will dictate the precise areas on your screen to touch when unlocking your phone.
The feature mimics this sequence and automatically runs it when it detects the voice command or phrase indicated previously.
After the new rule was set up, the user put it to the ultimate test.
‘Please unlock my phone.’ they can be heard saying – and the phone unlocks itself like magic!
The hack has racked up a whopping 86 million views, with several deeming it ‘the best’.

However, others were puzzled by the role of lipgloss in the process.
‘I’m confused, was the lipstick necessary?’ one fan questioned.
‘Why is no one talking about the lipstick? I’m lost.’ chimed another.
A few were concerned about the potential security risks, with one pointing out: ‘This is great until someone finds a lost iPhone and tries this hack.’ To which another responded: ‘If you’re worried about security, the phrase can be anything such as “abracadabra”, so just make sure you choose a unique one.’

This trick came after a travel content creator captured the attention of millions with another iPhone hack.
She demonstrated how family and friends can track their loved ones’ flights in real time with a single text message.
Jade, with the TikTok username @live_thedash, revealed that by simply sending the airline name and flight number via iMessage before boarding, the impressive feature will show up automatically.
Once sent, the flight number is underlined and when selected, the following options appear: ‘copy code’ or ‘preview flight’.
When the ‘preview flight’ option is selected, the user can then track the progress of a journey. It includes key flight details such as departure time, estimated arrival time, the duration of the flight, and a flight map.

‘It’s the best iPhone travel hack that you never knew about!’ she said in the video.
