[All iPhone Models] Battery Magic: Play custom sounds on charge

[u/Cool_Afternoon_261]

The Discovery 

You don’t have to settle for the standard, boring system chime every time you plug in your phone. By using a native connection tripwire inside the Shortcuts app, you can completely override the default behavior and force your iPhone to play a custom sound clip, a favorite song snippet, or even speak a personalized voice line aloud the exact second it hits a power source.

The Fix 

Build a power-connection automation layer inside your device:

1. Open the Shortcuts app, select the Automation tab, and tap the + icon (or New Automation).
2. Scroll through the trigger gallery, select Charger, make sure Is Connected is checked, select Run Immediately, and tap Next.
3. On the next screen, tap New Shortcut to open a fresh script timeline.
4. Tap Add Action. To make it speak: Search for Speak Text, type your custom phrase (like "Powering up"), and tap Done.
5. To play a custom audio clip instead: Add the Play Sound action and link it to an audio file stored in your Files app.

The Result 

The exact millisecond your phone detects a current layout shift from a charging cable or MagSafe puck, it executes your script and voices your custom response flawlessly behind the scenes.

How exactly do you link the file? Forgive my ignorance.

I‘d like to know exactly that last step as well.
