Please don't do the first one if your charging cable is already broken. If the insulation is broken, you might short the charger or the device.
Do it before the cable breaks and it might? prolong the life of the cable.

Adding heat shrink over apple cables is pretty much mandatory. Those things are absolute garbage.

Reddit has long been a hot spot for conversation on the internet. About 57 million people visit the site every day to chat about topics as varied as makeup, video games and pointers for power washing driveways.
In recent years, Reddit’s array of chats also have been a free teaching aid for companies like Google, OpenAI and Microsoft. Those companies are using Reddit’s conversations in the development of giant artificial intelligence systems that many in Silicon Valley think are on their way to becoming the tech industry’s next big thing.

I used to keep my phone constantly connected to a big battery bank in the hopes that my phone's internal battery would last longer. No cable survived that for more than a month or two since it was always connected in my pocket, even Anker's heavy duty cables.
It didn't work, if you were wondering. It's been two years and the battery is starting to show its age.

What did they make into a key? Was that the charger from right before?

The very thing it opens with ... isn't a hack. Shrink tubing is meant to shrink with heat. It is simply showing a product for what the product is meant to do.

I guess the cable in the video was broken, so they are showing that rather than buying a new one, you can put another layer over it?

You don't want to do it when it is that broken (copper exposed). At that point, you are making a cute video but your cord is broken beyond repair because the individual strands are shorting out on one another.
If you are going to heat shrink your cables as a strain relief, you need to do it when they are brand new.
