I want my morning routine to be an automation every morning when I snooze my alarm and play through my HomePod with weather, upcoming events and Apple news morning highlight and then play a playlist all spoken and played through my HomePod and to only do this when I’m home
With the new updates, I can’t find “show reminder list” in the selections. Did they remove it or am I missing something? Thanks in advance! Great video. 3:22
So how do you get Siri to read your morning routine? Your individual reminders and your calendar events? Then the weather from Apple‘s iPad source? That’s what we need, that’s what will change. We don’t need directions on how to get to work because we go there every day, although why is the traffic is light or heavy would be helpful. Thanks so much.
This is a useful video but I did some playing round with it and you use automations within shortcuts and that allows you to set a voice to speak text and also open apps. It's still clunky though. I set up timers to nag my child to get ready and tell me the weather at 7.am. @@FemaleVillageElder
Hey Carl, my Samsung Galaxy has this Bixby routines feature where I can set the routines to begin playing music from a Spotify playlist at a set time everyday. I’m thinking of switching to the iPhone but I really love this feature. Can I get something similar from the iPhone?
Can you set up something like this? Setup a Daily routine, where your routine is take morning meds, then the next reminder is 3 hours later once you complete your morning meds reminder and then 3 hours after the second reminder you get another reminder.... etc....
I suspect you can. However, it probably would be easier if you were to set up individual reminders to alert you for each instance separately. This way, there is less that could go wrong and you don't have to spend hours fiddling with Shortcuts to get it to work.
I am looking for something that is audible, and use a voice to remind my task example a voice in speaker says” it’s 830am it’s your coffee time” or “it’s 15 past 9 you have meeting in 30 mins” Basically that’s reads out lout my schedule every 15 or 30 mins
Is there a way for Reminders to monitor your daily habits (either within the app or in relation to another app), according to what you check off each day, to measure your progress and identify weak points to improve? A graphic chart would be ideal.

Is there a way to get Siri to remind me to do things on a particular date without prompting her first? This would be useful for people with memory problems. Or is there another app that would do this
At this stage, no. Future development may allow this to happen. (However, you may find something if you dig around in accessibility option in your settings--that's a bit beyond me)
I followed your instructions and tried this, but when I clearly say "Hey Siri, start my morning routine" she consistently actions "Ok, the Home theatre is on" (and turns on the tv).... so I thought it was an accent issue and retitled Morning Routine in reminders to "Day" and updated the shortcut to Show Day, but when I tried "Hey Siri, start my Day..." she just errored. I can now see a small font message under the Shortcut Reminder title that says "Hey Siri, show reminders list"... which I presume is the command, and that it will then show whichever reminders list has been chosen and set in this shortcut. So I can see how it works. But I'm confused by how you're using different instructions to this, with "start my morning routine". ? I've done some more troubleshooting and if I say "hey Siri, show my X list" then she will display and read out the list - which gets the same result but without the shortcut. The only problem is that I don't want her to read them out, just display them. Can you help in how to turn off her audio readback in this situation? thanks
Hi Jenny, are you setting this up using Siri Shortcuts or just creating the list. If you are not using Shortcuts, you will need to say "Hey Siri! Show me my morning routines list"
What I really want is, a script that senses when "I" (my phone) approaches my Homepod Mini speaker, and have it automatically fire off a script, reminding me to check my blood pressure, take my medicine, and weigh myself. Any ideas about that?
That may be possible in Shortcuts, Peter. The only issue I can see is you would need to trigger the shortcut by location. I don't think you can trigger it by being close to a particular device.
I heave created Reminder lists for Morning Routine and Nightly Routine. Now what I need is an automation to run at say 9 PM everyday that checks my Nightly routine and if there is anything still on the list for today, then SIRI will remind me to do them. I know I can run an automation at a certain time of day, but is it possible to get SIRI to give me a list of uncompleted tasks?
Actually, I was able to figure something out that works almost as well. I also added times of day on when the task needed to be completed by. If it hasn't been completed by the designated time, I get an alert on my phone letting me know that I still need to complete that task.
@@astrx. I didn't create an automation. I set up reminders and set the Date to be Daily, Weekly, a specific day of the week, et cetera and then set the Time of Day to be a specific time that they needed to be done by. If I don't check them off on that due date by the time of day, then I get a notification on my iPhone that the task has not been completed. Once I check off the task, the date due is reset to the next due date of tomorrow, next week, let cetera depending on how the task was set up. The Reminders app takes care of everything else. I have a Morning routine checklist, a nightly checklist, a Thursday and a Saturday checklist.
First thing I pick up in the morning? Is my cup of coffee … then I walk with the dog and then its time for my electronics. The phones aren’t even in our bedroom.
You just 'reminded' me that I can use Reminders for my routines so that they don't clog up my Todoist. Ta for that :-)
You're very welcome 😎

I'm sure that's possible through Shortcuts, but you will need to do quite a lot of work to make it function correctly.
I've been searching for the exact same functionality and I am quite disappointed to have wasted my time on this instead!
@@srinathm3836 I’ve kind of worked it but might need a different app for the news
@@srinathm3836 I can share it to you if you want, bunch of shortcuts in an automation
wow

Hi Toni, I think shortcuts are changing all the time. You can create the list and ask Siri to "Show me my morning routine list" and it will work.
So how do you get Siri to read your morning routine? Your individual reminders and your calendar events? Then the weather from Apple‘s iPad source? That’s what we need, that’s what will change. We don’t need directions on how to get to work because we go there every day, although why is the traffic is light or heavy would be helpful. Thanks so much.
To do that, you would need to set up quite an elaborate Siri Shortcut. I haven't mastered Shortcuts yet.
@@Carl_Pullein I don’t think many people have. Apple needs to bake a lot more things into the OS and not make people try to master shortcuts.

That might be something Amazon's Alexa could do.
It’s cool Carl
great tip, Carl!
I need to make wake me up!!
You can set an alarm for that.
I’m trying to use shortcuts to tell me whether or not I need to water the flowers based on how much rain we’ve had. Is this possible?
Ooh, I'm not sure that would be possible. However, it may be possible to have a weather app tell you if it has rained in the last 24 hours.
Hey Carl!! How can I create a short cut that Siri read my reminders then calendar and new emails?
ooh, I'm afraid that's far beyond my capabilities with Siri Shortcuts.

I doubt Apple will do anything like that. What are looking for is likely to come from a purpose-built habit tracker.
@@Carl_Pullein Why wouldnt they? It would be only logical, such a basic tool
Do you know of apps that do this?

I believe if you go through Shortcuts that is possible.

@@Polkster13 but you could if you set a silent alarm at 9pm and use that to start the shortcut

you have a coffee maker in your bedroom?!?!?!?
I dream of making this happen but I am so addicted to my electronics!
Bully for you.
No alarm?

You don't need the shortcut for this. You can just say "Show my morning routine list."
You can, you're right.
I tried that. It didn’t work.
