Considering you primarily focus on Android, I think I speak for a lot of us iOS users when I say thank you for taking the time to make these customization videos. Yes, it’s a real pain, but you really do a great job explaining and walking us through the steps. Thanks again and love your wallpaper packs!
Honestly. I just spent forever customizing my front screen and now I’m probably gonna have to swap it back. I’ve been considering android for a while and honestly this might be the straw that breaks the camels back. I’m sick of their awful software. They really fell off with Steve Jobs. This is a such a stupid issue for such a large company… just like not allowing me to install software from outside their store, or have an animated wallpaper, or customize my photo widget, or remove text from beneath my apps/widgets, or having a USB C port… apple is now boomer tech.
Apple, they are so obsessed with their brand image they rather you have stock icons so it’s easily recognisable as an “apple device” and if you wanna have custom icons then they’ll want to make it annoying and inconvenient for users to have custom icons
@@ShadyRapture coming from an android user that recently bought an iPhone, "iOS sucks balls." Like why are files and gallery separated? Why aren't screenshots separated to photos taken on the camera? Why isn't there a dedicated back gesture that works everywhere, not just in specific scenarios? Why are scrolling screenshots limited to such few apps? Why does the phone have to show this banner each time you use a shortcut...? I am switching back to my old android and returning my iPhone. iOS as an OS is not dynamic AT ALL (this is coming from a myself, a developer).
Sadly on the latest update this no longer works and I get the shortcuts banner almost every time I open an app now. Would be great if you’re able to find a new workaround and share it 😊
Sam the man 👨🏼✨ Can you figure out how to navigate the shortcut notifications for 16.2 because for some reason this isn’t working for a lot of people with the new software update. Pretty please 🥺 🙏🏻
This all you already covered in iOS 16 home screen setup video n thanks for highlighting it, yes iOS is a pain when it comes to customisation but once you go through it, its awesome because iPhone with android setup rocks
There is a much easier way to hide the Shortcuts banner. All you need is to add the “Focus” line and set it to Do Not Disturb as your first line in your Shortcut. Then in the last line of your Shortcut you can disable the Focus. In fact, you can first check what Focus you are currently in and save that to a variable so you can set it back to the previous Focus.
Just tried this as it sounded like a great workaround, but unfortunately you see the "Do Not Disturb OFF" banner every time you open an app shortcut, which I think is definitely not as clean as the solution offered in the video.
I've been trying to play around with a few different methods out there, and this one once updated to 16.1.2 only works if I keep the shortcuts app open. As soon as I close the app the banner pops up. I did also notice that the banner will still short of show in some apps or others but only for a split second. Hopefully someone comes up with a better workaround soon!
16.2 ruined it I guess they’ve patched work arounds and made it “perfect “ again 😢 I am wondering what is their point to not give us a simple customisation option such a boring people!
I have an iPhone but I refuse to do any customization with this level headache, just take the win android. I had all this but i preferred stability and smoothness over customization.
Watching this video really made me appreciate the little things we have on Android especially much more granular and finer controls. Holy shit Apple really made iOS users jump thru a lot of hoops just to get their desired look. They don't want users to have an identity of their own but rather be sheep to a flock. Something that can be as simple is so tedious on iOS I can't imagine how many iOS users actually gave up customizing their iPhones even before they started.
THIS!!!!! I have been saying this for years. I hate that Apple forced everyone to have their phones looking just like everyone else’s, with no ability to customize it to your own taste and stand out from the rest. This is what makes me miss Android so much.
that's nice of you to explain this. but this steps people have to jump through is sooo stupid. i refuse to do any customization. biggest thing i miss about android!
I'm watching this video cause it seems to be the best video explaining how to hide the dock on your iPhone. Unfortunately, it's not working for me. Do I HAVE to download your wallpapers in order for the dock to hide or can I just find a wallpaper online? I've followed the instructions exactly as you have explained them, but the dock is still there. reduce transparency switch is off and dark mode is activated...I'm not sure what else I'm suppose to do. Does this not work with iOS 16.2? Any help is appreciated. Thanks for the video
i am still confused as to how hiding the dock works… isnt it supposed to work as long as the bottom part of the wallpaper is completely black/white? also, can you do it with gray as well?
Must not work anymore. This tricks works, but for me, it only works if I open the shortcuts directly from the Shortcuts app. If I resort to using the designated shortcut on the home screen always shows the little 'running' notification.
This was really helpful, but apple has ruined it once again... The notifications were gone until my phone auto updated to ios 16.2, and now I can't get it to go away again.. :(
This video was very great! Unfortionatly, right now with having notifications turned off, it still shows the "Open app (...)" notification. but other shortcut notifications are not showing, for example, "create a random number", or just "show notification". Could you explain why is that?
Depends upon your need. Both are great phones. If you need more sophisticated user interface, security.. Go for 14 Pro Max.. if you want to spend more time with your phone, wish to play with feature’s & customisation like new themes , icons matters for you then go for S22 Ultra.
Thanks but not working as of 3-31-23. Apple should not make it this hard. I have spent soooo much time trying to figure this out several times. I give up.
I just want to stop the annoying shortcut progress notifications iOS keeps displaying as I use the shortcut. It does not happen when you run the shortcut from inside the Shortcuts app, only if launched from home screen etc.. (iOS 16.5)
It did not work for me! :( did this stop working with iOS 16.0.2? I was so so excited to be getting into customizing my machine, then the update ruined it. Why is this even a thing?? I don’t need to be notified that the shortcut opened my app, I can tell by looking at the app it opened
Any chance you could make a video for the shortcuts banner to disappear for an iPhone 12 Pro Max on iOS 16.6. It’s driving me potty seeing this banner all the time. I tried your video even though that’s for a 14 iPhone thought I’d give it a go in case it worked but it doesn’t. Worth a try. But can’t find a video on here that does it for an iPhone 12 Pro Max on iOS 16.6.👍🏻
Did something change in the two days between when this was posted? Because following those steps didn't work for me, I can still see banners pop up whenever I open an app, even though I've turned off the notifications.
And you added the Show Notification shortcut to each app shortcut? I tested this on an iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 12, on iOS 16.1, and it's still working.
@@sambeckman Yes! I followed the steps so I’m not sure, maybe because I didn’t have 16.1 had something to do with it. After updating it seems to be working as expected, but thanks for following up though!
Hi Sam How can I disable the quick settings panel on the lock screen ( on Google Pixel phone) . I have changed the settings to replace the power button with Google Assistant so nobody can press it and turn off the phone . But anyone can easily just drag down the quick settings from the lockscreen and power off .
Has this stopped working? I had it all set up and 90% of the time, the notification wouldn't show. Since updating to iOS 16.2, I can't get shortcuts to show in notifications, hence cannot disable the banner.
Need an update to this video! They've broken it again!

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Thanks so much for the kind comment!
Please do it for ios 17
Apple really do be finding ways to make it harder for us
They should really just have an option to remove banners and the sounds from shortcuts like wtf
Tip: rename the show notification shortcut to “A” so it will show at the top of the run shortcuts list.
To be honest, what benefit Apple gets to show up that annoying shortcut banner? I don’t understand sometimes those tech companies

If you toggle "Reduce Motion" in accessibility settings, it will disable the app slide-in animation. Only downside is there is no longer an animation.
that's nice of you to explain this. but this steps people have to jump through is sooo stupid. i refuse to do any customization. biggest thing i miss about android!
It shows a running shortcut notification instead, it’s ridiculous we can’t easily change an icon. Android is so much better for customization.
@XO♡ No shortcut needed, you change the icon directly. You can also install launcher apps that will automatically transform all icons.
9 months later, Is there an easier workaround yet?

Have any of you have a problem that the notification turns"on" for the shortcut next day
Doesn't work on iPhone 12 ios 16.2
can the dock become invisible on a iPad?
Is there a free way to hide the dock instead of buying your pack
So sam! Which one you preferred to use? S22 ultra or iPhone 14pro?
Which is worth?
Depends upon your need. Both are great phones. If you need more sophisticated user interface, security.. Go for 14 Pro Max.. if you want to spend more time with your phone, wish to play with feature’s & customisation like new themes , icons matters for you then go for S22 Ultra.
