I made a shortcut that would count down 3 2 1 and take a selfie picture, save it on my Photos app and then open Photos to show me the pic. Very useful for group selfies! Saves me so much time from - opening camera, set to front facing camera, set Timer count down, pressing the camera button, then opening the thumbnail of the pic! I set the timer count down because it's so hard to take a selfie on an outstretched hand and trying to acrobatically press the shutter button with one of my free fingers.
well, never thought about it, i didn’t have that problem since i got the watch. But it took me 5 mins creating this shortcut. Well idk if it is ok because it won’t show me a preview before taking the photo. But if it helps someone, I share the shortcut, hope it is what you’re looking for. You can say to siri “selfies time” and it should take a pic with front cam after 3 secs. www.icloud.com/shortcuts/df700ae0b2a34e7b8eb63f55693d97e2
If he's using speech, then it goes like this. 1. Text -object. Content: "3...2...1... Say cheese!" 2. Speak Text -object. (says what Text contains) 3. Take Photo -object. (set to Show Camera Preview Off, Camera: Front) 4. Save to Photo Album -object (I guess he could be using a specific album for these selfie images). 5. Open Camera Roll (show most recent photos, or the most recent photo). He could have the "Show Camera Preview" On, but then it would require for him to tap "take photo". I would modify the script like this: set Brightness to maximum right before running the "Take Photo" -object. Did that help, Mauricio?
good choice studies show that most android users don't call or chat with friends a lot and make less income than iphone users that is the reason why most of youtube is filled with android fans so ignore the other two, because no one wants bixby on their damn phone and no way in hell anyone wants a specific button for it
I made my own shortcuts where I choose a photo/photos, it pops up a menu where I choose Facebook or Instagram and it resizes any photos I select to the “best” suggested sizes for each of those social medias. I also created an Airdrop “app” that I have saved to my home screen. I click the app and it asks whether I want to share contacts, photos, or my clipboard and it takes whatever I choose and airdrops. Lastly, I made a Remind Me Later shortcut where you type whatever you want to be reminded about and you choose from 4 different time lengths from now (or customize the length) and sure enough it does so! Love this stuff! Had it when it was still Workflow 👏🏻👏🏻
I made a fuel tracker that asks for amount paid, amount of fuel received received, then it takes your current coordinates and then saves everything to a CSV file using Dropbox.
i've had so many android fans come in going "yeah yeah BIXBY LOL iOS sux!" but I don't see people actually posting any "yeah well iOS Shortcuts has limitations, here's what Bixby can do"... Could it be because nobody is using Bixby? ;)
I've downloaded a bunch and made a few myself, but for me at least, it's nothing that groundbreaking. Apps like ITTT already do similar on Android. I think Shortcuts would be a bigger deal if you travel a ton or have an automated home.
I made one for work, for when I go to lunch it adds 30 minutes to the current time and then sets a reminder 5 minutes before its time to go back. It’s simple but now I don’t have to guess/remember at what time I went to lunch 😬
Wow thanks so much! I tweaked the tip shortcut, my first! I like the total to be $.00, it asks for 3 inputs and provides the $tip to get your ending total to $.00 and tells you by doing so what the Tip% had to be to get to 00.
The one I use the most that I made is a toggle to actually turn Bluetooth & WiFi on or off since you can’t do that from the control center anymore. It’s not something that’s super impressive, but useful nonetheless.
I made a couple of cool shortcuts! (I’m sure someone else has made them too) I made “what’s my altitude” that shows a pop up of how many meters I am above ocean level. “Send current street address” that makes me select one of my contacts and it sends my current street address to them, and “copy GPS coordinates” that takes my coordinates and copies them to the clipboard 😄
As a long time Apple fan, the new Siri shortcuts are really intimidating. I tried a bit on my own, but these tips were super helpful. One of the most helpful videos for me that you’ve made! Thanks for the video, super helpful. As always, you’re great, hope your day is awesome.
I work 3 different varied shifts, and I have to have alarms in 15 min intervals while I’m getting ready to stay on track. Usually I go in and change the time in my 4-5 alarms every night. Now, I created one for each time I could possibly need an alarm, and created a shortcut to pull my next day’s calendar event and set the proper alarms based on the time of the event. Takes like a second now 👍🏻👍🏻
lazypassion now I wanna see a video about that cause it’s the same for me. I have 5 different schedules on 3 different week rotation for a total of 15 different week schedules so I definitely have those days where I almost miss the first appointment.
Are you able to have Shortcuts auto-set alarms? I've been trying all kinda of different code, including doing a manual menu where I pick which time the alarm is set, and I still can't get Shortcuts to actually turn on an alarm. The most I can get it to do is open the app and do nothing afterward.
So something I learned today was that not every possibility shows in search in Siri Shortcuts. But if you ask Siri I.e. Hey Siri and it works like enable alarm for x time that you have already set up then what you have just said becomes a suggestion in Siri Shortcuts app for you to add as a shortcut or build as a stack. So if you can’t find something try asking Siri first to see if it’s possible to begin with and then take it from there. As I wondered how people had commands in their stacks that I couldn’t see in my search. But there you go now I just need to try and think of all the shortcuts I want
I really like that Apple has integrated this into their ecosystem. The launchpad app (a 3rd party app in the iPhone app store) was fun to use but lacked the cohesiveness of being a real integrated product! So excited to try this out.
I’ve only just started using shortcuts and I don’t think I could do without it.. I’ve made a few simple ones. One I made was to find out what everyone needs to pay when splitting a bill between the amount of people eating at a restaurant, simple but useful for me..
I really don’t understand why people have given this content a thumbs down. It’s helpful and the links are incredibly easy to take advantage of. Great stuff, thanks Chris.
That police one is smart. The other Chris (Chris Lawley) has some great video on Siri shortcuts and how to make them. This really adds another level of creativity to Apple and it’s desire to push the future.
I didn’t even know that this was a thing, I gotta get the word out. This is a game changer for using Siri as an onboard assistant, instead of depending on extensions to provide full functionality of Siri.
I would like a shortcut in case I were getting robbed, I would say: "Hey SIRI: Harakiri" and the shortcut would execute a task to let the iPhone totally useless.
I just did one which turns my iPhone into the ‘do not disturb’ mode, sets an alarm and lowers the brightness of the display just by saying “hey Siri good night”. Pretty simple and pretty useful!
Hi! Can you tell me which case do you use for your iPhone in the video „why Siri Shortcuts are such a big deal“? Thx for your response.... greetings - Chris
Where can I find more exact instructions on the send a random text every day shortcut? I would like to adapt it slightly, like everyday but Sunday, and not good morning, but something else.
I have seen a video that showed a convert burst photos to gifs, which looked as though they were part of the default shortcuts in the gallery, but my gallery does not display this shortcut. I would be very grateful for such a shortcut.
Congrats guys! I too would like to know more on this, nice video! Android has had this since the beginning basically in multiple different ways but it's great that it's on iOS now... i love both IOS and Android so keep the tech videos coming!
Can I schedule to send a message or make a call in a specific time ? Like if I have to call someone everyday at 10am? How can I make it work without manually operation ? Thanks
Dailytekk, Shortcut / Workflow used to accessable by my Apple Watch. Now I can't after OS update. Why did Apple disable this function, while it should be more convenient to use Shortcuts and Siri to execute your daily tasks?
I tried to download an app (ex: Police). After clicking the link, an iPhone pop up appeared informing me that my Siri Shortcut Security setting does not allow for it. I could not find a way around this. Please advise. Thank you. Rob
I need help creating a shortcut on How to Convert the price of an item from a Foreign Currency (location based) to US Dollars. For instance... let's say that I'm in London or any other country, and I'm buying lunch at McDonald's... I would like to be able to convert the price of the menu item (or any item) into my home currency (US Dollars) to see if it costs more or less than if I were to buy the menu item at home... or just to be able to see how much it costs in US Dollars (or any other home currency anyone chooses)
Hello! I think it would be awesome to make a shortcut based to have random wallpapers selected from your camera roll (or a folder of your choosing). Also, the ability to support Live Photo’s would be even more amazing (kind of like how you can set up random live photos on the Apple Watch) . Please someone make this happen.
I can't figure out how to make the shortcut automatically send a specific gif to a specific friend. Every time I use the shortcut I created it sends it as text saying "IMG_1997" or something like that. I have it set to copy the gif from photos to keyboard and then send my clipboard to my friend. Why won't it send the actual gif?
Can these be voice activated? Not An iOS user atm, but looking into getting a Xr just cause I already have ipad pro. Currently I use a voice shortcut with Bixby saying "goodnight bixby" that turns off display, turns on DND, and sets alarm. Then one with "good morning bixby" to revert settings.
Awesome video....I don't have a iPhone but I guess having Siri do something based in my location would be super cool...like I'm heading in my College and it turns on do not disturb and other useful settings are set according my location....also I think apple should next build navigate through your apple devices using your voice completely...hands_free use... could be useful in many situations or just for fun...
the Location-change as trigger is not supported by Shortcuts. But, you could click on "Heading to College" from the Widget screen on your homescreen and go. That's what I do with my Faves -shortcut, which starts Podcast playback of Playlist "Faves" (which is automatically populated with specific music podcasts I'm subscribed to), sets do-not-disturb & low-power-mode and sets volume to a specific volume.
I tried to make one with all my morning alarms (I use 4 different alarms in the morning) and it worked, but then to make one that deactivate them all (weekend mode) I just can deactivate 2 out of 4... Am I doing something wrong?
Hi, I'm looking to create a shortcut that allows me to email a different pic everyday. I can get to an album via shortcuts. I don't want to sort it because I don't want to change the current order. I can easily create a group email via shortcuts. I'm missing the magic step...
Can anyone tell me where he got his case from? I looked the one that he linked to Amazon and it doesn’t look the same. The case in the video looks amazing. If anyone knows where he go if from, please message me! 🙏🏾👏🏾
Here are some Shortcuts I created: Ultra Low Battery turns off some not needed features and Cellular if you want www.icloud.com/shortcuts/0cea9ea7a61d460f9c0f0709317249c1 Toothbrushing Shortcut that opens Netflix: www.icloud.com/shortcuts/0cea9ea7a61d460f9c0f0709317249c1 Good Night shortcuts that turns on AirPlain Mode and turns off WiFi Bluetooth and co. www.icloud.com/shortcuts/573173308ba4453482bd7048ca5ee51c
I have a problem with sending WhattsApp messages in shortcut. I managed to get it to type in the message to the right person but it doesn’t actually send it. How do i get it to do that?
Can you please do a vid on the "cheapest we way to get on the Apple ecosystem". I've been an Android forever and considering moving... I'm specifically interested in knowing if the cheapest Apple set up would be worth it
Katlego Techie iPhone 6s or 7, apple watch series 3, non-pro iPad and maybe 2017 base model MacBook. AirPods are always nice. You can even go with an older Apple Watch, series 1 is still the slimmest 🤷♂️
Above comment is correct. I just upgraded my phone to the xs max but I still have the 7+ & it's still better than most Android phones. (though I'm partial to Apple in all honesty) Update to iOS 12 & it's good to go. Watch 3 is still a solid performer & better than any other smartwatch on the market save the series 4.
Katlego Techie to be honest moving to the apple ecosystem takes time and you won’t get the full benefits until you have more than one apple product, but even if you did get a single product you still get iMessage, Apple Pay (depending on the product) and airdrop not to mention Siri shortcuts. But for airplay or shared apps or music between apps you’d need more than one product. It’s a good business plan but it’s also very nice to be connected to everything in your house even if it leaves a hole in your pocket for a little bit
I was reading this going "yep, I agree", then you ended the sentence with "mp3". Well, I'm using a RUclips Downloader that downloads videos such as Siri Shortcuts tutorials, from the link, to my Camera Roll and then I can watch them offline. It's really great. Been using it loads.
I want to make a shortcut that plays the news podcast once my alarm goes off. Seems like the shortcuts app can only create an alarm, not link to an action if the alarm goes off... Any suggestions?
Get DailyTekk, I just wanted to say that now I got an iPhone and all because of you. Thank you so much and I wanted to say that it is a dream come true! (P.S-please include this comment in your next video! Thanks again!)
Install Shortcuts. Launch Shortcuts. Press "+" to Create New Shortcut Search for "Do Not Disturb". Add the "Set Do Not Disturb" -object. Tap on "Do Not Disturb -> On" then change the Until "Turned Off" to Until "I Leave". Test your shortcut by pressing Play. Then rename it to what you want to call it, you can add it to Siri, or to your Home screen, or just display it on your widget. In case you don't have the time to learn to use Shortcuts, just install this Shortcut. (DND Until I Leave) www.icloud.com/shortcuts/5a331b789b584d78b9c7d966a5f165ff
Hi! Can someone please make a siri shortcuts for me. I like to scan my receipts for my monthly bills in the Notes app and put it a Folder inside the Notes App under each Utilities company. Thanks
I think just for the privacy issue and quality of software and hardware integration in Apple's products and because of this shortcuts feature I'm about to switch from Android to Apple ecosystem. I will still keep my Galaxy Note 4 in a data only plan.
Spotify has not added hooks to Shortcuts, so we can't play, pause etc stuff with a shortcut. it is up to Spotify app developers to implement it. Everyone hopes they will, but please point feature requests to Spotify so they realise they need to do this.
I think I set up the random text shortcut exactly as stated in the screen in the video. It’s not waiting x many seconds though, whenever I run the shortcut, it’s sending the message the number of loops I entered immediately one after the other. Fortunately, I’m testing the shortcut sending messages to myself, not my friend I’m wanting to send a message too. Can someone help? It’s not a big deal at all, just something I’m wanting to try out.
How can I get my iPhone Xs to just look up something without saying "Hey Siri" xxxxxxxxx? Kind like the Pixels squeeze feature. Where's the nearest Walmart????????
I think Shortcuts is a fantastic idea but it is entirely too complicated for the average person. I have watched countless videos on it and no one explains how to actually build a shortcut.
I don't think it was intended that the average person build shortcuts. Most people will likely just copy what others have built. It's more important that features like this are useful than generally usable.
You can bake your own really easily. Just create a new shortcut and add "Send a message". Then you can decide who you wanna send it to, you could create buttons for specific people. Or even specific content.
Is this dream shortcut possible? Step1: Take a photo Step2: automatically adds a watermark Step3: Text the edited photo message to whom ever is on your calendar at the time the photo was taken. Or to anyone
Yeah, totes, we need more concrete examples and "this is how I tried to create it, but it broke, then I found this and made it work" type thinking-out-loud type videos.
Anyone made a shortcut for me to turn off WiFi when I leave the house and then turn on when I return? I’ve set up a short cut to get me to work, but I’d like to be able to have the phone recognise I’ve left the house and I’m going to work. Then tell me the best route.
Vishal Raval I believe right now the only thing that can “trigger” shortcuts to start is manually telling the shortcut to start. I’m still waiting for the day that we can have tasks automatically run based on changes to environment and/or a sort of “task scheduler” functionality to schedule certain shortcuts to run regularly at a certain time.
Vishal Raval www.icloud.com/shortcuts/43fe81dae53244eea4e92b0cffb86849 r is the radius around your address that you will have to enter and the number uptop is how long the program waits until it locates your phone again too see how close it is to the Adresse (if it is in the radius)
I’m trying to create a shortcut that can find somebody. Okay, let me explain: I want to have a shortcut that will navigate to my wife or son’s location. I want to extract their location using longitude and latitude and then paste those coordinates into Waze. I can use Find Friends, Find iPhone or Life360 to find them, but copying the information doesn’t work.

does it up the brightness to max before starting the countdown?
If he's using speech, then it goes like this.
1. Text -object. Content: "3...2...1... Say cheese!"
2. Speak Text -object. (says what Text contains)
3. Take Photo -object. (set to Show Camera Preview Off, Camera: Front)
4. Save to Photo Album -object (I guess he could be using a specific album for these selfie images).
5. Open Camera Roll (show most recent photos, or the most recent photo).

You talk too much ..just start with one and explain what should be done ...rather than rambling on things we have no idea on ..
Shortcuts are one of the reasons I’m selling my Note 9 and getting the Xs.
On android you have google Assistant along side with google IFTTT you can’t ask for better.
Siri is still years behind any other Personal assistant.
Seems like choice that does fit you
good choice
studies show that most android users don't call or chat with friends a lot and make less income than iphone users
that is the reason why most of youtube is filled with android fans
so ignore the other two, because no one wants bixby on their damn phone and no way in hell anyone wants a specific button for it
I made my own shortcuts where I choose a photo/photos, it pops up a menu where I choose Facebook or Instagram and it resizes any photos I select to the “best” suggested sizes for each of those social medias.
I also created an Airdrop “app” that I have saved to my home screen. I click the app and it asks whether I want to share contacts, photos, or my clipboard and it takes whatever I choose and airdrops.
Lastly, I made a Remind Me Later shortcut where you type whatever you want to be reminded about and you choose from 4 different time lengths from now (or customize the length) and sure enough it does so!
Love this stuff! Had it when it was still Workflow 👏🏻👏🏻
I made a fuel tracker that asks for amount paid, amount of fuel received received, then it takes your current coordinates and then saves everything to a CSV file using Dropbox.
Siri Shortcuts make me want to get an iPhone again!
i've had so many android fans come in going "yeah yeah BIXBY LOL iOS sux!" but I don't see people actually posting any "yeah well iOS Shortcuts has limitations, here's what Bixby can do"... Could it be because nobody is using Bixby? ;)

Also, where can I find that walllpaper at 4:13?
Can you make a shortcut for Audiible “start playing” for example
Awesome video my man. I have to ask where did you get your iPhone case? I love it!
Dose any know to to make that automatic text 5:48?
Can you leave a link to that case on your iPhone?
It's from Casetify... not sure the model

the Location-change as trigger is not supported by Shortcuts. But, you could click on "Heading to College" from the Widget screen on your homescreen and go. That's what I do with my Faves -shortcut, which starts Podcast playback of Playlist "Faves" (which is automatically populated with specific music podcasts I'm subscribed to), sets do-not-disturb & low-power-mode and sets volume to a specific volume.
Is there anyway to adjust the volume of the ringer in Shortcuts? The system volume can be adjusted but that doesn’t effect the ringer.
There doesn't seem to be a way to do that as of right now.
I wish spotify would update and add support for shortcuts already! There is a workaround but it's cumbersome to set up and is rather slow.
Who makes your iPad case?
Is there a way to make a shortcut that will be activated each day at a certain time/place?
I’ve seen a lot of questions about that. Don’t know the answer yet...
DailyTekk no there isn’t.
would love to be able lock the spring board from an icon instead of having to reach for the side button.
I tried to make one with all my morning alarms (I use 4 different alarms in the morning) and it worked, but then to make one that deactivate them all (weekend mode) I just can deactivate 2 out of 4... Am I doing something wrong?
Hi, I'm looking to create a shortcut that allows me to email a different pic everyday. I can get to an album via shortcuts. I don't want to sort it because I don't want to change the current order. I can easily create a group email via shortcuts. I'm missing the magic step...
Can anyone tell me where he got his case from? I looked the one that he linked to Amazon and it doesn’t look the same. The case in the video looks amazing. If anyone knows where he go if from, please message me! 🙏🏾👏🏾
I need to figure out this Homepod "airplay receptive" auto-play setting Shortcut.
magrudergrinder23 I've looked all over and can't find it. A lot of people on the sub Reddit day it doesn't exist
I think you just FULLY convinced me now lol
Great video! I was pretty excited to see Andy Mineo’s music is set to be blasted in someone else’s home as well!
Here are some Shortcuts I created:
Ultra Low Battery turns off some not needed features and Cellular if you want www.icloud.com/shortcuts/0cea9ea7a61d460f9c0f0709317249c1
Toothbrushing Shortcut that opens Netflix: www.icloud.com/shortcuts/0cea9ea7a61d460f9c0f0709317249c1
Good Night shortcuts that turns on AirPlain Mode and turns off WiFi Bluetooth and co. www.icloud.com/shortcuts/573173308ba4453482bd7048ca5ee51c
Can we edit another website in SMD?
Id love to count down my birthday via shortcuts
What is the case you use???
DailyTekk hey what case are you using?
Casetify atm
Which exact one on casetify
Does anyone have a link to the case he used in this video?
I have a problem with sending WhattsApp messages in shortcut. I managed to get it to type in the message to the right person but it doesn’t actually send it. How do i get it to do that?
WhatsApp & Shortcuts integration means that you cannot send a message automatically, as of right now.
What phone case are you using?
Casetify
Can you please do a vid on the "cheapest we way to get on the Apple ecosystem". I've been an Android forever and considering moving... I'm specifically interested in knowing if the cheapest Apple set up would be worth it
Katlego Techie iPhone 7, MacBook air or iPad 2018 with apple pencil, and series 3 AW. Done
Katlego Techie iPhone 6s or 7, apple watch series 3, non-pro iPad and maybe 2017 base model MacBook. AirPods are always nice. You can even go with an older Apple Watch, series 1 is still the slimmest 🤷♂️
This would actually be an interesting video
Above comment is correct. I just upgraded my phone to the xs max but I still have the 7+ & it's still better than most Android phones. (though I'm partial to Apple in all honesty) Update to iOS 12 & it's good to go. Watch 3 is still a solid performer & better than any other smartwatch on the market save the series 4.
Katlego Techie to be honest moving to the apple ecosystem takes time and you won’t get the full benefits until you have more than one apple product, but even if you did get a single product you still get iMessage, Apple Pay (depending on the product) and airdrop not to mention Siri shortcuts. But for airplay or shared apps or music between apps you’d need more than one product. It’s a good business plan but it’s also very nice to be connected to everything in your house even if it leaves a hole in your pocket for a little bit
The best one I've seen is a "RUclips Converter" shortcut that downloads any video (including music video) on to the gallery or saves it as an mp3.🔥🔥
I was reading this going "yep, I agree", then you ended the sentence with "mp3". Well, I'm using a RUclips Downloader that downloads videos such as Siri Shortcuts tutorials, from the link, to my Camera Roll and then I can watch them offline. It's really great. Been using it loads.
I see that Ravi Zacharias podcast. Haha so good!
I want to make a shortcut that plays the news podcast once my alarm goes off. Seems like the shortcuts app can only create an alarm, not link to an action if the alarm goes off... Any suggestions?
Shortcuts does not currently have a hook for "start shortcut when alarm is triggered".
Get DailyTekk, I just wanted to say that now I got an iPhone and all because of you. Thank you so much and I wanted to say that it is a dream come true! (P.S-please include this comment in your next video! Thanks again!)
How do I send at auto text message at a certain time in the future?
Samuel.S You can’t. At the moment, you can only trigger Shortcuts cuts via Widget button, Share sheet, or a Siri phrase
To seriously improve my productivity, I'm considering putting my smartphone in the trash.
What iphone case is that?
Anybody know what kind of case that is??
Can you please share the shortcut “DND Until I Leave”
Install Shortcuts.
Launch Shortcuts.
Press "+" to Create New Shortcut
Search for "Do Not Disturb".
Add the "Set Do Not Disturb" -object.
Tap on "Do Not Disturb -> On"
then change the Until "Turned Off" to Until "I Leave".
Test your shortcut by pressing Play.
Then rename it to what you want to call it, you can add it to Siri, or to your Home screen, or just display it on your widget.
In case you don't have the time to learn to use Shortcuts, just install this Shortcut. (DND Until I Leave) www.icloud.com/shortcuts/5a331b789b584d78b9c7d966a5f165ff
Link the apps you reference
Hi! Can someone please make a siri shortcuts for me. I like to scan my receipts for my monthly bills in the Notes app and put it a Folder inside the Notes App under each Utilities company. Thanks
is there a shortcut for Turing off all notifications so they wont show up on the lock screen ?
What case is that?
Connor van Egmond I noticed that too. I think it’s a gear4 case. I have the same one for the iPhone 8
Technology can be very nice.
Our devices keep getting better and better. *We are on a wild ride* to a very digital future.
I think just for the privacy issue and quality of software and hardware integration in Apple's products and because of this shortcuts feature I'm about to switch from Android to Apple ecosystem. I will still keep my Galaxy Note 4 in a data only plan.
You can use Spotify with Siri shortcuts ? I couldn't find it
This one works I put a space between icloud. and com
www.icloud. com/shortcuts/4dc295da01054a9c9c4dec28f6eeddbb
Spotify has not added hooks to Shortcuts, so we can't play, pause etc stuff with a shortcut. it is up to Spotify app developers to implement it. Everyone hopes they will, but please point feature requests to Spotify so they realise they need to do this.
I think I set up the random text shortcut exactly as stated in the screen in the video. It’s not waiting x many seconds though, whenever I run the shortcut, it’s sending the message the number of loops I entered immediately one after the other. Fortunately, I’m testing the shortcut sending messages to myself, not my friend I’m wanting to send a message too.
Can someone help?
It’s not a big deal at all, just something I’m wanting to try out.
Did you use the "Wait" object?
How can I get my iPhone Xs to just look up something without saying "Hey Siri" xxxxxxxxx? Kind like the Pixels squeeze feature. Where's the nearest Walmart????????
I think Shortcuts is a fantastic idea but it is entirely too complicated for the average person. I have watched countless videos on it and no one explains how to actually build a shortcut.
ruclips.net/video/kitp6ePnJtg/видео.html
RAY exactly! I can’t do anything out of it!
What kind of a shortcut did you have in mind?
You can. But what is it that you want to do with it?
I don't think it was intended that the average person build shortcuts. Most people will likely just copy what others have built. It's more important that features like this are useful than generally usable.
Dope vid. Thanks bud
No problem bud
Where can I get the shortcut that automatically sends message ?
You can bake your own really easily. Just create a new shortcut and add "Send a message". Then you can decide who you wanna send it to, you could create buttons for specific people. Or even specific content.
Thanks for this! Really helpful z
Is this dream shortcut possible?
Step1: Take a photo
Step2: automatically adds a watermark
Step3: Text the edited photo message to whom ever is on your calendar at the time the photo was taken. Or to anyone
Does anyone know how to turn on Downtime with shortcuts?
One with a Siri trigger phrase to generate a txt message and then send to a contact :)
I want one that will tell me what time I will get home but I can only get it to tell me how long it will take to get home
Finally a video actually with some concrete examples, looking forward to see more!
Yeah, totes, we need more concrete examples and "this is how I tried to create it, but it broke, then I found this and made it work" type thinking-out-loud type videos.
Finally I can have a button that actually turns the WiFi OFF!
I’m a teacher, and I’m interested in any Siri shortcuts for Canvas instructor app.
Anyone made a shortcut for me to turn off WiFi when I leave the house and then turn on when I return?
I’ve set up a short cut to get me to work, but I’d like to be able to have the phone recognise I’ve left the house and I’m going to work. Then tell me the best route.
Vishal Raval I believe right now the only thing that can “trigger” shortcuts to start is manually telling the shortcut to start. I’m still waiting for the day that we can have tasks automatically run based on changes to environment and/or a sort of “task scheduler” functionality to schedule certain shortcuts to run regularly at a certain time.
Vishal Raval www.icloud.com/shortcuts/43fe81dae53244eea4e92b0cffb86849
r is the radius around your address that you will have to enter and the number uptop is how long the program waits until it locates your phone again too see how close it is to the Adresse (if it is in the radius)
Vishal Raval in your contacts you need to add your home and work address and then Siri will know.
Thanks for this!
I’m trying to create a shortcut that can find somebody. Okay, let me explain: I want to have a shortcut that will navigate to my wife or son’s location. I want to extract their location using longitude and latitude and then paste those coordinates into Waze. I can use Find Friends, Find iPhone or Life360 to find them, but copying the information doesn’t work.
