You’re Missing Out on iPhone Shortcuts—Let’s Fix That
1 min read
Summary
Shortcuts are one of the iPhone’s most useful but least utilised features, allowing users to automate common or repetitive tasks on their phone.
While it might seem intimidating to set up shortcuts, it is easy to do so and becomes quicker and more intuitive once you have started doing it.
Apple has a wide variety of pre-made shortcuts that users can use immediately, sorted by category to make it easy to find what you want.
These include “Running Late”, which will contact the person you are going to meet to let them know you are going to be late, and “Directions Home”, which opens up the maps application with your home address already inputted.
There are also more complicated shortcuts that you can create yourself utilising the automation feature.
It can be helpful to think of shortcuts like lego,stacking different actions on top of each other to create different results.
