hi, is there a way to run a shortcut in action button for example and doesn't show the screen of the app toolbox/actions and then open the app shortcut itself. and just run the main shortcut ?
All these amazing shortcut videos, can you please come up with a shortcut to turn on and turn off device location when i open a certain app.? For example- “when i open UBER, Turn on Location “.
Im the biggest fan. Love how organized you are and you are one of the main reasons i bought an iphone. But please Stephen, please do a vid for getting around that itunes to apple music conversion. Whats the easiest way to download music? In Samsung that was so easy, i can download it and itll go straight to Samsung music. Please man, do one for me and so much other people who suffer from this.
Hey, appreciate it! And are you trying to add music to the Music app / library directly on iPhone? Unfortunately there's no way to do that right now, needs to be done on a MAc.
Big fan of your channel and podcast! 👍 How can you set up a voice-activated shortcut that asks ChatGPT a question and then announces the answer out loud? Sort of like a SiriGPT, or a built in Rabbit or Ai Pin. Thanks a ton!
After ending phone call I usually call someone mistakenly from recents with a one touch. Can you please create a shortcut to expect an approval in recents part ?
As to Power Thesaurus, is there a limitation on the number of characters in a word? I tired this word: "Antidisestablishmentarianism" and it returned this message: 'The Quick Look action wasn't passed any items to preview'! What do you suggest?
Hello Stephen, thank you for sharing these shortcuts. Please help! I'm having a challenge that I've searched all over the internet and couldn't find something to help me. I'm trying to create a shortcut that announces on the HomePod every day reminding me to pick up the kids from school. I'm using the "Set Playback Destination" action to "HomePod" and then "Make Spoken Audio" followed by "Speak." The problem is the sound comes out on the iPhone, not the HomePod. What's more frustrating is that when I test the shortcut, sometimes the sound comes out on the iPhone and then on the HomePod. Any idea what might be wrong? I didn't want to go down the route of having to record a message, put it in the Apple Music library, and then activate it via automation in the Home app. Thx :)
They don’t show as connected in this action. I show how to build the automation in detail here: ua-cam.com/video/3WJYX9r9q7g/v-deo.htmlsi=k_KBbcZkH78ri8Bv
These shortcut videos are very helpful and useful. I really liked the iPhone storage warning shortcut as I only have 8 GB of free space on my 15PM and would like to get notified if it falls below 5 GB.
Re play custom sound. If I buy the app. Will it expose the “play sound” when I create a home automation in a shortcut? usually the sounds or for personal device triggers only. I’d like if a front door sensor detects motion - then get sound (from your app) and play it. Because there’s play sound in stock shortcuts app. But not if you use it like above.
I can find a shortcut for playing a specific playlist, but I would love a shortcut that asks me each time which playlist I’d like to play. Then set the playback destination to different speakers and play automatically.
Is there a way to "force close" an app with Shortcuts? When running a shortcut from Widgy, it opens Widgy app, Shortcuts app, then the action... But the issue is when swiping the home bar from left to right to change app, those 2 are showing first, really annoying!
Unfortunately not. You can program it to open a couple other apps at the end of the shortcut and then return home, so you have different recent apps in the switcher!
Good afternoon Well, I'll tell you something about your video. I'm not saying it's not interesting But honestly, how many people who follow you and those who don't? has an advanced level in the topic of shortcuts probably 1% of that 1% the 30% practically already have all those shortcuts and more the rest of the people don't but you explain too quickly, it's impossible to follow even if you pause the video and pause it again they never work because we didn't understand how we should Of course that's my opinion and my way of seeing things slower videos or shortcuts for beginners constructive criticism thank you
Appreciate that! And I have a playlist that starts with video just for beginners here: ua-cam.com/play/PLCnyeuWW0bgaj8ZykefmxpSLZYX9sHdlS.html&si=VANRtNBq1fBm4DzM
My thoughts exactly. It's like I'm watching some kind of pointless nonsense. I'm trying to watch it, but it's not working for me. Not interested in the scripts or how to do it.

I wish that were possible! Unfortunately there are no Shortcuts actions for that yet.

Oh that's a good challenge, will cover in my next requests video soon!
@@beardfm can’t wait, thank you so much :)
How can I connect to a Bluetooth device and play Spotify after I stop my alarm?
How would the AirPods one work? Last I checked the AirPods are _always_ connected to your device.. unless it's either dead or in ultra low power mode.
They don’t show as connected in this action. I show how to build the automation in detail here: ua-cam.com/video/3WJYX9r9q7g/v-deo.htmlsi=k_KBbcZkH78ri8Bv

I’d like if a front door sensor detects motion - then get sound (from your app) and play it. Because there’s play sound in stock shortcuts app. But not if you use it like above.
Unfortunately it's not available for home automations, just checked.
Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.
Same to you!
Could you do a shortcut where a section of the screen is “tapped”. This would allow for interaction with apps that aren’t supported.
Hm I know this is an Accessibility option but not sure if it can integrate with shortcuts.
How do you stop shortcut notifications when you choose run automatically?
I can find a shortcut for playing a specific playlist, but I would love a shortcut that asks me each time which playlist I’d like to play. Then set the playback destination to different speakers and play automatically.
Oh that’s a good one. Will try to build soon!
Couldn’t you do that with menus?
I want to set up that my iPhone automatically switches on specific time from vibrate to silent. What is the easiest way to do this?
Focus mode and make an automation or just schedule it
Either you can set up a focus mode for it or you can just set up an automation like “at this time, turn on vibrate” or something.

How to create a shortcut for creating a alarm after 8 hours i.e when we run the shortcut, it should automatically create alarm after 8 hours
Oh good one, will work on that!
Hey, Siri! Alarm in eight hours.
Any for notifications trigger?
I need my phone to read my text while in driving please!
You can ask Siri directly to “read my last text”!
@@beardfm I've tried that but Siri needs me to unlock my phone first. Is there another way?
@@beardfm I've also tried creating a shortcut while in driving mode but I can't find one that applies
No device storage found in shortcuts bro! on iPhone bro.
You need the Toolbox Pro app for the action to appear

Yeah, I like it too! 😁
That's right! Got it on Amazon: amzn.to/3UnKT4C

Good afternoon

has an advanced level in the topic of shortcuts
probably 1% of that 1% the 30% practically already have all those shortcuts and more
the rest of the people don't
but you explain too quickly, it's impossible to follow
even if you pause the video and pause it again
they never work
because we didn't understand how we should
Of course that's my opinion
and my way of seeing things
slower videos or shortcuts for beginners
constructive criticism
thank you
Appreciate that! And I have a playlist that starts with video just for beginners here: ua-cam.com/play/PLCnyeuWW0bgaj8ZykefmxpSLZYX9sHdlS.html&si=VANRtNBq1fBm4DzM
I guess I’m not a beginner anymore, I understand everything without pausing the video😂
thank you so much
