Thanks for the shortcuts! Only issue I have is running the screenshot shortcut when I take a screenshot. All that is happening is the screenshot shows and goes to the bottom left corner waiting for me to choose what do with it and not actually doing what I have set for it to do.
Thanks Stephen...Shortcuts were tested in Delhi and Sao Paolo and Frankfurt and worked great while on a layover.......I added in "Speak Text" to the shortcut so it gives me an aural as well. ....Now I just gotta figure out how to speak that Data Jar " Hotel room number" result when I arrive at the Data Jar "Location."...... Very useful and appreciate your work on this.....Cheers
So glad it’s been working Ian! And that part of the automation is tough since the address / location changes every trip. And you can’t “auto create” an automation based on a trigger. I’ll keep thinking though 🤔
Just come across your channel via Matthew Cassenelli's website. Subscribed immediately. Your snake feeding shortcut would work excellently with an NFC tag (attached to the tank - sorry if that's not the right term for a snake's house)
You're welcome! And battery health can't be brought up in a Shortcut, unfortunately. Best you can do is use a URL scheme to jump to that part of settings.
Building off the pet feeding shortcut. I’ve got a complicated request. Can you make a shortcut that runs on specific days assigned to specific people to log if each dog eat their entire meal a.m. and p.m. and also ask if they had any potty accidents in the house and record number one number two and approximate time, they pooped outside and if they did was it normal or something else. This would be a huge tremendous help to my big family Keeping track of our four dogs!
Here’s my favorite new shortcut/ automation. When my phone connects to CarPlay, it uses an automation to turn on my fave Sirius channel on the app and then drop down a menu of my other fave channels at the same time in case I want to listen to something else. The menu is a shortcut that I also keep on my drive focus mode phone screen so I can access it at any time - because the Sirius app interface is crap.
One shortcut I made that I like is my iPhone and Watch automatically turn silent mode on when I disconnect from my Wi-Fi network, because I want it to be silent when I'm outside. My AirPods Pro also automatically turn on transparency mode. When I'm back home connected to my wi-fi network my phone and watch automatically turn silent mode off.
Thanks Stephen for this series on Shortcuts. Isnt' there a shortcut on iPhone as it is that prompts one to send the shortcut to the chosen contact from a sharesheet to in any installed app? One can adopt your Hotel Room # app in a new location to find her way back to the place where she is staying. 🙂
REQUEST: Have you covered a shortcut for whenever someone is to take a photo of their dog (or animal of choice), to then add this into a shared folder? As apple image recognition identifies my dog ‘schnauzer’, can this be utilised? Love your content! It’s saved a lot of time and frustrations! Thank you
Can you do a shortcut to remind text a person listed on your calendar about the appointment that’s been set? Maybe about a hour in advanced? Shortcuts will operate the whole day if possible.
Are there shortcuts that work with AirTags? Let’s say for example a simple one: receiving a notification when it arrives to specific destination I decided.
I just had an idea. Normally I use my action button for the flashlight, I could instead use a shortcut to only toggle the flashlight if nothing else fits. The other thing (so far) would be to create a reminder of the current running podcast episode and the time to get back to that exact spot later - if a podcast is running. I couldn’t figure out how to get that data, is this possible?
is there a way to create a shortcut/automation, that I can use an NFC tag with, to log when I take my daily medicine? I have my medicine set up in the "Medicine" app for my apple watch, and I know how to use NFC's to trigger shortcuts and automations, but I haven't been able to find a way to specifically "log medicine as taken", with a shortcut or automation. I saw one youtube video do it, but they could only do it by creating a Reminder, and having the NFC trigger that Reminder to be "Marked as completed', but not one that could actually log the medicine. You can skip the NFC tag part as the trigger being that part of the process is easy for me, but if you can find a way to create a shortcut/automation that will actually log my medicine as taken, that would be fantastic!
I have a Shortcut request. Is there a way to make a shortcut for call audio routing? Reason: I prefer speaker phone unless i'm driving. When I'm driving, i want calls to be routed to bluetooth headset. when i am not driving, I want them routed to the speaker on my iphone. thanks in advance!
hi stephen, how if deleted the shortcuts apps but still working the automation, if i open the apps like facebook or messenger in a seconds it will turn to the camera & alarm timer what should i do? pls can you help?
These are not complicated if you’re on a pro level. But the rest of us it is. Was trying to do the silence phone and watch. It’s more than just following the link.
Is there a way send a message to iPhone when Apple Watch is placed on its charger and a message when the Apple Watch is fully charged. I know a message is sent by default but I usually miss it as it comes across silently.

I do try to balance speed for UA-cam and slower for understanding. But others have found changing the playback speed to .5 or .25x helps! Meanwhile others play at 2x or 3x 😳
Please keep doing shortcut videos. I love these!
Glad you like them! Will be a staple of the channel for sure n
Love the airdrop menu shortcut. Keep the shortcuts ideas coming.
Thanks, will do!
More iPhone content! Thanks Stephen ❤
Will keep it coming!
Please keep doing shortcut videos. Excellent !!! Very genius. 👍👍
Will do! And check out the playlist, lots of shortcuts ideas there too
I love the shortcuts video. I have been adding and adding more every week. My favorite is turning my car on every workday at 6:00 am to warm it up.
Oh nice! Appreciate it, and will have more coming!
Hey Stephen I can't find a way to create an automation to auto start Spotify when connected to car Bluetooth. Only for Apple music. Any suggestions?
Thanks for sharing these shortcuts. Blessings on your day.
Thank you! You too!

Love the action button shortcuts menu, a game changer🫠
Glad it's helpful!

One more thing. Can you add or edit a shortcut menu already built for the action bottom? Thanks
You can! It will use any changes you make to the shortcut next time you trigger the action button
The old school Rumble pack is getting all my attention 😊
Haha I found mind and was intending to use it in a video soon...

I must be missing something. How do I take a screenshot without having the screenshot shortcut on the same page.
You can program the shortcut to run on the Action Button for 15 Pro, or as a back tap in accessibility > touch accommodations on any iPhone model

I wish! I log several medications through the Health app and strangely there are no "log as taken" actions available. So can'y do it just yet.
Very awesome video. Can you create a shortcut or automation so screenshots are added to my Todoist inbox?
Oh will try that!
thanks !😃
Welcome!
is there a away we can have short to display CCTV camera when we tap on NFC tag?
Can you silence the iphone by turning it upside down like I could on my Android? Thanks.

I would love a shortcut that when my phone is done charging it sends a notification to my iPad and Mac to tell so, I just don’t like leaving connected
You can actually do that with Pushcuts! I believe I show it here: ua-cam.com/video/MQchFoNRLsc/v-deo.htmlsi=JP3JftMtoyBa8VNk

Is there a way send a message to iPhone when Apple Watch is placed on its charger and a message when the Apple Watch is fully charged. I know a message is sent by default but I usually miss it as it comes across silently.
It's not work for open app when phone is lock
what about custom sleep timer ?
Yeah I was working on it but that was a specific app action and not system wide. Will need Apple to add that into shortcuts

Hey! Great question but Shortcuts can’t auto-forward a call unfortunately. You may want to look into Google voice for that

You’re welcome! Unfortunately that’s the best we can do right now. No direct shortcuts actions for that
Please a shortcut to send mass text messages with text and photos individually!!!
Hey! So send a photo to a bunch of people at once you mean?
Yes, a photo with a message to list of people, but not in group. I am able to do or either or but not at the same time.
@@cidmcottoI've got one of those :)
Hi
Is there a Sorcat to remotely disable or lock iPads/iPhones in our family group?
Not a shortcut, but you can login to iCloud.com and do that!
@@beardfm yes, but I wanted to use one button instead of entering separately!

Like you want to stop sending texts automatically once they reply with that?

I want to Mark a SMS as spam.

Insert date
Email it with text.

Then Mark that and as spam and block it.
Similar with calls
Take a screenshot
Insert the details of the spam caller, date and email this as a screenshot with text.
Save the screenshot
Mark the call as spam and so block it.

Maybe just a picture of your room number?
Yeah but this can do room number, directions back, and more if you build it in!
Ugh…you talk too fast through the part “fast forward two minutes action button”…
Sorry about that! If you tap the gear icon you can slow down the video to 0.5x speed
First ❤❤❤
Stephen slow down please. No everyone is as fast as you 😟
THANK YOU FOR ASKING !!
Couldn’t you pause, rewind, and change the playback speed?
That’s right! You have to teach even that, soon you will want Stephen to take your hand to create each shortcut. Wtf lol lazy guy!
@@ID.Manager wtf is your faqing attitude?? who asked your faqing opinion anyway??
I do try to balance speed for UA-cam and slower for understanding. But others have found changing the playback speed to .5 or .25x helps! Meanwhile others play at 2x or 3x 😳
