Can you recommend some good NFC tags? I’ve bought some before, but they had terrible range and so they were tricky to actually connect to. I had the press my iPhone 13 right up against it in a very specific spot. It was very fiddly.
I have an NFC tag on my guitar to automatically open up my tuning app. I have one under my desk that I tap when I want it to turn my phone into do not disturb mode and start playing my focus music on Spotify. I have another one in my car under the steering wheel that I tap to bring up the Exxon Mobil app to pay for gas (that one I actually forget about and it’s probably faster to just ask Siri to open the app then it is to tap)
Yes, but I think using QR codes to take people to a website is better. I have a printed QR code with my guest Wi-Fi password in a QR code in my guest bedroom. I don’t think most people would know to tap an NFC chip.
Same diagnosis here and shortcuts combined with voice recognition is a HUGE add to our quality of life and independence. This video helped me upgraded my previous alarm automation that speaks the weather , emphasizing precipitation & clouds as it effects my vision, my calendar events and a reminder to have a great day. Best of luck!
Great info. As someone with macula degeneration and therefore poor eyesight, the use of NFC dots could be very useful for me around the house. I have not used automations or reminders to any great degree so time all of these together, could be very handy for me and people like me. Many thanks.
An addition to 7:39: You can also just use your work focus and then trigger an automation based on whether your focus is turned off or on and therefore set the unknown callers silent or not. This is especially useful when your work focus is triggered with your location, at certain times or you just trigger it manually
Wow Tom everyday's a school day for me. I love your channel, I've never heard of a NFC tag until today so yes please more info when you're ready thank you. I so pleased I'm able to support your channel in a small financial way and hope that others will too I appreciate your generosity and everything you do for us.
Apple AirTags also contain a built in NFC. By default, I think they show the owner's contact info (if you provide it at setup). But they can also be used to trigger automations. So if I name an AirTag "My keys", I can set an automation on my phone to run an action every time it detects "My keys". I set up a simple automation to give me directions home with one tap. The good thing is that if someone else were to scan it, they would only get the default because the automation is specific to my phone. Just saying that if you want to try out NFC automations, and you already have an AirTag you can try it out on that.
i just used this tip to set up an automation to 1. start an outdoor cycling workout 2. play my fav playlist 3. open pokemon go when I scan my bicycle airtag 😂😂
Thanks for another brilliant video. After watching this I added a tag to many of our home appliances, boiler and other stuff, pointing to their PDF manuals
Thanks for this video - you’ve sparked my interest in NFC tags and a video suggesting uses for these would be appreciated… I can imagine getting carried away with these around the house!
I agree, the NFC automatons are really interesting. I did not pay much attention 3 months ago as I had no need but I got a new insulin pen yesterday and remembered this video. I want to download the payload from the NFC and add it to a line in Excel.
Great video! Your explanations are incredibly clear and helpful. This is my first time watching your channel, and I'm impressed by the amazing clarity and usefulness of your content. I'll definitely be checking out all of your videos, starting from the beginning. Thank you so much!
Mate. I can’t tell you how awesome your videos are. Nearly every one has me using my Apple gear in better ways. This one helped me to turn on my Bluetooth when I opened my Garmin Connect app and then turn it off when I close it. Doing away completely with the need to mess with settings. Thank you.
Brilliant video - as always! I’m loving the NFC tags and just getting into them. Could you possibly make a video on how smart plugs could be used to turn ON/OFF lights etc by tapping an NFC tag? Thank you!
I just say “Siri Snooze” or “Siri Stop” when my alarm is going off. But I would also like to say - loving this series, there are things I didn’t know, and it’s presented very well.
Tom, thank you for an _excellent_ video - *again.* Like many others, I'd be really interested in a video solely devoted to the NFC tags. Particularly thinking of my elderly Dad who is partially sighted _and_ has ADHD, so anything that automates things will also help him stay living independently for as long as possible. Wondering if NFCs can also integrate with Alexa to cue audio prompts?🗣
One tip I think could help with one aspect, get some small nfc dots that you can color and put them on the tops of his medicine bottles. (I’ve never done it, but I know it can be done.) Setup an automation to write in his notes app which pill it was and the time, or send you a text for top he scanned. It will take time to get used to the process, but it’s similar to how hospitals do it.
This is gret information. I would love more ideas to use for NFC tags. I purchased a pack on Amazon and have only used a few. I would love ideas on what else I could use them for!
Great video 👍🏻 one question: is it somehow possible to share existing automations with other devices? (E.g. once I‘ve created an automation on the iPhone I‘d like to send it over to the iPad)
thank for the informative and clear explanation. Doe you have, or can you do, a video withe the use of menu's in shortcut? And is there a way to interact with an app through a shortcut. For example, if I'm not home and my phone connects to the handsfree set in my car I want my iPhone to start playing a playlist (this works) and start navigating home with the Waze app. I can start it up but seem not to be able to select or input "home" and start navigating.
Great video! Finally, these useful shortcuts are now explained and of course further and more complete or complex shortcuts would be welcome to be taught or just to discover.
In your dogfood example, can you add the reminder to a specific subtask in a reminders list using shortcuts and not just to the "root" of the reminders list? I don’t see an option to specify the subtask as well ..?
Really like the NFC tags for pdfs. Used to use QR codes in an old building to provide key historical information on an indoor orienteering route. But I do like the idea of setting up a pdf on the cat’s dish for all her routines and instructions in case of emergencies. The reminder add is cool but for me quicker for me to ask Siri on watch or iphone.. However, that would exclude the relevant webiste link, so I can see a benefit in such circumstances. Would really like more on NFC and enjoying reading the comments for others’ use of them. Thank you
Good video as always, thanks. I should point out that currently in the iOS 17 beta the option to “don’t ask” is no longer available. There now exists a drop down under the Automation label to either “Don’t run” or “Run after confirmation”. Which I find disappointing.
Great video - have already purchased NFC tags and made my first NFC automation 🙂 One question; can shortcuts and automations be shared (e.g. with my wife), or do I have to replicate them manually on her iPhone?
Thank you for this video. If that notes app is the native Apple notes, how did you get blue text. Mine is black (13:23). I’m looking in the description but not seeing a link to use NFC tags. Can you pop that in for us since they appear to be working and have 3M stickies. Cheers
Can I suggest a video idea? Purpose: Tracking how much time spent at a particular location. So a video to show step-by-step how to get your phone create a calendar entry when the user enters a location with title "you entered location-A at this time"; and when leaves the location a calendar entry titled "you left the location-A at this time". I tried myself using the Shortcuts app but was stuck in the process and gave up. I'm sure you can make it happen! Thanks and keep up the good work. Cheers
Agreed. Even following not her channel on how to set up a daily weather read out; the shortcut app is so convoluted that I just gave up on getting it to work like the guy in the video. So, I don’t even try to do my own anymore.
This can be done using either the built-in location automation in shortcuts ("Arrive" and "Leave"), which must be triggered manually or you could use a Focus, which you set to be turned on at a certain location, which can be run completely automated, but can be unreliable when exiting the focus mode, while still at that location. Step-by-step for the location automation: 1. Create personal automation 2. Select "Arrive" 3. Click on "Location" and select your desired location 4. Click "Next" on the upper right 5. Tap the search and type "location" 6. Select and add "Get Current Location" 7. Tap the search and type "new event" 8. Select and add "Add New Event" from calendar 9. Click on "Title" and type "You entered location - " and select the variable "Current Location" 10. Click on "Tomorrow at midday" and select variable "Current Date" 11. Click on "Tomorrow at 1pm" and select variable "Current Date" 12. Click on the arrow of the calendar event 13. Toggle off "Show Compose Sheet" 13.a. Additionally you can add the "Current Location" to the "Location" field 14. Click "Next" on the upper right 15. Click "Done" Now to create a new calendar event when leaving your location: 1. Create new personal automation 2. Select "Leave" 3. Click on "Location" and select location set at arrive automation 4. Click "Next" on the upper right 5. Tap search and type "location" 6. Select and add "Get Current Location" 7. Tap the search and type "new event" 8. Select and add "Add New Event" from calendar 9. Click on "Title" and type "You exited location - " and select the variable "Current Location" 10. Click on "Tomorrow at midday" and select variable "Current Date" 11. Click on "Tomorrow at 1pm" and select variable "Current Date" 12. Click on the arrow of the calendar event 13. Toggle off "Show Compose Sheet" 13.a. Additionally you can add the "Current Location" to the "Location" field 14. Click "Next" on the upper right 15. Click "Done" To make the Focus automation work, you first need a Focus, which you automatically turn on at your desired location. Afterwards you can enter the Shortcuts app: 1. Create a new personal automation 2. Select the Focus you want to be automated 3. Click "Next" on the upper right 4. Proceed with the same steps as the location automation starting from step 5 14.a. Uncheck "Ask before running" Now when exiting the location: 1. Create new personal automation 2. Select the Focus you want to automate 3. Deselect "When Turning On", Select "When Turning Off" 4. Click "Next" on the upper right 5. Proceed with the same steps from the exiting location automation starting from step 5 14.a. Uncheck "Ask before running" You could also just edit your calendar entry end set the "End Date" to the "Current Date" when exiting the location, but this is a bit harder to explain
Nice video :-) Would love to see more on automations and e.g. smart home. At this moment I'm looking for the ability to switch between SIM card and eSIM at certain hours of the day.
Excellent stuff. 2 points: 1. Many automations are in pair- OnOpen, OnExit. Is there any way out or hasn’t apple thought about it? 2. In order to know if the NFC tag has been read, another option is to throw up a notification saying ‘xyz has been done’’.
Thank you so much for your wonderful, helpful videos. SUGGESTION: I've been unsuccessful creating Shortcut/Automation to take a photo when I say 'shoot'. Could you please cover this? It would be very helpful for my old hands.
Follow the steps in this video to create the voice control shortcut (for when you set an alarm). But instead, have voice control toggle on when you open your camera app, and toggle off when you close it. Then you would say "turn up the volume" with the camera app open to take a photo. (as it will use the volume up button, which is also a shutter button)
I liked this video a lot , it help me so much , we need more video’s for the automation on shortcut , another thing i need to creat an automation on shortcut to open bluetooth when i get on car and disable it when get out of car to save battery,can you help on that ..? Doe’s it depends on location or timing.? Thank again bro
I live in China so most of times I use vpn to access apps. The automations method for apps to auto run vpn is game changer for me, THANK YOU SO MUCH❤. btw I tried and we can add multiple apps in a single automations.
Great video not sure if you have Google Hello doorbell. I miss the notification when someone rings the bell. I’ve been trying to setup an shortcut to send me a text or a louder notification but had no luck any advice?
This was informative. Interested in a dedicated NFC video. Can you use NFC tags with Apple Watch? Are there any security risks with NFC tags? Which one should we buy? Examples are helpful thanks again
Can I have different VPN automations for different apps? Let’s say I want to connect to USA when opening UA-cam because that lets me use “Picture in Picture” mode. But usually I connect to a different country so is there any way to create an automation that specifically connect to USA regardless of my latest manual choice in the VPN app?
Another brilliantly helpful video. NFCs in my holiday rentals will be really cool. Suppose they could link to UA-cam ‘how to’ videos? So yes, more of these automations especially NFC related, please.
@properhonesttech Excellent video, as always! Can't wait to grab some NFC tags and enable these automations. Yes, yes, yes, please make a follow-up video! XXOO

I tried to create your automation with Pia and starting an app. The automation runs fine but Pia doesn't connect. Not sure why
NFC to create reminder is a neat trick, and CarPlay automation is also cool. More NFC automation ideas would be welcome.
I have an NFC tag on my guitar to automatically open up my tuning app. I have one under my desk that I tap when I want it to turn my phone into do not disturb mode and start playing my focus music on Spotify.

I used NFC tags back in my Android days - would be interested in more ideas on using them w/ automations and shortcuts. Thanks!
Thanks a lot….im trying to set the stop alarm using voice control but VC does not show up when I run the VC search…😢
Your comment is what I came searching for , wanted to make sure it wasn’t just me. Did you figure it out?
You can already use Siri to “stop” or “snooze” alarms. Just wanted to make sure people know that in case you don’t want to have to make the shortcut.
thank you
is the best way to turn off the TV (itself) using is
Automations > Sleep [room name] ?
Great video! Would love to see more options to use this handy thing!

The NFC tags video will be super! Thanks for the video
NFC ideas are brilliant! More
The alarm automation doesn’t allow any voice control settings in iOS 17 :)
Mine either! :(
Loved this video, just ordered some nfc stickers so more videos going forward would be great!
Brilliant video! I love all of the tips and plan to create them for my own use. Thanks!
BTW, I’d love more videos like this!
Very interesting, I’d like to know more about nfc tags, thanks.
Brilliant video - as always! I’m loving the NFC tags and just getting into them. Could you possibly make a video on how smart plugs could be used to turn ON/OFF lights etc by tapping an NFC tag? Thank you!
Great. More please. You explain them so well!
Good video. I never thought of programming the nfc tags. Good idea.
Yes on more automation ideas, wether they use NFC or not! Thank you very much for the ideas! I'm now using the VPN ones, for open wifi connections.
I just say “Siri Snooze” or “Siri Stop” when my alarm is going off. But I would also like to say - loving this series, there are things I didn’t know, and it’s presented very well.
another excellent video, I never stop learning about the potential of my iPhone thank you, yes I would like more videos about Tags

Any idea on how to automatically put a sticky note on your screen whenever a certain reminder comes up in reminders such as a particular doctors visit
Wow that shortcuts app is brilliant. I had no idea that excised. Thanks PHT 👌🏻🎉
HI thanks for your nice video. But I can’t find the action « connect to VPN » and « set VPN » . Should I have to load them somme where ? Thanks
me too
Great vid, please make another video about nfc tag possibilities

For sure would love more nfc ideas!
Great video! Finally, these useful shortcuts are now explained and of course further and more complete or complex shortcuts would be welcome to be taught or just to discover.
Great! Thanks a lot! 👍
18:26 great series. Very clear.
In your dogfood example, can you add the reminder to a specific subtask in a reminders list using shortcuts and not just to the "root" of the reminders list? I don’t see an option to specify the subtask as well ..?
Really like the NFC tags for pdfs. Used to use QR codes in an old building to provide key historical information on an indoor orienteering route. But I do like the idea of setting up a pdf on the cat’s dish for all her routines and instructions in case of emergencies. The reminder add is cool but for me quicker for me to ask Siri on watch or iphone.. However, that would exclude the relevant webiste link, so I can see a benefit in such circumstances. Would really like more on NFC and enjoying reading the comments for others’ use of them. Thank you
How dos you use Zara yo do key histórical¿
Good video as always, thanks. I should point out that currently in the iOS 17 beta the option to “don’t ask” is no longer available. There now exists a drop down under the Automation label to either “Don’t run” or “Run after confirmation”. Which I find disappointing.
Another addition to the ever-expanding ‘Bizarre and Annoying Apple Decisions’ list.
Ya know that could be because it’s a beta test and not the production version?
Great video. Thanks!
Great video - have already purchased NFC tags and made my first NFC automation 🙂
One question; can shortcuts and automations be shared (e.g. with my wife), or do I have to replicate them manually on her iPhone?
Same question for me
Great video bud.
Thank you for this video. If that notes app is the native Apple notes, how did you get blue text. Mine is black (13:23). I’m looking in the description but not seeing a link to use NFC tags. Can you pop that in for us since they appear to be working and have 3M stickies.
Cheers
I’m pretty sure I know the answer, but is there any way to use Apple Watch to scan an NFC tag and trigger an automation? This would be great
Thanx for such an informative video
Thanks for your sharing
Can I suggest a video idea? Purpose: Tracking how much time spent at a particular location. So a video to show step-by-step how to get your phone create a calendar entry when the user enters a location with title "you entered location-A at this time"; and when leaves the location a calendar entry titled "you left the location-A at this time". I tried myself using the Shortcuts app but was stuck in the process and gave up. I'm sure you can make it happen! Thanks and keep up the good work. Cheers
Agreed. Even following not her channel on how to set up a daily weather read out; the shortcut app is so convoluted that I just gave up on getting it to work like the guy in the video.
So, I don’t even try to do my own anymore.
This can be done using either the built-in location automation in shortcuts ("Arrive" and "Leave"), which must be triggered manually or you could use a Focus, which you set to be turned on at a certain location, which can be run completely automated, but can be unreliable when exiting the focus mode, while still at that location.
Step-by-step for the location automation:
1. Create personal automation
2. Select "Arrive"
3. Click on "Location" and select your desired location
4. Click "Next" on the upper right
5. Tap the search and type "location"
6. Select and add "Get Current Location"
7. Tap the search and type "new event"
8. Select and add "Add New Event" from calendar
9. Click on "Title" and type "You entered location - " and select the variable "Current Location"
10. Click on "Tomorrow at midday" and select variable "Current Date"
11. Click on "Tomorrow at 1pm" and select variable "Current Date"
12. Click on the arrow of the calendar event
13. Toggle off "Show Compose Sheet"
13.a. Additionally you can add the "Current Location" to the "Location" field
14. Click "Next" on the upper right
15. Click "Done"
Now to create a new calendar event when leaving your location:
1. Create new personal automation
2. Select "Leave"
3. Click on "Location" and select location set at arrive automation
4. Click "Next" on the upper right
5. Tap search and type "location"
6. Select and add "Get Current Location"
7. Tap the search and type "new event"
8. Select and add "Add New Event" from calendar
9. Click on "Title" and type "You exited location - " and select the variable "Current Location"
10. Click on "Tomorrow at midday" and select variable "Current Date"
11. Click on "Tomorrow at 1pm" and select variable "Current Date"
12. Click on the arrow of the calendar event
13. Toggle off "Show Compose Sheet"
13.a. Additionally you can add the "Current Location" to the "Location" field
14. Click "Next" on the upper right
15. Click "Done"
To make the Focus automation work, you first need a Focus, which you automatically turn on at your desired location. Afterwards you can enter the Shortcuts app:
1. Create a new personal automation
2. Select the Focus you want to be automated
3. Click "Next" on the upper right
4. Proceed with the same steps as the location automation starting from step 5
14.a. Uncheck "Ask before running"
Now when exiting the location:
1. Create new personal automation
2. Select the Focus you want to automate
3. Deselect "When Turning On", Select "When Turning Off"
4. Click "Next" on the upper right
5. Proceed with the same steps from the exiting location automation starting from step 5
14.a. Uncheck "Ask before running"
You could also just edit your calendar entry end set the "End Date" to the "Current Date" when exiting the location, but this is a bit harder to explain
@@Rood67How should your weather read out work?
Brilliant! Give us more!
Yes please more automations with NFC tags
Enjoyed your video. Would like to see more automations.😊
The question is.. what is the device called (brand) at 4:40? :)
This is the item (and so far, it's very good) geni.us/LYWtB
In the VPN app I need to choose the country to connect to; how is this possible?
Great video, thank you.
@@ProperHonestTech Thanks m8
I would love to see a video on more uses for NFC tags.
Proper cool automations, there is sadly no VPN option in de iOS shortcuts app for iPadOS...
That's strange, I have the option on my iPad, running through the same steps as shown in the video. I'm running 16.5.1
VPN automation is GOAT! Thanks!
Awesome video ❤

Thank you so much for your wonderful, helpful videos. SUGGESTION: I've been unsuccessful creating Shortcut/Automation to take a photo when I say 'shoot'. Could you please cover this? It would be very helpful for my old hands.
Follow the steps in this video to create the voice control shortcut (for when you set an alarm). But instead, have voice control toggle on when you open your camera app, and toggle off when you close it. Then you would say "turn up the volume" with the camera app open to take a photo. (as it will use the volume up button, which is also a shutter button)
It would be interesting for office applications of this technoloy.
re The NFC trick you can also use a credit/debit card to run an automation too. I use an old Halifax debit card to run a "Sleep" routine art bedtime.
Seems like too many steps to set up a nfc tag, but still pretty neat. Could you do this with a QR code, instead of a nfc tag?
Brilliant Video, please can you do a load more on creating shortcuts & NFC tags please? 🙂👍
Please do more iphone shortcuts stuff
Very informative. Keep the suggestions coming 👍
I liked this video a lot , it help me so much , we need more video’s for the automation on shortcut , another thing i need to creat an automation on shortcut to open bluetooth when i get on car and disable it when get out of car to save battery,can you help on that ..?
Doe’s it depends on location or timing.?

Great video not sure if you have Google Hello doorbell. I miss the notification when someone rings the bell. I’ve been trying to setup an shortcut to send me a text or a louder notification but had no luck any advice?
This was informative. Interested in a dedicated NFC video.
Can you use NFC tags with Apple Watch? Are there any security risks with NFC tags? Which one should we buy?
Examples are helpful thanks again
Can I have different VPN automations for different apps? Let’s say I want to connect to USA when opening UA-cam because that lets me use “Picture in Picture” mode. But usually I connect to a different country so is there any way to create an automation that specifically connect to USA regardless of my latest manual choice in the VPN app?
I can’t find voice control after hitting next upon seeing the ‘when alarm goes off’
Thanks for the great tips! I couldn’t find the “Ask Before Running” section though. Any advice?
Another brilliantly helpful video. NFCs in my holiday rentals will be really cool. Suppose they could link to UA-cam ‘how to’ videos? So yes, more of these automations especially NFC related, please.
I would use QR codes instead. I think most people are a bit more familiar with them.
@properhonesttech Excellent video, as always! Can't wait to grab some NFC tags and enable these automations. Yes, yes, yes, please make a follow-up video! XXOO
