Brandon Butch UA-cam download shortcut 😂👌
I made some with NFC tags and I did some with sending automated texts at certain times. Or if I enter a room dim the light turn on tv and open certain apps
@@mrrbb2028 Nice! I had some for automated texts also but found it more useful to just send myself lol. I need to get my TV setup in the Home app so I can have it turn on when I get home. Thanks for reminding me lol
Brandon Butch mine go out in the middle of the night 😴 overseas lol.
BTW nice mustang. I love mine, modding never stops 😂😂
Brandon Butch Awesome video! It was very helpful 👍🏼
He doesn’t start till 2:22
thanks 🙏
Much appreciated
BLAHBLAHBLAHBLAHBLAAAAAHHHH
Thank you
also watch at 1.5x lmao
I never understood the Shortcuts thing until this video. Thanks a bunch man! This will be super useful for my morning get up routine!
I discovered this a few years ago. But never understood and was too complicated. Until a came across your video. I thank you for your service! 🤘🏽
Had my iPhone for about half a year now and I cannot believe I’m just finding out about this. Scripting is a godsend and I work with these event-based scripts in other applications, so this is great!
Thank you Brandon, great automations and well explained.
Thank You !
Thank you! First video I’ve seen that has helped me
Thank you so much ❤️
Thanks man
Awesome video. Thanks
Thank you Brandon. So helpful!!
Why am i discovering the power of this app. Completely mind blown rn 🤯
Awesome! Thank you.
Nice Video. I use them all the time. I like them with using NFC tags as well. Works really 👍
Thanks! Yes, very useful for use with NFC tags 👌
Thanks for the great instructions! Learning something new everyday!
Thanks Brandon, your tutorial works great for me!
Wow. SUPER HELPFUL
Very excited for this, thanks for a great video!!
We need a REVAMP of this video now!!!
Thanks. Very helpful.
Very helpful!
I have one in the Bluetooth section for when I connect my AirPods it will show a menu with three options to quickly choose like podcast, music UA-cam.
When I’m in my car I use the same Bluetooth trigger so when I turn on my Bluetooth it will ask me directions to work or home. If it’s work then it will be early morning and dark so it it will also dim the brightness and then pop back into podcasts for me while it’s loading Waze directions in background. Have a few more like nfc tag on my workout bikes that opens the app for working out and music.
01bigtrev how?
I made one just for fun that says ,”welcome home sexy. Time for breakfast.” When I get home in the am and my phone connects to my home WiFi. 😂😂
Hey, I have a question, i am trying ti make this shortcut when I am connecrin to home wifi but it doesn't work, i have to run it on my own to play, it isn't automated! Do you know why?
@@tozserinos have this problem as well did u find a solution?
@@tozserinos Turn off “Ask before running”
Excellent thanks 🙏
So useful i really appreciate this vid thank you
Thanks!
Thanks for you video!! My automation shortcuts for remind battery 50% to charge and fully charged with playing select music are both succeed!!
tnx
Thanks good,,,, now I use my automation
thanks v much for your info. Now I know how to turn on the radio app automatically but would appreciate very much if you could tell me if there is any change to turn it off automatically as well?
Imaging you gonna lose $10 every time you just passing by your barbershop
Beast B I’ll be broke 😂
Beast B it doesnt work that way. It asks if u want to run the shortcut!
Shubham Gitte You can set it to run without asking.
Bruhhh
Hi there! Can you do more shortcut videos? Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you very much for your time and effort in doing this for us thanks I needed to see this to help me! 👍🏼
Homekit is incredible. I can't believe that almost everything nowadays can be controlled from a smartphone
we were able to shake hands when this came out TnT
I first thought this is lovely but i have to leave my wifi on over night to get the weather data which i would hate to do. But then i realised i can just make first a command to turn off airplane mode and it really works great! Thanks!
Why do you turn off your Wi-fi?
Bc i dont need the extra 8hrs of radiation next to my head for a lifetime! :)
A lot of bugs with Speak Text Function but overall a great phone feature.
Wow! I made one just like yours and can't wait to hear it next morning! The only problem I have is that it works with apple apps and just a few others. E.g. I can't make my Deezer music app open when my earphones are connected, can't do anything with google calendar, and the weather app doesn't change the speed of wind to meters per second properly, so I get 1667 m/s instead of 1.667, or better yet 1.5 m/s - and you can't do anything about it. Hope they continue developing this feature because it is a great tool to make your life easier.
add music in the morning so you wake up to music and the lights goin on by itself
I never thought I'd say this: Google makes this so much more intuitive!
The automation reminds me if IFTTT
Hey, Brandon! I’m really interested on the venmo automation. I tried setting it up but I always get the “invalid recipient” error. How do I fix that? Thank you so much! I LOVE this video so much! I love the one where siri wakes me up and tell me the date and weather! Very neat!
You should compile these things and share them on the video’s description
Can you do one for messages ?
Thanks for the video really informative. Created the morning alarm wake up and it works great. Question in Home automation People Arrive and People Leave is grayed out. Why is that and how can I correct it so they are available? Thanks
Please make a video for
Battery automation
Ho Brandon, thanks for the video. Can you save this automation so you can pull it up to edit? I keep having to start over
So Apple essentially added activator in ios 13?
WiFi when arrive and leave automation For the win
Hi Brandon your video on shortcuts is very useful thanks. I’ve a shortcut saved to my home screen that opens a particular photo when I click on the tile. The script is finding the photo then showing it using quick look (show photos in quick look). However it opens the photo NOT in full screen. You have to tap the actual image to show it in full screen. Is there a shortcut script to show the photo in FULL SCREEN mode either using show photos in quick look or show photos or something?
At the beginning I thought you said “hey guys my name is bread” lol
Hey Brandon, Do you have an Automation that will remind me to get my phone when I get out of my car? triggered when disconnected from Bluetooth or disconnect from wifi?
Thank you for all this useful shortcuts! I just got a question as I am trying to make my own automation.
So what I want is: when I arrive home, Wi-Fi turns on and Mobile Data turns off. Made this so far, really easy.
However, how can I set a condition to turn mobile data off only if wi-fi is connected?
Thank you!
When you connect to any wifi, mobile data turn off
Great video! Can you do that it says “message from...” when you receive a new message?
Now when I wake up the first thing Siri says to me is “Wake the fuck up, Samurai. We have a city to burn.”
This is awesome! Thank you for sharing it. Can you tell me on how I can make it tell me the day of the week also? I am not able to understand on how to allow that option
Mujtaba Merchant hi! I found a way on how it tells you the day! On the date format, scroll down to custom format. I find it annoying when it mention the year because it says 2020 inch. So what I did is once you clicked the custom format, something will pop up like this “EEE, dd MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z” I deleted the “yyyy all the way to Z. But you can leave it as it is all remove only the yyyy then hit done.
Hope it helps
@@user-bh1pb3ir3g I just saw your reply. Let me try this out and how did you know my name?
@@user-bh1pb3ir3g this is bloody brilliant! Thank you so much for it! I really don’t know how to appreciate but it has done the job. my next challenge is to have the automation tell me when to expect rain I can get the percentage precipitation chance if you ask Siri what is the weather like today it tells you the high low current temperature and when to expect rain example expect thunderstorms at around 4 PM just us city what is the weather today like and you will understand what I’m saying
Great video. It's got me thinking. I'm trying to create an automation for the Amazon Flex App. I can get the app to open without a problem. Is it possible to navigate to a particulat menu item within the app and then refresh the screen every specified number of seconds?
I have an automation on when my Bluetooth connects it opens my Spotify app, luckily it asks me first just in case I’m not in the mood for Spotify
How can you make that I dont have an option for spotify in my shortcuts
Nah Brandon, you want to play small town murder podcast 😂
I know I’m way late (just got an iPhone), but when I set it to tell me the weather, it loads for a good 3-4 seconds before it decides to tell me. How do I fix that delay?
can you use goole speakers with siri routines ?
Another great video. Thank you!
Can u have this pop up using Apple TV?
Hi Brandon, thank you very much for nice and clear explanation. I would to ask if you know how to drop volume down, because my iPhone speak on 200% speaker capacity, and I would like to get this speak on 10% to do not wake up every person in my city ;)
Thank you! Regards
Can we get input as time automatically when the iPhone is unlocked ?
Hey Brandon, thanks for your video and I learnt it. I also done my setting. But, I have a question - I did the setting to open my UA-cam after the alarm then after 45 mins I want to off it, how could i do this setting at Shortcut.
Is it possible to change auto-lock settings either by shortcut or automations? I can’t seem to find it.
Brandon,
I am having trouble with getting the “Speak Text” to work. I followed your video, and it will work with the automation open by tapping the arrow, but when I set a time to have the text speak, all I get is a visual notification and No Speak of the text. Please let me know.
This makes life more difficult
The morning weather automation has been awesome, but since iOS 14.5 dropped it doesn't trigger it to run.
Runs with a forced run within the script, though. Weird.
Hi, can you please show how to create a shortcut of "settings -> screen time -> content & privacy restrictions -> content restrictions -> apps -> set to 9+" thanks in advance
Is there a way to combine personal and home shortcuts? I'd like to have a light turn on when I stop an alarm.
How do you get notifications on the shortcuts? Messages for example.
Can I add an automation that automatically opens an app when I arrive at a specific location?
Yes
Hi how to create find in notes (specific word) quick action shortcuts.
Can i make shortcut for opening app and press some buttons in the app?
I'm on iOS 12 with an iPhone 7+ and have not updated to iOS 13 but would love to even just solely for the automated shortcuts! My only question is, given the fact that the shortcuts can be automated, does that end up killing the battery life? Also, if the shortcuts app is not running in the background, does it still execute automated shortcuts?
How do you get to the Automations section?
Made an automatic Rickroll with this
2 ads in a row before vid now. Bullocks. Nice vid :)
I like this feature. I have mine set to turn off wi fi and bluetooth when I leave the house, and turn them on when I return. Works well.
What constitutes a wake-up Alarm? When I see it to this it doesn't work but when I set to any alarm it works.
Awesome video!
Everything works just fine except for Siri.
I noticed your Siri talks like the latest but mine sounds like the old 2010 robotic sounding version and I use the Irish female voice normally and It sounds just fine In normal situations Im using Xmax running 13.3 app and phone.
I tried changing the voice within the app but they all sound like out of date robots I can’t stand waking up to that lol
Any Ideas?
Go to Settings>Accessibility>Voice Over>Speech>Voice, and make sure Siri Female is downloaded (or Samantha Enhanced)
Bro made this video at 3:40 in the morning XD
How do I make it so that it continues a certain podcast episode
Nice video.
One problem I am having is, I am not able to change the speak text voice.
Tried from accessibility->spoken content
But its not working
Hi Brandon,
I created a personal automation but it didnt display me the option of 'Ask before Running'. Am I creating a shortcut correctly?
I have the same problem. Can’t seem to find an answer
Is that available in ipad pro?
How to change wallpaper while plugged in?
Instructions very clear but Siri started summoning demons :( how do I fix this.
WHAT
Idk grab a bible?
Then wack them
Legobrick 2018 😂😂😂
Sacrifice
Stay in a corner with a bible and a cross and start SCREAMING prayers
Can you show an automation to change your background?
Now you can with ios 14.3
Is there anyway to use the Automations to delete the alarm which is just stopped?
It’s clear that you can’t automatically run a location automation. Apple is too over-the-top with privacy sometimes. Fine. But I want to add an event to my calendar when I arrive at or leave work. Even though I set it to current date, If I have to press Run, it enters the time when I press RUN, not the time I actually arrived/left. Aggravating!
Hey, can you tell me how to change the speak text voice?
Only works on 13 and 14?
how do i make an automation to open my garage using “MyQ”
Hi Brandon, hope you can help me out here. I've tried following your steps and have created some automationa of my own but the wake up automation does not work. I get a notification that says "automation running" but nothing comes out of the speakers. When I click play while setting it up, everything works fine. Is there a setting for it? I'm a new iPhone user so struggling a little. Thanks!
I tried using automations for when I arrive at work and ETA home when I leave work, I ride a motorbike a lot and having automations asking me to run or not is pretty useless. Apparently automations based on arriving or leaving a location will not work automatically
Yea I agree - I find every bit of this useless since you still have to interact with the shortcut to have it do anything. Automation I don't think so.
There’s a way to be truly automated, but you need to have Jailbreak and the tweak Truecuts
When I make a shortcut for “TEXT” then add “SPEAK TEXT” it doesn’t speak, but instead come up on my apple watch as a Notification? asking to to “RUN” when I run it then it comes out on my iPhone, Help. Great videos, Thanks
