Finally a legit actual siri shortcuts guide. Most of the guides out there are completely vague and don't even explain things very well. Can't wait for the other parts!
I am curious to try these 2 shortcuts, which I do manually everyday 1. Clear Safari History and web data , Close all Tabs 2. In Telegram, Clear Telegram Cache Can anyone, guide how to get this done using shortcuts
This is the first/only channel that I have actually clicked the bell to be notified of uploaded content. Rob's content is well produced and informative.
Doing this in September 2021. Some confusion as my screen is different, but with a bit of effort I found my way around. Will now watch the rest of the series.
Alright you’ve said everything I needed to hear in the first 90 seconds so I’m a new subscriber for sure! Love automation and have used it in my corporate career as a logistics director & many other roles. Now, I’m trying to develop one for my ‘18 BMW X5 so it can become more automated than what it already is. :)
This video is 6 months old at this point but you single handily have helped me get setup with my iPad Pro. Now I am going to be going through your shortcut tutorials to get this thing ticking like a clock. I already have setup a raspberry pi to use as a mobile development platform. Thanks a bunch for your detailed tutorials.
I’d love to see a thorough tutorial on Automation. I’m also looking forward to the scripting piece. I’m trying to create a shortcut to launch Google Maps and navigate to the home address of a contact via a Siri command. It’s working except when the contact has more than one address, at which point it passes all addresses to Google Maps and that search fails.
One option I've used for this is to drop a Choose from List action in between getting the contact addresses and passing them to Maps. This allows you to choose the right address before switching to Google Maps. You can even check the number of addresses first with a mix of Count/If actions and only show the list selector if needed.
This may not be what you want but you can ask Siri to navigate to let's say John via google maps. As long as the address is in your address book, just say "Navigate to John's house via Google Maps"
New subscriber but huge fan! Rob, you are a true technical fellow in my book, meaning you can do and explain clearly. There are too many folks out there just interested in hearing themselves speak rather than helping the rest of us. Keep on. Thanks.
Hello guys, This is Levente from Hungary, I was wondering if it is possible to create a shortcut or Siri command to open the gate trough HiK-Connect app, app needs to be opened and tap twice to open the gate, any help would be appreciated, Thank you
All 6 of the guides are excellent. Not sure why this isn’t off the carts with likes. Maybe shortcuts aren’t mainstream yet. I’ve gone back to these guides over and over again as I learn shortcuts. Each time I understand more of what you are saying. These guides have helped SO much!!!!!! Thank you. Without the guides, learning shortcuts would have been way more painful.
I have a smart light that i can turn it on with NFC tag. Would like to find out if I can turn off the light with same NFC tag. Can you do a video on NFC tag
Hello Friend, i need your help i want to open and turn on the Personal hotspot using shorcuts, however i have only to get into the option but i dont know how to turn it on so far im using Web>prefs:root=INTERNET_TETHERING thats all, it open it, but I still to activate manually the button... how can i turn it on automatically
my first Shortcut involved my charging. It plays AC/DC at 75% of charge. The other I wrote has my iPad going into (low-power) mode if the power drops below 35%😁
Already in the first part of Your Tutorial-Series I learned something: That there is something called "Shortcut Properties", until now, to add it to the homescreen I‘ve always used the "Share-Sheet". Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
That's the standard setup now if you have an external mouse or the Apple Magic Keyboard attached to your iPad. Over time, the cursor shape has changed but the same basic idea is still there.
International travelers: can you create shortcuts, (USD to EUR) like the different currency, as well as ( LB to KG), things like that, some Universal Metrics
Using the Shortcuts app to close all open windows tabs in Safari (for my grandmother)? Hello. Really a GREAT video. Well done ! Professionaly, and thank you for sharing! Could this "Shortcuts app" for Ios help my senior mother to be able to Close all the open Safari tabs on her Ipad Pro in one go? How to do that please? I would like it to become an icon in her dock to "close all safari tabs now".... I would have to instruct another friend from a distance how to do this as I do not have the Ipad here and she lives far away from my reach at the moment.
Can users create a Siri Shortcut that executes when the phone is locked? The use case is activating a shortcut to turn on the lights when my phone is locked sitting on a table without having to reach for it to unlock the phone.
Do you have a shortcut to call a conference number and have the iPhone automatic switch the speaker phone on without me doing it. I can’t figure this out. Thanks
Hello I’m new to the channel can you help me please to create an automation or shortcut all I want to do is that my HomePod tell me phrase take out the trash every Tuesday and Friday at 5:50 am can you guys help please
hey man... i have a question about the ipad pro.. how much space does the ipad OS take? also what would you say is the total size of all the apps you are using ? i ask this question so i know which storage option to choose if i ever end up buying one..
Settings reports that the OS on my iPad is using 6GB. The OS also uses some space for temp files, that’s reclaimable, but you do want to leave some space for it. My temp file set is currently around 50GB. My app data is currently around 200GB including all the photos and stuff I have on my iPad. As a general thought on this, I’d say anything less than 256GB is something you’ll regret.
Just found this video. I’m looking to learn more about how to do more advanced shortcuts. Starting from the beginning although I know the basics already. Hopefully I’ll learn something. Particularly interested in the scripting part. I’m hoping this isn’t too out of date being a couple of years old.
There is a thing i want my phone to do So i have 3 fingerprints on y device For exaple i want my phone to *Ask* who is this if a fingerprint No.2 is used to unlock the phone and if the answer isnt “the master” (for example ) i want it to do an action like delete a few apps

Thanks! I’ve been looking for a good beginning Shortcuts tutorial. Your videos are great.

Thanks, the best teachers are the ones that simplify things rather than just showing off their skill.
Would love to see an additional video in this series dedicated to IFTTT. Great idea for a series - looking forward to it!

Home automation could be a very big topic of interest. Include an end to end example from acquiring de devices to the end experience. Thanks
Stay tuned! I have a few videos on the agenda around home automation.
the "view json" shortcut caught my attention.
would you mind sharing?
Aha. That’s a Safari extension added by the fantastic Jayson app: jayson.app

hi rob, i think these shortcuts is quite painful to get round,
ricky.

One of my questions is how do you have something similar to a mouse cursor on the iPad screen?
That's the standard setup now if you have an external mouse or the Apple Magic Keyboard attached to your iPad. Over time, the cursor shape has changed but the same basic idea is still there.

I really like coding and a lot more aslo I make my own scripts now
Hi bro, current version of shortcuts, ask question is not avail but it displays ask for text with prompt.. couldn’t edit it bro how can I do that ???
Can users create a Siri Shortcut that executes when the phone is locked? The use case is activating a shortcut to turn on the lights when my phone is locked sitting on a table without having to reach for it to unlock the phone.
You can trigger your shortcuts using Siri voice commands this way, but I don't know of any other way to fire them off while the phone is locked.
Where do you find the Scripting app ? Been scouring the internet for it and can’t find the one that every creator seems to be using
its built-in
Do you have a shortcut to call a conference number and have the iPhone automatic switch the speaker phone on without me doing it. I can’t figure this out. Thanks
How can I get your all shortcuts link for adding mine? Can you share the all shortcuts link so we can link it our shortcuts app?

Reet Pandher I always wish I had more storage 😂
Really very useful video. Every iOS users should know.
You forget to tell what this is generally for. What is the convenience of usig that. After watching this I have no clue at all.
This is soooo not for beginners! Perhaps I’ll revisit once I have learnt what a shortcut is.
Awesome beginner level tutorial for Shortcuts! Thanks and look forward to the rest of the series.
You should teach how to do power point on mobile and pc
Thought that was an iMac 🖥 for a second
It does look a bit like the iMac now you've mentioned it.
I want to use a voice command to trigger a shortcut - is that possible?
You have convinced me to delete shortcuts. I don’t see why it is useful
Great video, unfortunately I'm on ios 16 and this doesn't help.
I am going to refresh this for iOS 16 very soon.
Brilliant video! Looking forward to the next one :-)
Audio was kinda terrible, really bad, like on a bad phone call
Hey Rob how do you find the Lamicall stand? Is it proper for a 12.9 iPad?
I find the stand to be really sturdy and secure. I’ve used it on my Gen2 12.9 and it holds it nice and steady.
Thanks this video was very helpful
How do you get the shortcuts app for the desktop?
Nevermind, I see now that it is an ipad

There're a lot more actions available these days, but all the basics remain pretty much the same.
afraid its not really for beginners but i did learn thanks
Please make us a video explaining how to use the (Automation) tab in Shortcuts
Thank you 😌
You have convinced me to delete the app. I see no benefit to it
Sir how to automatically close VPN in ipad from short cut plz answer sir love from India

Is this a special stand for the iPad? Is it stable?
At last a Siri shortcuts guide.... Thanks
you very much... 😊
I couldn’t help but notice you keep saying “iris shortcuts”. Don’t you. Mean “Siri shortcuts”?
To prevent him from activating Siri on your device while you watch his video I would guess... Cheers!
How does work Automation from a Mac computer?
I'm absolute novice with the Automation tool I'm afraid.
But on my iPadOS it is already installed
Can you talk about automation in another video

Is that possible?
