Thank you so much for following me! My last video was my first ever & I'm blown away at its success, thanks for bearing with me as I ramp up my production skills.
Yes, I used manual focus this time-plus my mic was on a boom-and the music is way lower/has no vocals :)

I’ve watched dozens of videos telling me how great the shortcuts app is but not a single video has been able to explain how to create a simple shortcut that actually is a true shortcut.
gonna have to strongly agree!
I have to concur.
So true. I feel like I’m living in a parody episode of HBO’s Sillicon Valley and the wonkiness of the internet and new tech.
Same here man! So confusing!
Even “tutorial” as just re-use of existing shortcuts without any explanation 😢.
I give up!
Here is my Shortcut, its pretty easy (Turn on/off Menu)

Thank you for explaining the difference between Siri SC and the App. Well done. I think the biggest challenge for non programmers is to think logically when you are trying to create a workflow. Not knowing what functions are at your disposal also handicaps me. I have followed along on a couple of videos, building someone else's shortcut to see their thought process and functions available. When you mentioned in the video about how some functions connect and some don't is still a bit daunting. I would like to build a shortcut that would open photos, go into a specific album, select the next pic sorted by Date Taken and email that to a group. The group email was easy as Siri shortcuts created it. Open album is easy. Just can't get it to select the next pic, insert it in the email and send it. Thanks for all you're doing!
I’ve gone to enough college that I know a good teacher when I see one! Why don’t you slow down, dummy the material down and make another wonderful video for the THOUSANDS of eager beavers who are left behind?
As it is, I’ll have to watch this one ten times and maybe I’ll get the gist! Thanks!
Yeah... He goes over how to use an app and spends most of the time just talking but with the camera on his face.
@@thejosie This was my second video ever, FYI
@@MatthewCassinelli Then this criticism should help you on the following ones. Cheers.
I’ve read the comments and got a good laugh out of them. True as it is, what you’ve discussed is way more advanced than “learning shortcuts”. I’d like to follow you because you have a great understanding but communicate it as if everyone’s on your level. My suggestion is to label this one “more advanced” and create a shortcuts for dummies. You’ll get more takers with it!
Dude, this isn’t basics. For anyone who doesn’t know programming, this is gibberish
Not just people who don’t program. I did a basic course in programming (I can understand basic Java and build small programs) and this app is useless. It is too limited in features and things don’t work like they should in a programming language. Like the variables don’t even work properly and there are no logic gates.
Hi Matthew so I’m one minute and 20 seconds into your video and I still don’t know what a shortcut is. I would clarify that probably within your first 20 seconds of video time. This video seems to be very educational already from what I’m interpreting but I still don’t know what a shortcut is. I’m inclined to want to watch another video for an explanation and then come back to this one but this one looks so freaking amazing I’m going to sit here. ;-)
I really want to learn how to use this app! But I would love you to show step by step who to create a shortcuts, specially those where Siri reacts to commands like send a message to someone or do something specific
Good request, I’ll keep that in mind. Thanks for the idea!
A lot of good information, but way too fast for this novice!
Ok somehow I’m even more confused. I’m done
Man... i Know a lot about programming... but you confuse me... you speak way too fast and you explain nothingh...
Thanks! This is so helpful. I’m trying to make text appear on a shopping list I’ve made in the Notes app and I can’t seem to get it to work. I’d like it to open it and add my item by voice if possible, or a separate text input, if not. Is this possible?
Really great Video. Can't wait for more
I would like to create a shortcut that opens two specific apps in split view (My calendar and to do list apps). So that with one button I can have everything ready to plan my week. Super simple, but I do not see any option to open an app in split view...just opens both apps but each full screen. Is this possible?
Nicely done. I'm understanding more with each video. To answer your question, here's the part that I still can't wrap my head around: what do I use it for? And I realize that's impossible for you to answer without knowing everything about how I work in a given day, so I'm not looking for an answer to that. What I am wondering is if you have any examples of when the usefulness of the app finally clicked for someone who wasn't getting how to use it in their life. Are there particular brainstorming actions I should be taking to figure out how Shortcuts could make my work/life easier? I'm just not even sure where to start with building my own shortcuts.
Can you post a link to all 900+ of your shortcuts
So good. thank you this made it a lot easier to explain to friends
Thanks Sigmund! Glad to hear it helped.
Sigmund Judge really? This video did nothing but confuse me.
Stephen Boyd Hey Stephen, anything in particular that was confusing? I can take that into consideration for the next video, I’ll be covering most of this again in context later on.
I see shortcuts app on my phone but don’t see the app on my iPad Pro. Where is it ? Update, I have the shortcuts app now and will be making my shortcuts. Thank you for this video.
Hahahaha! I wasn’t rubbing my eyes during this video. Thanks for turning off auto-focus.
You answered a couple of my questions (not in the way I wanted, but maybe someday soon....). An issue I’m having now is that when I use Siri to launch a shortcut, she just reads the shortcut to me with, “Shortcut says:” and then reads it in a different voice than the one I wrote the shortcut with. If I run it manually it reverts to the voice I want.
Hah glad to hear it was better for you.
It sounds like it may be a weird bug with running in Siri where the data fails, what actions are you using?
Matthew Cassinelli I actually broke apart my repetition counter for working out thinking I could get rid of the filler that allowed me to get ready after tapping the number of reps I wanted since I could now launch verbally once I was in position.
The only things in the new shortcuts is a block of text, set the volume, and speak text. No decision trees, and I’m wondering if that’s the issue. Too simple.
Excellent video! Your approach to explaining concepts is really good. Please consider explaining Actions, Content Types, and more. Then tell us why and how they’re best used. Thanks for creating high-quality work!
Thanks Mike! Good to know. I’ll be covering those mostly, the Siri Suggestions will probably be their own video or used within another shortcut occasionally, but the Content Type actions are my bread & butter!
Really interesting videos, glad this showed up on my homepage. Interested to learn more about some of the advanced features of shortcuts and amazed that you have 900!!
Thanks Connor! Working on sharing more :)
I have yet to find a site the tells you in simple terms what Shortcuts does. This is another one that assumes prior knowledge about this and assumes everyone inherently understands the Shortcuts concepts. So Matthew something like “shortcuts for people who have never heard of shortcuts” would be super helpful. Imagine you’re explaining it to your granny
I like the way you have color-coded/grouped your shortcuts. What are some example categories you have grouped?
Another good video. Production better on this one too. Thanks.
Thanks Richard! Yeah it's a night and day difference, I'm learning slowly! Really wish I could edit the last video now that it's uploaded, leveling it made it much more watchable (save for the autofocus problems).
Matthew Cassinelli the first video has great content and that’s what counts. The better production is the icing on the cake.
Thanks, that’s what I figured. That’s why I qualified it with “bear with me” because I have to make the mistakes to really internalize them, just growing pains! Cheers
I’d like to be able to append a specific note in notes. For example, if I have a Notes note called ‘Movie list’, if like to be able to type a new movie’s name (or dictate, which I heard you say didn’t exist yet) a new movie and have it appended to the next row in that note
Did you mean to title this video Siri Shortcuts for professional programmers? Being riddled with adhd, I had to restart the first minute of this video 4 times until I realized I just wasn’t fit to understand how shortcuts work. A Siri Shortcuts for infants should be your next video. Thanks in advance 🙏🏼
This is the old version, it’s more clear in the newer one. Working on a new video!
I’m also just not fantastic at making educational videos yet, there’s so much material and I did try to pack it in
Is there an option to start playblack regardless of the app?
You can use the widget from anywhere, just pull down Notification Center and swipe over. I use that a ton, especially after copying something and using Get Clipboard in the shortcut.
I look forward to your next video 🙂
Thanks Matthew! I really appreciate it :)
Yay someone is back 💥 thanks a lot
Hah appreciate it man. Trying to figure out my whole production process to keep things smooth & hopefully make more that are easier to create and still useful.
Matthew Cassinelli sent you a DM through Twitter and instagram asking for help 🤷🏼♂️
Hey Matt, found you via Automators Podcast, saw this video stopped like 3 min 40 seconds through, then listened to more of the automators found you had a show with Alex Cox listened to that show. Heard you have people stop 3min into this video lol (I just hadn't gotten around to it) then I used a shortcut I learned from another video to download this youtube video and watched it on my ipad. Long story I know but thought you might find it funny. Thank you for putting this out there!
Hey Michael, that is awesome! Pretty much the perfect path back to here if you ask me, and great use of Shortcuts itself. It gets very meta talking about this app because I use Shortcuts to share about shortcuts all the time :)
LOL yeah I thought it was a great path.I love learning more about this app everyday so many cool uses!
Can anyone suggest a UA-cam with a FROM THE START explanation of how Short Cuts work? He is starting like I know what he is talking about!!!
Youre doing more than good !!! Thank you !!!
Great video. Are you able to schedule an action to start at a time or location? Every day at work I set my phone to be black and white in the accessibility menu (colour filter). I find it makes me look at my phone less frequently. Automating the action would be helpful.
Dan Higginson the easiest way to accomplish this is to use an app called launch center pro. You can schedule a shortcut to run based on time or Geo location. You will then get a notification from launch center Pro to run the shortcut. All it takes is one tap to have your shortcut run. There is no native way presently to schedule shortcuts within the shortcuts app.
Informational vids are best with no background music!!!
Bgm creates distraction and dilution for your more challenged (and older) students. Please let us focus on your (EXCELLENT!) content without the additional cognitive load of filtering out extraneous sound. Tbh, my cognitive skills aren’t what they used to be ☺️ and I need all the help I can get
I really like it but is so intimidating!?
Thanks for this excellent overview re: Siri shortcuts ... Really looking forward to all your videos ...
Hi Matthew. Many thanks for this video. Can I use shortcuts to send personalised text to a group of about 50 people?
most UA-camrs will actually post the name of their Twitter handle, Username, or whatever they want people to follow rather than spell it out. The video was super helpful too, this is just a random "welcome to youtube" type tip lol
Hah I know, that was a holdover from doing podcasting. I wasn’t planning on putting it on screen, then just went for it. My bad!
+1 for the future support of automated triggers. Imagine the possibilities it would unleash! I work a lot in Azure Logic Apps and aside from not having triggers, the Shortcuts app is quite similar.
I remember when Workflow first came out, and how excited I was to tinker around with various flows. It does have a bit of a learning curve but you’ve done a great job explaining it! I’m looking forward to learning some new tips and tricks as you post more videos. I keep running out of ideas for fun stuff to try. Ha.
Thanks needed help
What books, languages or resource can I read to learn more about how use this app for things I do on a daily basis? I am trying to make my school life and work flow easier because I waste a lot of time doing stupid little tasks like converting files, looking for files, downloads going to wrong folders when I batch download etc… would love to be more educated on this scripting thing
I don’t understand how can I make any shortcut I like, whereas I have only the given subjects in the app. Looking forward for the third video. Keep on. Thanks
Hey there, that’s a good point - I may have overspoken. There is a very huge range of things you can do with Shortcuts or do something similar to your goal that gets you a lot closer to the finish line. But it does need wider support for hooking into apps and app adoption to make “anything” truly possible. Sorry about that!
I found this video through a facebook group called Siri Shortcuts. You might want to find a group like that, people are sharing their shortcuts with walk throughs on how to create them. It seems like a good place to start to me.
Mathew how can I add find my phone shortcut even when sound low
Thx for making these videos! I’m getting only some of what your say because you are so fast at explaining. Please slow down especially when you are doing the visual explanation. I know, there is a lot to cover. If I could give you an example of a simple shortcut and you were to explain how to make it and tweak it I would probably start to get it better. For example. I want to tell my watch that I’m about to start a yoga class and I want that Siri suggestion to automatically track that activity and just log the information into the health app VS me search for and opening the workout app, search for the activity and then waiting for it to load. Super easy I’m sure but I haven’t been able to do it. Pls and thank you!
Great job Matt. I want to make a shortcut that will act like a macro with specific location touch on the screen. I want to set up an auto run for a game that will continually play the game all day and collect resources. Do you think that is possible?
I don’t know how to make a shortcut that will trigger auto-brightness on or off. I normally have the auto-brightness on, but sometimes when I need to see something clearly I increase the brightness manually and then I have to go all the way in the Settings-General-Accessibility-Display.... Is there a way to build a shortcut which will trigger the auto-brightness on or off, as desired? Answer appreciated.
Hi Matthew, I am trying to create a shortcut to complete an iCloud backup. Do you have any ideas?
How do you run multiple apps without going back to the shortcut app for it to run successfully?
Hi. How about making a video explaining how sharing the shortcuts works. If I made changes to my shortcut, does the old link share my new version or the old version? Does my shortcut get uploaded to iCloud every time I click the "get iCloud link"? How does it all work, do tell :-)
I’m really enjoying the videos and your podcast with Alex. Was wondering if there is a way to create a shortcut that will mark complete tasks I have set up in OmniFocus? Thanks again for all you are doing.
Thank you for your videos! One remark: You’re a little too quick so I always have to get back and forth.
I’m trying to create a shortcut for a sleep timer for HomePod.
Hey Jan, totally fair. I got some feedback from another friend on keeping the demo sections slower. I'll be taking more time and zooming in closer on specific shortcuts - for now I've been attempting to keep it quicker to not lose your interested since it's a bit dense, but I'm adjusting to it. Going to work on better section breaks and on-screen elements to help, which should help me add better pacing too. Thanks for the comment!
Right now I don't think you can do a sleep timer exactly - you can trigger standalone Siri Suggestions from HomePod and they'll automatically connect your phone using AirPlay, and then you could use an Alarm suggested shortcut that's set up with a Sleep Timer function, but right now Siri Suggestions within custom shortcuts don't do the same Airplay to HomePod thing so you can't yet chain the two together properly. The elements are all there though, hopefully that's coming soon!
Matthew Cassinelli Thank you for your answer and you will rock UA-cam 😜
Thanks! This video was really helpful. Love the way you explain everything!
Thank you! Happy to help, let me know if you’d want videos on anything else specific :)
This is great! Would love to hear your favorite shortcuts that are not already featured in shortcuts
Good call, I don’t think they’re from there (even though I built many of what’s in the Gallery).
I’m up to 1022 now 😳
A top 50 list of used / most useful would be amazing 😍 and I think do well in terms of views from people
Looking forward to your next videos!
Thank you Igor! I appreciate it
Downloaded the app. Tried my 1sr shortcut. But didn't work like I wanted. Maybe a step by step video.Would be great. Like ordering a coffee from Dunking Donuts or Starbucks.
The shortcut named Share Availability in the Gallery is awesome except it has an issue - if you have a long meeting like 9am-5pm and another meeting inside that window like 1-2pm, the shortcut will think you are available from 2pm thru rest of day - need help debugging this so I can make it useful. I would also like to make it ignore tentative meetings and also items set to “show as free” which I and others use to remind us of an event that we are not participating in. Thanks!!
Hey, thanks for the clips! Do have an idea how I could chose the source which please the music? I have a HomePod and would like to tell Siri „Do my morning routine“ and it please a playlist (on the HomePod without streaming from my iPhone), turns on the coffeemaker and than switches the lights on...
The lights and the coffeemaker are simple, but playing the music on the HomePod is a tough one. Is it even possible?
Thanks.
'get stuff done' shortcut- once your '1 hour undisturbed' time has elapsed can you have the shortcut turn off airplane mode?
I really like your agenda shortcut. How can I make it speak the results of the preview output. I’ve looked around and can’t quite figure it out.
Do you know how to access the night shift mode with the app because there is not an option. Is there a way to code it?
Thanks for the video and explanation! Your explanations here definitely helped me understand shortcuts better.
I do wish there was a way to leverage Shortcuts to automate additional commonly predictable behaviors, for example completing a podcast episode and adding a routinely listened to podcasts newly published episode to up next in podcast Podcasts; if I'm currently listening to a Podcast and I can create a shortcut to play that specific episode, which does me little good. I wish I could create a Shortcut that would start my currently playing podcast and add a newly published podcast as "play next" based on whether the podcast was published that day of the week. I thought I'd figured out how to do this while I was watching your video, however, I'm limited to the Siri suggestions of podcasts when creating the shortcut which is really limiting the potential of Shortcuts in this example but could apply to tons of apps, such as logging saved meals in MyFitnessPal that you may eat on a daily basis. Is there a way around this limitation with variables that I'm not finding?
Thanks again for the video, well done!
Hey Ryan, some of that functionality sounds like it could be accomplish with Stations in Podcasts, have you tried those? When you hit the edit button in the Library screen you can set up what’s essentially a playlist, and then those can be triggered from Siri Suggestions to play multiple episodes in a row.
Right now the main Shortcuts support for podcasts is a bit odd, it’s through the Find Music action. If you add a Filter and set Media Kind to Podcasts, you can use the other playback controls to start a podcast. You can also changed Date Added to “Is Today” and get just today’s podcasts - here’s a shortcut I built just for it.
Otherwise variables for third-party apps aren’t possible right now - it’s an odd limitation but I suspect Apple is just rolling it out slowly because the app is already so much, it might’ve been too much for developers all at once. But it seems like people are hungry for it!
Matthew, I'm hoping you can tell me if I'm crazy or not, or crazier :-) what I was hoping to create with shortcuts or some sort of automation is as follows. I have a recirculating water pump at home to make sure I have instant hot water when I wanted. It doesn't run all the time. Only when I turn it on and then after turning it on. A few minutes later I have instant hot water, therefore not wasting water down the drain. Now when I go out to a bar, it is smoky and when I return home I want to take a shower immediately. What I would like is when my phone sees that I have left a location i.e. a bar that I've designated, it would then turn the recirculating pump on. Yes it is connected to home kit. And I do have home kit enabled so I can use home kit from anywhere and control my home automation system.
Do you think this is something I can make? Is shortcuts the right application? Thank you for all your help. Even if it's no you can't do it.
I am trying to create a url to get input from a google shopping result. How do I check my url and if it’s not correct, correct it? I want to lookup one product and check prices from multiple stores.
Any idea of how to create a shortcut to launch an third party app after confirming the bluetooth connection with the car is lost and the location is confirmed? (trigger to start the parking app each time you park the car at the office)
Ok, impressed! Thanks for answering my question from your previous video. My first question is - Are there any limitations to shortcuts compared to the Workflow app or is everything the same? I remember people complaining that when Apple bought Siri, they crippled it to shadow of its former self. You're a great teacher, thank you for sharing!
One thing that really disappoints me is that they removed the ability to run independently on apple watch
Hey, I have a question. Is there anyway to use a sort cut in place of saying Hé Siri? I have an app to turn on my lights. In this app I can add a Siri Shortcuts BUT I can’t find it anywhere if i want to make a short cut. I hope I’m making sense. Thanks for reading my message.
Michel from the Netherlands.
Great video. Can you use shortcuts to set safari cookies on or off?
Where is the setting for it I’m trying to add something from safari but it won’t let me
I’m trying to creat a Siri short cut to add a reminder 24 from that exact time I’m setting it. Is this possible?
Great video, Matt. Thank you for what you are doing. I am trying to create a loop in my string that allows me to go back to a designated anchor point. I have tried using the repeat options, but it’s not working. Can you explain how to do that, please?
I cannot replicate the Music step. I don't think you showed this step in the video, it just appeared. I tried Get Playlist and Play Music, but Siri keeps telling me that there is a problem with the App. Am I supposed to add the Music step using Scripting? I can't see where the problem is.
How I download very high quality video from UA-cam bay shortcuts
( very high quality ) thanks
Is it possible to send command to google assistant via shortcut
Variables still confuse me. I don't know anything about coding but like the option to be able to ask for input and then throw up an input menu. Variables seem to play an important role, i just haven't figured that out yet. Great video!
Can i connect to wi-fi, if I know it’s title? I can’t find nothing like this.
i want to create a shortcut in which i enter a few credentials which can be used in a custom form, does anybody have any tips?
Great video!!! 👍🏽
I would like to create a shortcut using the health app data (Resting Heart Rate). The data is in the Health app bottom toggle “Health Data” > Heart > Resting Rate > “i” > Show All Data
That’s where all the data is for each day. I need to keep track of this information for my disabled son and have it available for his doctor. There may be an easier way to export this data than a shortcut but I thought it was worth asking. I’ve enjoyed your videos on this subject and the only recommendation is if you’re showing a screen shot, perhaps leave the camera on the shot long enough so we can pause to see the screen. I think you’ll find we are all viewing this at different levels with the common desire to better understand. So while my request may seem an entry level shortcut I feel learning the basics will only build my knowledge. Thank you in advance for your help!
Hi, can someone please show me how to set up shortcuts to start a video recording by saying Siri, start a recording. I can do this on my iPhone but cannot for the life of me do it on my iPad.running 14.4.1 Thanks!
you are doing a great great! show more set by set on making a shortcuts and how to add things when are making a new shorcuts app
Sounds good, thanks for the feedback Bryan!
Matt, any idea how to slow down Siri and add pauses between a question and options to choose ? I have a Shortcut for translation and Siri rattles off without pausing and it’s hard to hear. I tried adding a wait command for 1 or 2 secs but it doesn’t make any difference. I’m one of these people who slows down UA-cam videos to .75 or .5% to listen to them. 😅😢
I have a bedtime shortcut that opens my weather/clock app and lowers the screen brightness all of the way to it's normal limit. After it does that I triple click the home button to zoom the brightness even lower. I'd love to see the zoom feature accessible by the shortcuts app. (Or know how to do it if it's already available)! I'd also like to see it work like creating a macro in Excel, where you "record" your actions and it is stored like an executable. Thanks for the video!
oh and I would love for a Shortcut to "connect to bluetooth in my car" but I know the only option for bluetooth is toggle on/off. I'm pretty confident it's not possible, I just wish I knew the "why" behind it. Maybe possible with an iBeacon tho?
I’m not sure about the iBeacon, but right now that connection isn’t possible. I really hope they add that, seems like a great use case.
In terms of functionality that I wish was there, I’d like to be able to say connect to specific WiFi network. The reason for this is a lot of cameras need the iPhone to connect to their network to transfer photos/video to the iPhone. So I’d connect to the named network and then launch the camera app as one workflow. Probably too niche to be implemented any time soon!
Yeah I’d totally want that too, I’m using that to produce these videos! I’ll write it down and add it to my list
Can we make shortcuts not say running your shortcut, or shortcut says?
How can I make a short cut to open GroupMe, and then login using a keychain password?
Great contents! 👌🏼
Very helpful..
Can I create a Siri Shortcut that will turn on my Sonos app that is on my phone? My sonos speakers don’t support airplay 2, I just need to be able to have siri turn the app on/off. Thanks, really appreciate your videos.
Hey Ron, you could use Open App to open Sonos but you can’t start playback. There may be some API that you could hook into, I’d search on Reddit as many people go deep on Shortcuts there
I need help with the whole thing. How do I create a shortcut? Not a very easy app to know. Would be nice to see it dumbed down
Hey Steven! Did you see the section about creating new shortcuts? I'm trying to make the best tutorials I can, but there's so much it's hard to do well in a succinct way - working on it!
Techytech Thanks for the productive comment. If you see other people who are talking about the Content Graph on UA-cam let me know.
I’m not diving into stuff JSON API calls with Shortcuts and scripting stuff right away because people are new to it, I made this two days after the app came out.
Also yes I did work at the app, and I barely worked at Apple. I’m just being clear I know what I’m talking about and I’m not a rando just learning it right now.
Generally when people are watching these videos it comes up in UA-cam search so they’ve never seen my channel before, hence introducing myself for the only 4 videos I’ve ever made.
@ Techytech, once again, a fine example of how Darwin was right! Jealousy rears its ugly head! Get a life: loser! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hi
I´m helping my parents. I need to make Whatsapp contact shortcuts. I could use siri shortcuts but then I have to call every contact. Is there any way to make an short cut that asks för contakcts and put them om the home screen?
Hi Mathew I have a question. Hope it’s ok writing here. I’ve Siri shortcut where I have made a list to choose items from.
That gets copied to the clipboard. that gets sent in as a WhatsApp message to a contact. And when I run it I can choose the items but sometimes I get an error say the link could not opened please
Try another link. And sometimes the contacts chat opens with the clipboard being pasted there. It used to work perfectly last month and I have t made any changes and now it stopped working.
Could you sorry it out of me please thanks so Much. 🙏😌
I have a problem. I’m trying to share my 1,000 Siri Shortcuts library with my friend, but all I keep getting is 1,000 individual iCloud links. I don’t want him to have to individually click them. Is there anyway to combine all these links into one? Or can he open them in one click?
How do you differentiate between when to ask Siri and when to use Shortcuts? It seems like there's some overlap as some things you can create a shortcut for, Siri can do.
I’ll have to make a chart, good call. It’s a bit of both, for now trial & error is the main way I know :)
The problem with me is whenever I use text has url in it. And show it in notification, it keep downloading the html page
Try using a Nothing action before Show Notification and then placing the text in the body of the notification - Show Notification tries to look at what's being passed as input to use as an image, that's probably what's happening.
Great video thank you.
I have issue with the flow of short cuts i make. They get stuck and waiting for me to go back to shortcut app and only then continue.
In addition is there a way to start playing last book on audible? Again i am able to go to the app but then i need to manually start playing.
I want switch between 2.4 GHz & 5 GHz
In HUAWEI HiLink app
Or choose one of them
Anyone having issues with the "Find Calendar Events" action? If look at say, the next 7 days it will output an event that occurs once today, 7 times and an event for tomorrow 6 times (n-1).
My primary wish is for a web editor for shortcuts. Trying to specify API endpoints on an iPhone is the opposite of productivity.
That'd be great - I hope they do something like that one day.
K but what is da app for and how to use
This app is great and has so much potential. But for right now the only thing I wanna do is open up an audio app like a Podcasts or Music app and after opening it automatically play the audio. How can I do that?!
Search for the word "Music" from the action list. You need 2 actions. 1 is Find Music and another one is play music. This is Apple's Music app. If you want a 3rd party App. The app should support shortcuts first. But at least you can open the App using "open app" action
