15 iPhone Shortcuts YOU Requested: Auto-Texting, Alarms, Music, and More!

[@internet.story.teller.]

Been contemplating on whether I should switch back from Android to iPhone. By accidentally seeing your channel, now it's it a final YES for me. Damn. All thanks to you! Been wanting to know how I can further push an iPhone for efficiency and convenience. Watched three of your videos already! They're all freaking useful! Thank youuu! Subscribed! Please keep these videos coming 🤓

Another automation that I have created runs every time I connect to any WiFi network. It searches in an iCloud Drive folder containing two files: "trusted" and "untrusted" networks. If the network name is listed in the "trusted" JSON file, the shortcut ends. If the network name is found in the "untrusted" JSON file, the shortcut turns on the VPN. If the network name isn’t in either file, the shortcut prompts me to indicate whether the network I'm connecting to is trustworthy or not. It then adds the connection name to the corresponding file and executes the appropriate action, either turning on or off the VPN. The only downside is that Apple doesn't allow the disabling of execution notifications for WiFi automations, so every time I connect or disconnect from a WiFi network, it displays a notification.

[@saucyscrambler8710]

Do you have the link or step by step to set this up?

[@Hummingbird_hatchett]

Man this is awesome

[@TakWorks216]

Hey Stephen, This may help with your weather shortcut problem. I was able to get the High temp by doing a get 'Daily' forecast at 'Current Location', then Get 'High' from 'Weather Conditions'. When I do a Show 'High' in Quick Look I'm able to see today's High, but also each of the next 10 day Highs in the icon list. Hope that works for you also! Thanks for all the shortcut ideas as always.

[@beardfm]

Oh good call! Will experiment with that too, thanks!

[@TakWorks216]

@@beardfm You're welcome, after I submitted I realized it doesn't solve the problem of what time the high will be, but perhaps you could do the daily and the hourly to find out when the high matches a specific time of day

[@c4ldas]

Well, I know the comment if from some months ago, and I've just seen this video. In case someone wants, I was able to create the result of High temperature + hour that will happen. The result text is "High for today: 13º at 15h" - I used the action "Get Weather Forecast", set it to "Hourly" - Added the action called Number and set it to 0 - Added the action "Set Variable", called it HighTemperature and set it to the number added before. That will make the high start at 0 - Added the action "Repeat with Each" and put "Weather Conditions" - Added action Get Variable inside the repeat, for Get "Temperature" from "Repeat Item" - Added another Get Variable inside the repeat, for Get "Date" from "Repeat item" - Still inside the repeat, added an If condition, and put if "Temperature" "is greater than" "HighTemperature" "degrees" - Inside the if condition: ---- Set variable "HighTempTime" (this is a new variable) to "Date" ---- Set variable "HighTemperature" to "Temperature" - End if - End Repeat - Action Format Date and set it to format "HighTempTime", using Date Format as Custom and format string to "HH" (this will only show the hours in 24h time format) - At the end, I added the action Show Result and set it to "High for today: HighTemperature at Formatted Date h" When running the shortcut, it shows the following: High h for today: 13º at 15h I could confirm that is the highest for today and at that time here in my country

[@FadyRainier88]

Your videos are very informative and inspiring! Thank you for taking the time to share them with us. I wanted to ask if you can create a shortcut to send you notification before the sun sets on a daily basis. That way you can know what time the sunsets wherever you are. Also, more shortcuts automation for battery, if possible.

[@beardfm]

Will do in the next video!

[@GamingPIPI]

3:13 I have a great suggestion for the rotation lock automation. Because sometimes when you are laying in bed or something you don’t want it to go horizontal. So if you add: get orientation>if>orientation is horizontal left>turn on orientation lock>otherwise>if orientation is NOT horizontal right>turn off orientation lock. I didn’t do “if vertical>turn off orientation lock” because sometimes your phone is not 100% but also a little bit tilted forward and then it won’t work. So now it always work unless it’s completely horizontal (when you’re laying in bed). Especially handy when you’re in Safari.

[@AndrewLoukas]

Hey Stephen. Love your videos! I was wondering if it is possible to make a ''Morning Summary'' shortcut where it will tell you the weather and calendar events for the day, as well as run homekit scenes. Thanks!

[@beardfm]

I was also wondering if you could make a shortcut to track deliveries and tell you if any deliveries are arriving today

[@beardfm]

Deliveries are tough as many companies block third-party access, but I'll take a look!

[@maheAT]

There is a way to scan documents to a specific folder: Use the File action to select the folder of your choice Then use this as an input for the "Open File" action and afterwards use the "Scan document" action. (My phone is set to German, so the action names are translated by me to English)

[@beardfm]

Great call, will update in a future video!

[@najadnj1]

Awesome tip brother. Really works

[@ridvanonal1114]

What about a morning alarm where it wakes you up with siri speaking. Tells you the weather, rain if any, birthdays that day if any, speaks the reminders of the day and finally wishes you a nice day with siri speaking again?

[@whode1o]

I created one that immediately runs the automation when the alarm goes off > find all calendar events where start date is today > get current weather conditions [as mentioned in the video, am struggling to get high temp or rain for the day] > create text write what you want Siri to say. include variable of previous two where desired in text > speak previous text > show notification of previous text. Update: I changed the initial setting to when is stopped

[@Wellness1beauty]

I have this on my Google home without doing anything

[@GT-ho6co]

Thank you so much for trying to answer my shortcut request. I’m closer now and hope Matthew or one of the other shortcut experts have the answer. I really appreciate that you looked at this for me. Keep up the great work. I love these shortcut videos 👍🏼

[@BlakeFealy]

You will need to add a notification or a dictate text at the end for it to work perfectly

[@beardfm]

It was a great request! I'll keep you posted if they have a solution 👍🏻

[@beardfm]

Yes, just need to figure out how to filter the highest temp and hour marker.

[@GT-ho6co]

@@beardfm im half way there. I can get the highest temp but it gets all hours at that temperature. I can only speak the latest hour not the earliest.

[@mikeburghout227]

To get the highest temp I use "calculate statistics" and choose maximum. you can put this block right after the "get hourly forecast" I use a "round" block to make it a round number

[@farglemeister]

Thanks for the great tips! I’m looking to create a shortcut that will allow a timer to be announced through the HomePod system in my house. Not only would I like it to announce when the timer is finished, but also give me warnings as it approaches being complete. I was able to do this by making my own timer by using a 60 second wait and repeating it depending on an input, but it was horrendously inaccurate the longer it went. Thanks.

[@thingsmymacdoes]

maybe start a second shorter timer and repeat that instead of using the the wait block

[@rohittrahim7602]

Thanks Stephen 🙏 the apple frames and the orientation shortcuts were so helpful 👌👌

[@beardfm]

Great to hear!

[@jobvantuijl]

5:10 I recommend first getting the current volume, than saving it to a temp file. So that when you finish the muting you can turn it back up to the original vollume

[@beardfm]

Oh that's a great idea! Data Jar would be a good use case for that too.

[@jobvantuijl]

@@beardfm I think best implementation would be to have a few variables saved somewhere. Then put a automation on double tap the back of the phone. Check if Variable Active = False - Then Save current volume to file. Set volume to 0 Set variable active to true End - If Variable Active = true Get volume from file Set volume to ^ Set variable Active to false. End You could also save current date time instead of a true false to check if the muting is active. That way you could make it treat it as the “deactivated” if more then xx minutes passed. In case you would manually turn the volume back up. Double tap the back of you phone when the ad starts. Double tap again if it ends.

Thanks! It sucks that I can't get Set Playback Destination to work on my Homepod Mini. Everything else is great!

[@woffi7397]

Hello Stephen, I can’t find it on your channel, so I’m writing here: I believe you presented a shortcut a while ago that allowed saving Apple Notes in a folder as PDFs. I set it up and tested it back then, and today it “saved my life” when I was able to retrieve a very important note from the backup - thank you! :) One thing I noticed: if the title of a note contains a slash, like foo/bar, the backup folder creates a subfolder “foo” and stores the note as “bar.pdf” there. Understandable since a filename can’t contain “/”… not sure if it can be handled differently with reasonable effort?! Anyway, keep on doing what you do - I learned a lot here!

[@thabo256]

Thank you for your channel, this short cut is hard to explain. Background I were Behind the Ear hearing aids which are connected to the IPAd and use Bose headphone connected via blue tooth to my iPad. The problem is hearing aid feedback. The solution is turn down the volume on my hearing aid. The shortcut, I need is open settings, then open accessibility, then open hearing devices, then it displays the hearing devices connected under (MFI Hearing Device) click on the hearing device then it some functions, one is to reduce the volume, which I do from 75 to 45. This reduces the feedback so I can wear the headphones, cheers Vancouver Island Canada

Wonderful tutorial Stephen. I have an alert / notification when the battery reaches 80% charge. However sometimes when the charge is more than 80% and discharge reaches 80% on its way down the notification appears again! Is there a way to stop that? 🙂

[@kinkles]

Not sure if this is an iOS 18 thing but the parameters for a battery % automation let you specify “rises above X%” or “falls below X%”

[@eliass.4743]

For the Scan Document Shortcut you don’t need that extra app. You just have to add: File (choose the Path you want to save your Scan in) Open File (link this variable to the previous „File“) Scan Document. This will save it in that specific location. And with the choose from menu option you can even choose between multiple locations if you know how to use that shööfunction

But right now, what I do is that when I land at wherever my destination is, I manually change the complication from the watch face. I would love some sort of automation that looks at my current time zone, or location, and then somehow which is the complication based upon the zone that I’m in.
