8 Useful iPhone & iPad Shortcuts You Need to Know!

[@QuackingQuack]

One useful shortcut is to automatically turn on battery saver when charging you phone. It’s useful to charge it faster. Then another shortcut to turn off battery saver once the charger is disconnected

Amazing!

I thought turning it off charged it faster?

[@RomeroEli2105]

This is actually not good for your battery. The battery gets very hot and it’s trying to save battery while being charged at the same time and it damages the battery.

[@joshuaduca5527]

i already did this on my ipad which is actually amazing that you can customize or change the logo of your apps in home screen but i personally like the original looks more minimalist and clean looking

[@Marco3202002]

I would highly appreciate more of these videos like once a week. Super useful and I personally haven't given much thought to Shortcuts, but uh might have to start now. Thank you.

[@ojtsmith]

You can make a PDF anywhere you see the print option in iOS by reverse pinching (pinch out) the print preview.

[@noah.carrier]

also for webpages in safari and some other apps, just taking a screenshot of part of a document/page can be converted to a full pdf

[@alejmc]

Woah, didn’t know both of these.

[@dsm9472]

Yes I know this, but many times I failed to make a pdf in this way, through shortcuts it seems much more automated for a pdf

[@shabagiuly]

@@noah.carrier you don’t even need the screenshot, just touch share button and chose to export as PDF in the options. That’s it :)

[@noah.carrier]

KZbin pip best one man:D

[@lifeisshrt7929]

does it still work or did youtube ruin it

[@SimpleClearHelpful]

I find most of these gadgety. I want shortcuts that are truely helpful.

[@gungun8465]

The KZbin pip is amazing. Ty so much

[@iamtirrrred]

The KZbin pip shortcut does not work anymore. Can someone update the shortcut.

[@benmast8119]

The PIP doesn’t work… is there anything I have to do with the scriptable app?

[@Justin_berends]

Is it me, or are the links not working anymore? Great video btw. Thanks!

[@Tamara-rv4jr]

I’m confused on how to do the script and short cut KZbin pip??

[@joeysalins1502]

Yeah it doesn’t work for me too

[@jafloresster]

Shortcut info sounds great BUT way Too difficult to follow. Too fast. Too complicated.

[@dactel]

Recently made a bunch of shortcuts to open my youtube music playlists, and also search what I tell it to search on youtube music, which there isn’t already compatibility for, which is super convenient

[@alejmc]

This a great set of functionality that I honestly just let go years ago and bit what could be “walled garden” bullet or “not as easy for devs to port to more sandboxed OS’s” or whichever it may be. Glad to see these around. And Scriptable itself used by KZbin PiP has been a great find, thanks for these tips.

[@ZachAsaD]

KZbin PIP is already in the app but you have to be a premium member to use it. I’ve been using it for months and it is so handy

[@Para_SP]

you can have the audio continue to play but you won’t have a pip

[@hiyouseemcool]

PIP definitely works on my 12 pro

[@bladethorn]

dictate to notes is awesome! Thanks! I never use the voice recorder app, so I'd forget about my notes constantly

[@sirhunter7623]

I’ve actually modified the pdf shortcut so it will directly ask me where to save the created pdf instead of having to tap on share again

[@Alvee011]

KZbin PiP is not working. It’s getting an error. How to fix this ?

[@RachelleKS]

I’m totally confused! Where can I find these shortcuts?? And thank you for taking the time to do this video

[@hurainuim4987]

They're in the description, you just have to click the install shortcut button once u open the link and itll take you to the shortcuts app to confirm if you'd like to install the shortcut

[@chicagofan4eva23]

Thanks for the great info - i hope you can help with a question that nobody has been able to help - i have arthritis in my fingers, and it is very difficult to squeeze the 2 side buttons simultaneously to turn off the phone and then turn it back on in order to reboot the phone every few days - and i was wondering if there are any tricks or special features where i can reboot the phone without squeezing those 2 buttons or use Siri to reboot the phone?

[@johnavinvanover8451]

Assistive touch

[@johnavinvanover8451]

It’s in your settings. When you turn it on long press the power off button on the display and it’ll allow you to accomplish what you’re looking to do

[@baszt]

iOS 15 doesn't allow me to install shortcuts and I don't have any option to "Allow Untrusted Shortcuts". Nice one Apple, you strike it again!

[@jordanmjk0]

The option is in settings, if you search shortcuts in settings and… oh wait you can’t even install it. I’m so sorry. Don’t know the answer to that

[@JacobMaskerines]

Shortcuts is standard on iPhone literally already downloaded

[@Financesand]

My favorite is one I made my allowing a screen shot to be taken and it send it in a text to me just by my father saying “Siri, send to Kathie” and that way I can see anything he sees/received that seems sketchy!! 😮

Hi, can you please help me with a shortcut with which I can download video and audio from youtube? I would be grateful. I found a shortcut on google but it tells me when I download it to enter a valid URL even though I click on send it to a video on youtube and then I select that shortcut and select in what format I want but it still doesn't work.

[@alexok2318]

Can you trust these shortcuts? Are there any privacy issues? Could shortcuts expose your phone to hackers? What happens when iOS is updated? Is there any risk your notes, for example, can be deleted or the shortcut triggers an action that’s no longer supported? Is there external code within the shortcut itself?

[@mariekekito3998]

Shortcuts is an apple thing itself. So it’s safe to use, at least if you set everything yourself. Using 3rd party apps could maybe have some security issues. Updates shouldn’t affect the shortcuts unless apple changes the whole thing, but there’re not going to do that.

[@MobileTechPoint]

Are these links working for everyone. Doesn't open for me 🥺

[@javtimestwo]

links do not work for me. oh well

[@LukeForPuns]

Great except most of the shortcuts access your contacts and ip address. Security issue.

[@dakotababyak1842]

That’s because you’re using sharing feature. When you do that, iOS and iPadOS suggest people who you might want to share that specific thing with. It’s not a security issue. Especially when you’re the one who’s using the device.

[@MPYT123]

PIP is now implemented

[@boboliphant73]

I’m an iPhone newbie and can’t get the pip to work. I downloaded scriptable and added your shortcut, but then it shows error occurred.

It’s exactly three steps for AirPlay from Control Center. The corresponding shortcut is... three steps. Also, why are you hiding in the dark?

Does shortcuts consume much battery and makes the device slow?

[@GeetMadan]

Not really. It is an apple app and is baked into the system. Until you run the shortcut or program an automation to, it doesn't do anything significant on your ram.

[@H2dizzo]

It would have been better if it was describing how to create the shortcut on your device rather than describing

With ios 16 you will be able to enable Hotspot with shortcuts but the Bluetooth automation is not fully automatic. It will show you a notification and you will have to tap on it. I wish they made the automations actually automatic for everything
