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.

Just what was needed. I understand how important SC could be, it’s just the all tutorials I’ve seen up to now are too complex. A great start, thank you. One tiny point: I’d have preferred you to create a SC that might actually be useful. It would be more of an incentive to stick with the series. I really appreciated asides you made along the way, eg share sheets - always wondered how you got an app in there!

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.

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.
@tech_craft4 жыл бұрын
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.
@andrewmasp4 жыл бұрын
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"

I don’t think there’s support in shortcuts for controlling the power of the device. However, you can restart your device using Settings and also using AssistiveTouch. Not quite as nice but might be better than the awkward button hold: www.groovypost.com/howto/turn-off-restart-iphone-x-iphone-11/

Hello! Very good and useful video, Thank you! By the way, how are you hiding this annoying AssestiveTouch button from your iPad when you are not using a mouse.
@tech_craft4 жыл бұрын
To hide it when the mouse is connected I set: Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Assistive Touch > Always Show Menu to off. To hide it when the mouse is disconnected, I use an iOS Shortcut to toggle AssistiveTouch on and off: www.icloud.com/shortcuts/7bcaa532f08f47debb5197c3a3d5f904 - this is just one shortcut action that use the the AssistiveTouch action with the toggle option. A few commenters have suggested adding an Accessibility shortcut to the control centre. In Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut choose AssistiveTouch. Then in Settings > Control Centre add Accessibility Shortcuts to your control window. Now you can either triple-press your top button, or swipe open the control centre to easily toggle AT.

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.
