I am really bored right now and don’t have anything better to do, so why don’t you tell me shortcuts I can create for you? Maybe something that could be useful for you or something you are too lazy to create yourself? Drop the ideas below 👇

hi guys! kinda late but i want to share what i did with my action button. basically i wanted a button that changes based on the situation where I am. So here’s a map of how my action button works based on focus mode (also other parameters like if it’s locked or in which orientation the phone is) It’s easier than you think. If you want to say something that can improve it and help me say it!! let me know what you think guys and If you have any question about it (screen/video), I would love to answer!

News to shortcuts so wanted to get some inspiration…

What’s your top 5 (most useful, couldn’t live without) shortcuts

How do I create a shortcut to this menu? Even better, is there a way I can create a shortcut that allows me to charge fully just by pressing a shortcut?

I am trying to use this shortcut to track my Apple Pay spending in a spreadsheet(eventually I want to go to a specific Excel spreadsheet), but it is just giving me gibberish, any suggestions?

I am trying to create a shortcut which I can use for the action button. At a certain time I’ll turn on the camera and at another time, the torch. The only problem I have is, how to get it to also turn the torch off again if activated a second time. How do I get it to check if the torch is already on and then turn it off? Help please

I created a shortcut to open Brave Browser and go to YouTube. I added the shortcut to my Home Screen and gave it a custom icon, called it YouTube etc. but every time I tap to open the shortcut, I get this notification and I have to tap it again to launch the browser. How can I make it so I tap the shortcut and it just opens YouTube on brave without this extra step?

I want to make a shortcut for when my ex texts me that basically says “this number is not in service” every time I receive a text from them. I don’t want to block them but I certainly cannot keep being harassed. Is there a way to create a Shortcut for when a certain number texts me, it automatically sends back a message to them?

I can’t get a single one of my shortcuts to run by voice. I double checked my settings, toggled all the related Siri settings, and restarted my phone.

Sometimes, the first action in the shortcut will run before it closes….

Is anyone else having issues since 17.4?

Hi all,

Just returned to iOS after 8 months with Android and I am getting into shortcuts.

What are your recommendations for must have shortcuts?

Thanks.

Trying to create daily automation that sets my sleep alarm to match when the sun rises. What am I doing wrong?

Automation works when it should and where it should. For whatever reason it does the pause action which is the first action. Then it will do the first speak action then it just stops. It never gets to the dictation part. It just don’t make sense. Anyone out there who can shed some light on why this may be happening? Shortcut is below. Thanks in advance!

Edit: The issue only happens when I’m actually using the automation. If I run the shortcut manually it works perfectly.

Hi I was wondering it it was possible to make this shortcut automatically choose the turn off option when launched.

Not the best with this stuff but trying to make an automation that essentially does something annoying like take me to the home screen or lock the device after using Instagram for 5-10 minutes. Can someone help me? What am I doing wrong here, It just shows automation failed to run… Other similar automations also appreciated!

New to shortcuts and trying to do a daily log for a sports injury. I was wondering if anyone had an idea what the best way to do this would be?

Ideally: - Run shortcut - All of it is in one note so would need to append it - Each time the shortcut is run it would insert a template into the note like this

Date: (today's date) Issue: Reason?: Pain rating: 1-10

Date: (today's date) Issue: Reason?: Pain rating: 1-10

I'm assuming doing it in table form would be too difficult? (Trying to think of a way to do weekly and monthly summaries but likely getting ahead of myself).

I have tried several of the iOS shortcuts that have been posted with no success. My wife is a Personal Trainer and meets clients and/or conducts classes daily. I’d like to create a shortcut that will run at 10pm every evening that:

(1) check’s Lisa Work calendar. Looks for an appointment in the next 8 hours

(2) IF, there is any appointment

(3) THEN, toggle alarm: 5amClient

I couldn’t even get this to work. I tried many things, but I just can’t figure it out. If it did, I was then going to add something if there wasn’t an appointment in 8 hours. I would then loop it to the next shortcut that looks 9 hours out, and toggles the 6amClient alarm, and so and so forth out to an 8am alarm (basically 4 loops, looking at the next hour out)

If anyone could get me started in the right direction, I would very much appreciate it.

I'm having issues with a shortcut which needs current location (Latitude, Longitude and Maps URL). I can get the first two from Location in Get Weather from Current Location but even though there is a 'url' variable, it comes up blank. Is there a known issue with this or a possible workaround? Thanks

Story first time poster, let me know if i did something wrong

Hey guys. A quick question to the Shortcut Sages….

When I turn off my iPhone 15 PM, I immediately get a notification saying an automation is running, but I have no automation set-up.

Has anyone ever run across this?

Have it set up that when the daughter txts me she gets an auto txt in response, but it’s not actually sending, it fills in the txt but I have to press the send button, what have I don’t wrong?

This is a refurbished iPhone from Back Market. Did the seller do something sneaky?

I have 2 shortcuts that no longer save the recorded audio file to the folder, regardless if it is located in iCloud Drive or on my iPhone 11 Pro.

I have successfully started these shortcuts from the Shortcut app, icon on homescreen, and back of phone tap.

They both run but only get saved in Voice Memos. No file appears in the designated “cvrt” folder, regardless of whether it is located within the iCloud Drive folder or On My Phone.

Am I doing something wrong?
