Sup guys! Shortcuts is an amazing application that I spent 6+ hours playing around with yesterday. Hopefully this video makes everything a little bit easier to understand!
Trouble with Siri SCs is I and a lot of people don’t use Apple services so Short Cuts can’t use other services like Play Music for instance. For me, I’m not going to switch to Apple Music Services just so I can use these short cuts.
Thanks for this…as was confused as to what this is & does…..now I know. Your just creating macros to run on iOS. Now it’s easy for me, lol.
Cheers✌?
I also have a question regarding my iPhone XS Max and Bluetooth. My phones blue tooth was working fine up until a couple weeks ago.now with my blue tooth connecting to my car, my AirPod pretty much any Bluetooth device. Example with my car if I lay the phone on my dashboard it will stay connected. Then if I lay the phone on my lap it disconnects. My 2 daughters have the same phone and they do not have the issue. I erased everything and reinstalled from iCloud and iTunes and it didn’t fix the issue. Wondering if you had any thoughts?
Man, your videos have helped me a ton. If you own an iPhone and you want to take advantage of all the settings, your search is over. Subscribe and learn.
One of the important shortcut I found that would be useful to integrate in the widget was Turning of Bluetooth and Wifi after Airdrop instead of going to settings and then turning it off… I found it very useful making that…I am so relieved now… one click in the widget and your wifi and bluetooth goes off … thanks Brandon… I also made the same as you used "taking off" and "landing" as well…
Brandon. I love all the content you have created which is incredibly helpful, but take a breath. From an educational viewpoint you start off the video without telling your audience to download the shortcut app and skip through it so fast. I bet I am not the only one that needs to go to other videos to watch how to actually do some of the tasks before coming back to your video. As I said in the opening, I love the content but you could save us all time if you went a little slower and included all the steps…
Gabbles to fast get giddy trying to remember every thing at once.
Recommend not tipping on the tax unless your a very generous person.
thx realy helpfull
I enjoy watching you, but for someone who is new to all this you talk very fast and move very fast. I find myself having to search for other videos on “how to”
Now I can just say “Lumos” and Siri will turn flashlight on,and when I say “Nox” she will turn it off! AAAHHHH
Hi Brandon… you are super clear and organized in delivering the video… keep it up… quick one is the a way to have the show alert action run at a specific time each day or there is no other way that I have to ask Siri to run it or press the shortcut button
or you could ask siri how many days till christmas
its actually easier as you don't even have to unlock your know
Hi Brandon, Firstly I need to say that I find your instructional videos relating to Siri / Apple Shortcuts very interesting, easy to follow and well put together.
I have recently been diagnosed with Aspergers; so I have done some research to find out more about this condition as well as assist others if I can. So, I have found a group which assist people on the Autism Spectrum to do workshops that may lead to employment opportunities;
I have been invited to participate in a new program which in collaboration with a local company and the support of apple with donated iPads… are working on building Shortcuts for better Accessibility for those with the following conditions:
* Vision Impaired
* Hearing Impaired
* Physical & Motor Skills
* Learning & Literacy
* Cognitive (Autism, Non Verbal etc.)
I would really appreciate your's and anyone else's assistance with this task, by either pointing me in the direction/sharing of exisiting Shortcuts or Building them for those who could benefit.
An important note, is… this workshop is only for this week (1 week, ending 1 March 2019) So, if you are able to provide assistance within the next couple of days… so I can share this with the group… it would be greatly appreciated.
can some show me how to make a open url shortcut
Great Video! I have been waiting for something like this since forever.
Hi, thank you for sharing this tutorial. Can I know time in Australia By just saying the word “Sydney” please? My Son lives there and it would be much easier to use a shortcut for this. I downloaded the App Shortcuts, and I’m trying to create a shortcut for ( world clock) but no success because it won’t show in search box.
where do you find the siri shortcuts app, i have ios 12.1.4 and i dont see it anywhere?
hi like your videos on shortcuts but I got the taking off working but I can't get the landing to work Thanks
Hi. So I try to do the calculation, kinda failed ?. I did everything you did but in my phone it doesn’t work correctly. Any help?
MUST DOWNLOAD SHORTCUT APP FIRST. starts at 4:26
I wonder when I would buy an iPhone… Probably not for a decade…
Hey man very nice video and useful. great video by-the-way ! 🙂
Oh anyway, can I seek your advice in this open source android app I have posted below? I will be happy to get feedback about this app. Greatly appreciate!…
http :// bit. ly/2TGCU1T
Sorry about the url having spaces in between because Youtube don't allow me to place url or anything related to Google Play url.. they are somehow hidden by Youtube =( As such this is a shortened url to avoid this issue. Will appreciate if i could trouble you to remove the spaces to access this url which will forward to google play store.
Looking-forward 🙂
?? HEY YOU BOY TALKING, WOMYN AREN’T GUYS; GET GENDER RIGHT ??
Can u make a random word generator? If there is pls tell me how
I wanna know how to open Uber and direct put different destinations, like, my girl or moms, that would already save me a lot of time.
Is there a way to share a shortcut you've created with someone else?
Also can you create homescreen links to websites with this?
It's interesting and exciting,very similar to Tasker for Android. Great video!!
Nonsense
Confused ?
Can you please tell me if I can use this app with my AirPods to unlock my iPhone from Siri, also to open and play from Spotify or amazon music rather than Apple Music
Slow down!
I have an Acura car. They have an app called Acura Link to start the car. I need to be able to bind Siri to this app so I can just tell Siri to start the car. This shortcuts app doesn't even recognize the app. Bummer 🙁
How do I get the shortcuts on my locked screen?
I've always had an android and just got my first iphone 2 days ago. I have a lot to learn and to adjust to. Most especially the shortcuts and customization of iOS that is driving me nuts. Seriously. I have to go to settings all the time to switch hotspot on and off? I can't add it to control center. Also I was scared that I'll destroy the physical home button and had to ask someone about the assistive. Also what are gesture spots for? Like oh my god…
Applemversion of IFTT?
Why can't i take ALL apps and make shortcuts for things i really needs like open a door ?
To skip the BS go to .33 sec.
hey Brandon
great video ? question how to remove shortcut if you dont want to show in apps anymore
Siri says there’s something wrong with the app
Siri Shortcuts is essentially like Automator on the Mac. After playing with it for about 2 hours I concluded it's pretty useless without hooks into other apps. Like Automator, the user interface is unnecessarily cumbersome. I think it would be much easier to write macros for Siri, starting with the Trigger phrase and then making a list of commands Siri knows. For example:
[Trigger, spoken by user] "Hey Siri, Good Morning."
[Command Sequence, unspoken list of "Good Morning" Commands]
Turn on the lights
Speak "Good Morning, Kory"
What's the weather forecast (Siri speaks weather forecast here)
Lauch Bloomberg on SiriusXM
Get directions to work {Siri pulls work address from Contacts and speaks traffic conditions here)
Siri should be able to record these macros interactively too:
User: Siri, record a macro.
Siri: Ready, what's the first command
User: (Says first command)
Siri: (Repeats command and confirms it understands it, give options to edit, delete or finish)
User: (Says second command)
Siri: (Repeats command and confirms it understands it, give options to edit, delete or finish)
User: Finish
Siri: (Confirms end of command set and asks if you want to try it or exit).
Shortcuts is buggy too. On my test script, it performs correctly if you launch it manually from the app, but when you use the Siri trigger phrase it skips a step.
Am I stupid or is this confusing as heck bro
I hate to tell you this but you can just ask siri how many days until christmas
Do one on how to build the water eject feature
You can just ask Siri for days until Christmas. But I see how it can be useful. Ex. Days before vacations
Is it just me or is this unnecessarily complex. I am sure Google can do this far more simplier.
How about the Download File Essentials shortcut; it is the one everyone wants to use. (But no one knows how to use it; because of course it is Apple.)
I want to know how you did the calculating the tip!! Plz get back to me asap thank you!
Awesome video man I'm getting my new iPhone and want to learn about Shortcut it looks good, you made me subscribe and looking forward to learn and see more content from you.
Make a list where we can download your shortcuts
