Maybe I just havent seen them, but I feel like youtube is lacking in shortcut tutorials. This stuff is great. it definitely takes a bit to learn the logic behind creating shortcuts. im also going to check out that guys catalog. Sounds like a goldmine.
Well I'm trying to fill the void! My playlist of all Shortcuts videos is here! th-cam.com/play/PLCnyeuWW0bgaj8ZykefmxpSLZYX9sHdlS.html&si=xcO5z6LmpMrkLefB
Just made a couple Shortcuts for my iPhone, one for pulling up My Radar (which is a weather app) on my home screen and also the Social Network shortcut is brilliant, I put a bunch of my most used apps on it now I can go to them with two clicks, one to open the menu and one more to pick what app. Thanks so much Stephen.
Apart from the great content, the way you made everyone understand is the best thing i like. You got a subscriber bro.. please enlighten us with more possibilities of “shortcuts” You chosen a rare topic and people are really looking for it. Keep up the good work 💐
Just found your channel searching for how to use Shortcuts and I’m so excited to find all of the shortcuts to be even more efficient. This video helped me solve the super minor yet so annoying thing with the orientation lock, I always want it locked except when I’m on TH-cam 😎
Glad you found the channel, and the orientation is a great one! When you're ready to dive in further 😏 th-cam.com/play/PLCnyeuWW0bgaj8ZykefmxpSLZYX9sHdlS.html&si=buydJM4q83gDc_IB
Finally had time to learn and put this app to good use. Very clearly explained features of the app. Now i think i cant stop trying new stuff. Thank you.
AWESOME job on this one brother! Very informative and well shot. Thank you, your efforts are very much appreciated. KEEP AT IT! With this type of fit and finish you will have a 100,000 subs before you know it!
I created an automation that I use with a smart outlet to only charge my iPhone when the battery goes under 30% and stop charging after 80%. That way my battery health is always at 100% even after 2 years of use.
@@winggau452 technically its at 80% health, since you never use the 20% that you are protecting with this message.. So not sure if there is any advantage of heaving always 100% health, when only using 80%, over just using it all and having only 90% after few years 😅
Great video on automations menu 😄. One great thing I found out is that if you enable both "Is Opened" and "Is Closed" and set it to "toggle" you won't have to create multiple automation for the same app (Just sharing a shorter method to avoid duplication).
Well done, Stephen. Very helpful. I’m making a menu driven app “launcher” for my home screen right now. I’m working toward a focus driven home screen setup and this will definitely make that easier.
I have a good one for you for automation When battery level equal 100% -speak “battery at 100%” -off power from your smart plug This means that u will never overcharge your phone anymore
i am amazed that no one ever mentions where or how you backup your shortcuts. I have searched a bit and found some shortcuts that supposedly did this, but they did not work. A backup and restore would be really nice.
Since I moved to HomeKit on all my stuff I have been watching a lot of these videos about it. This is one of the best videos I have watched. Thank you! One question, the open tiktok and set volume to mute is genius!! How to I set volume on an app open automation?
Glad it was helpful! In the Shortcuts app, go to the automations tab, then choose app as the trigger. Say when app is opened, then add the media volume action and bring it to zero!
@@beardfm I don’t seem to have Media volume as an option when I search. You must have an app that has added that option in your options. I made a work around by making shortcut to set the phone volume to 5% then under automations>app>tiktok when open set to 5% shortcut. Still works but not 100% the same.
I gave a dare to every content creator, and no one solved this dare "When we shoot a photo/video on iPhone, it should automatically added into a specific album/collection [other than "Recent" folder] in Photos App"
Hi Stephen - I have a suggestion for your next Shortcut video: a Shortcut to stop charging older iPhones (e.g. 12, 13, 14) when the battery level is greater than 80%
Your videos are amazing.. really useful. Need your help to create a shortcut for following scenario - I have a dual sim and need to turn off one of the cellular line by single click of a shortcut .. possible?
FANTASTIC you are the best thank you very much , but how do I ad it to my homescreen? i have set it up to open up all my socials but cant get it on homescreen haha
Hi Steven, I have a shortcut for enable the speak screen option, but there is a way to desable the same speak screen??? Thanks. Congrats to all of your work.
Great content, like the way you explain these shortcuts and help for us to create them with understanding, seen a few videos already just showing off a shortcut with QR codes to add them, much prefer understanding and creating my own. Keep it up buddy, look forward to more... subbed!
Thanks for saying so, and glad the walkthroughs are helpful! Will be making more like this for sure: th-cam.com/video/JP3IeQjWdK0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AalexrPWFcW1OADm
Just found your videos and found them very useful, informative and easy to follow. Trying to figure out a sunset automation that plays some specific songs then plays other like artists. Had this set up before to play one certain song then like artists but that was a happy accident and accidentally deleted it. Help! 😊 BTW of course I subscribed to your channel!
Thank you for great video! I like automation to turn off the sound when TikTok is opened, but is there an option to prevent it while Spotify is playing song in the background?
Hi Stephen, I have been enjoying your videos. Do you know if you can run a shortcut just on the watch and not the phone? The use case is that if I arrive home, I want to automatically turn off the cellular connection just for my watch, not my phone. I often forget it has been turned on on the watch if I leave the house just with my watch. Thanks
Thank you! So you can run Shortcuts in the Watch by itself (like my Home ETA Shortcut) but automations only run on your iPhone. There are some Watch actions that can run via automation, but toggling the cellular setting on the watch specifically isn’t possible yet.
great video. I created some shortcut menus but it seems to take a a couple seconds for the shortcut to go off. it didn't used to do this. anyway to fix it?
@@beardfm 17.0.3. If I run the shortcut from the app or from a widget it’s fine. But if I run it from the bookmarked icon then it shows the shortcut processing.
Can you make a video showing us all the shortcuts that you use and their purpose? Would be cool to see how you handle repeating tasks and give some inspiration
Need to set up a shortcut for my bus routes and schedules, I'm learning. In Safari my bus app is all I use on there, want to know how to setup the different directions north or south? Sometimes I'm at the bus stop and trying to look at my phone when I would like to just use Siri or make a shortcut? I know planning ahead or checking before I walk out there, even then I still would like to shorten the process? Think I'm on to something, I like this!
Very nice video. Is it possible to create a shortcut in the Shortcuts app and then run the shortcut from say the "single press" of the Aqara mini button? I'd like to have multiple Aqara buttons run the same shortcut and hopefully not have to create the same action in different buttons.
Is there any way to create a shortcut to turn on Apple TV then open a specific app in the Apple TV then have a few commands from the remote be executed in the app for example down, down then enter
Great video, very useful keep them coming!! How do you remove the shortcut name so it does not show at the top of the menu list as on mine it shows the shortcut name?
Hi, as I see circle to search on S24 Ultra , can you help set something similar as circle to search by using shotcut app, then we could optimizing iPhone action button?
Stephen, do you know of or have created a shortcut to quickly scan a receipt to a receipt folder in my iCloud files folder? If it could also ask to create a folder if I choose to file receipts would be great. Seems it should be easy but not as good with shortcuts yet. There are apps for this but know I can do this manually for free so seems a shortcut can be done. 😊. Thanks. Marty
Old eyes and a small iPhone screen don't play well together. Could I do everything you did in this video using Shortcuts on the Mac and have them in working order on the phone? Thanks.
`Thank you. I used to have a shortcut that started voice memo without making any sounds simply by triple tapping the back of the phone and I can no longer do that. Is there a new way to do that?
I used to do a lot of macros in Excel, but for some reason, the shortcuts are just messing with my brain. I have an Apple Watch that allows me to track if my heart starts beating less than 40 bpm and then I get an alarm. I’d like to have that on during the day, but since my heart beats drop into the 30s, then I get notifications all night long that my heart is slowed down too much. The watch does not allow you to set it for less than 40 bpm. I’m trying to figure out how to make a toggle switch, so when I get in bed, I can just turn it off and then when I wake up, I can just turn it on, or maybe there’s even a way to just have it do it automatically based on the time of day. My tired old brain is really struggling with this. Hopefully you will see this and be able to assist. Thank you in advance if you are able to I would like to understand the steps, but I see that once the macro is built and I can look at it and figure it out, I just have a hard time building them .
Thanks! And that's strange, I see on Bear's website that Shortcuts can't access locked notes. Are yours open? Also be sure to update Bear to the latest version and then open the Bear app on the device you're using to create the Shortcuts: bear.app/faq/how-to-use-siri-shortcuts-with-bear/
Great tutorial, thank you for the effort you put on creating the video. And btw the wallapaper you are using looks very neat. Is there a way i can find it anywhere on the internet ?
Great video. It is confusing. I have a Smart Garage door Genie Aladdin Connect. I’m trying to create a Shortcut w Siri Open Garage Door / Close Garage Door. How can I create such a shortcut?
Stephen, question: Are you experiencing issues with the show Apple TV remote action not opening the correct Apple TV? I have 7 Apple TV’s and using a shortcut action to open a specific Apple TV usually results in iOS/iPadOS opening the last used Apple TV instead of the specified one…
Thank you for the great content. I have a question. I just created the Choose from menu shortcut and added it to my Home Screen. When it launches it is slow. Before the list shows i get a smaller window with the stop Icon. Then the list of 7 apps shows. Then when I launch an app the same animation comes up. This is my first shortcut and in your videos it looks seamless. Did I possibly do something wrong? I am using an updated 13 Pro Max. My 15 arrives soon. Thanks for your time.
Thanks for watching! Your 13 Pro Max should have no trouble with that Shortcut, although I wonder if the Dynamic Island helps hide / speed up that process. In the Shortcut, do you have "Show when Run" enabled on any of the steps?
@@beardfm I don’t have that enabled on any step. The lag only seems to happen when I create an icon for the shortcut and put it in the Home Screen. In the shortcut app and if I make it a widget it’s flawless.
@@beardfmGreat tutorials! Subscribed…. I too am experiencing this issue on my iPhone 13 Pro Max v 17.1.2. If I run the shortcut within the app, it loads instantly. But if I add it as a shortcut to the Home Screen, when clicked, you see a progress circle with the stop button inside for about 2 seconds, then menu loads. After selecting the app, it launches the app and another window pops up, ending shortcut the shortcut. I didn’t see an option to enable or disable Show When Run…
If only there was a Shortcut to adjust the Ringer volume from your System/App volume. I say this with slight sarcasm as I still can't believe Apple haven't given us this ability !!! I should be able to have my ringer volume at a different level to the other sounds. The amount of chat forums I have seen people ask for this, and given the SAME advice which does not help. It just isn't there as an ability. Maybe JUST maybe IOS 18 would provide this?? but NO .. :( Apple Fanboy through and through .. but this one has been there for years and I wish they would sort it out. Maybe there will be some kind of workaround with something like shortcuts to overcome this. Thanks for the excellent videos and making me OBSESSED with Shortcuts since beginning of this week :)
I keep my Apple ID locked with a poss code via the pathway below, but it has multiple steps. Is it possible to create a shortcut that selects successive sub menus in settings app so it goes straight to the account changes option? (Eg.: settings > screen time > content & privacy restrictions > account changes )
I tried the menu option but then i noticed iPhone has the option to create folder to group different apps and you can put it in the dock as well. Way easier than creating a shortcut.
Yes! In Shortcuts, create a new automation, trigger is "when connected to power" and then add the action "Turn hotspot on"! Going to include this in a video soon!

Great tutorial, thank you for the effort you put on creating the video.
And btw the wallapaper you are using looks very neat. Is there a way i can find it anywhere on the internet ?
Thank you! And that wallpaper is here: kirokustudio.co.uk/shop/bound-wallpaper-pack/
It seems that they dont have it anymore !
Great video
Appreciate it!
Great video. It is confusing. I have a Smart Garage door Genie Aladdin Connect. I’m trying to create a Shortcut w Siri Open Garage Door / Close Garage Door. How can I create such a shortcut?
Does the Genie have HomeKit support? Or if you search within shortcuts for "Genie" does it have any actions available?
Thanks, Stephen! This is a great indoctrination into Shortcuts
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
Thank you for this
My pleasure!
Apple I think I’m convinced now
Once you find some use cases Shortcuts becomes really powerful!
well done , please tell me how to use shortcuts as I want many time , to turn on Location services and some time I have off it
Stephen, question: Are you experiencing issues with the show Apple TV remote action not opening the correct Apple TV? I have 7 Apple TV’s and using a shortcut action to open a specific Apple TV usually results in iOS/iPadOS opening the last used Apple TV instead of the specified one…
I’ve had some bugs there recently, yes. But with all the new OS updates I’ve seen bugs in many places. Hoping 17.1 fixes many of these
Thank you sir
Thank you for the great content. I have a question. I just created the Choose from menu shortcut and added it to my Home Screen. When it launches it is slow. Before the list shows i get a smaller window with the stop Icon. Then the list of 7 apps shows. Then when I launch an app the same animation comes up. This is my first shortcut and in your videos it looks seamless. Did I possibly do something wrong? I am using an updated 13 Pro Max. My 15 arrives soon. Thanks for your time.
Thanks for watching! Your 13 Pro Max should have no trouble with that Shortcut, although I wonder if the Dynamic Island helps hide / speed up that process. In the Shortcut, do you have "Show when Run" enabled on any of the steps?
@@beardfm I don’t have that enabled on any step. The lag only seems to happen when I create an icon for the shortcut and put it in the Home Screen. In the shortcut app and if I make it a widget it’s flawless.
@@beardfmGreat tutorials! Subscribed…. I too am experiencing this issue on my iPhone 13 Pro Max v 17.1.2. If I run the shortcut within the app, it loads instantly. But if I add it as a shortcut to the Home Screen, when clicked, you see a progress circle with the stop button inside for about 2 seconds, then menu loads. After selecting the app, it launches the app and another window pops up, ending shortcut the shortcut. I didn’t see an option to enable or disable Show When Run…
If only there was a Shortcut to adjust the Ringer volume from your System/App volume. I say this with slight sarcasm as I still can't believe Apple haven't given us this ability !!! I should be able to have my ringer volume at a different level to the other sounds. The amount of chat forums I have seen people ask for this, and given the SAME advice which does not help. It just isn't there as an ability. Maybe JUST maybe IOS 18 would provide this?? but NO .. :( Apple Fanboy through and through .. but this one has been there for years and I wish they would sort it out. Maybe there will be some kind of workaround with something like shortcuts to overcome this. Thanks for the excellent videos and making me OBSESSED with Shortcuts since beginning of this week :)
I keep my Apple ID locked with a poss code via the pathway below, but it has multiple steps. Is it possible to create a shortcut that selects successive sub menus in settings app so it goes straight to the account changes option? (Eg.: settings > screen time > content & privacy restrictions > account changes )
help please. for some reason when i choose open app, not all my apps are available only ios apps not the downloaded ones
I tried the menu option but then i noticed iPhone has the option to create folder to group different apps and you can put it in the dock as well. Way easier than creating a shortcut.
Hi mate where did you get the icon from in the bottom right of your iPhone screen, cheers
I made that in Pixelmator!
Good simple info. New sub
Appreciate it! More tutorials coming soon 🙏
@@beardfm yeah been in apple eco system for awhile just never dove deep
Is it possible to auto enable personal hotspot whenever the iPhone is connected to either wired or wireless power with a Shortcuts automation? How?
Yes! In Shortcuts, create a new automation, trigger is "when connected to power" and then add the action "Turn hotspot on"! Going to include this in a video soon!
