Siri Shortcuts
Siri Shortcuts is an iOS app that lets you assemble sequences of actions across other apps on your phone that Siri can run for you. You can employ programming functions like if/else, repeating loops, and variables. You can give Siri text to read and let Siri understand your speech.
I like coming up with new Shortcuts and putting them together – it’s like a game where the goal is to design an easy and valuable user experience to make your own life easier. These are some of the Siri Shortcuts I made and use often.
If you have an iPhone on iOS 13 with Siri Shortcuts installed, you can try these right now, but you must be on your phone to download them. Each post has instructions for how to get started.
