Voiceover: From getting
your estimated commute time
and ordering your morning coffee
to helping you find your keys
shortcuts save you time
on the things you do most.
Even better, you can create your own personalized, multi-step shortcuts
and run them with a quick tap or by asking Siri.
Here's how with the Shortcuts app.
In iOS 12, Siri can make suggestions
and send you reminders to help you be more efficient
throughout your day.
The Shortcuts app takes
these suggestions a step further
and allows you to program your
own actions and Siri commands
with some of your favorite apps,
including some third-party ones.
To get started,
make sure your iPhone
is running iOS 12 or later,
and download the Shortcuts app
from the App Store.
Click the link in the
description below to get it.
Ready?
Go ahead and open Shortcuts
from your Home screen
and tap Get Started.
Tap the Gallery tab
to take a look at some handy
pre-made shortcuts.
You'll find shortcuts for tasks
like finding the perfect GIF,
saving news articles to Notes,
calculating a tip,
and lots more.
Select one you'd like to add,
then tap Get Shortcut.
You might need to enter
some additional information
in order for it to work.
For example,
the heading to work shortcut
needs your work address
and city.
Some shortcuts require access
to other apps too.
Here we need access
to Maps, Calendar, and Music.
Tap Allow Access if prompted.
Then select a playlist
and tap Done to continue.
Now tap the Library tab
to see your installed shortcuts.
To run the shortcut,
just tap it.
Or to launch your shortcut
even faster,
you can set up a Siri command.
Tap the More button
on the shortcut tell
you want to edit,
then tap the Settings button,
and tap Add to Siri.
Tap the red Record button
and say your personalized
shortcut phrase.
[SIRI TONE]
"Time to go to work."
[SIRI TONE]
Now you can launch
that shortcut anytime,
with a little help from Siri.
"Hey Siri, time to go to work."
[SIRI TONE]
Siri: Running your shortcut.
Your shortcut says,
"Good morning!
Your ETA to work is 21 minutes.
Your first event today
is Meeting with LA Client.
Getting directions
and starting your playlist."
