How about a Shortcut that launches the Kindle or Books app at a certain time each Saturday morning, plays relaxing ocean waves sounds at a prescribed volume, and then turns on Do Not Disturb for an hour so you can read without distractions? How about a Shortcut that figures out how long it’s going to take you to get home, and sends a text message with that info to your husband or wife automatically? How about a Shortcut that pops up a picture from a year ago, just for fun, and it’s different every time you run the shortcut? How about a Shortcut that makes text bigger, and another one that makes it normal-size again? I know, I know: the iPhone and iPad are already so amazing, what else could we possibly want? Well… All you have to do is figure out what it is you want your iPhone or iPad to do. That’s the beauty of the Shortcuts app: it allows each person to customize his or her iPhone in a way that works for him.

Each task– which could be a simple one-step thing, or a very complex multi-step thing– is called a “Shortcut,” and you create them, and run them, right on your iPhone or iPad. The Shortcuts app in iOS runs custom tasks that you create, either on demand or automatically, based on conditions that you specify.
