Siri Shortcuts recognizes actions you take regularly and prompts you to perform them based on previous behaviors. Shortcuts has two parts: Siri Shortcuts, and the Shortcuts app. Or, simply tap the “Share Location” Shortcut to pull your current location, copy the Maps URL, and paste it into a message to one of your contacts. For example, tell Siri “Say Cheese,” and your phone will open your camera app, take a hands-free picture, and save it to your camera roll. You can trigger a Shortcut by opening the iPhone Shortcuts app, accessing it through iOS’s widgets, or by adding it to Siri. Shortcuts combines a series of steps into a single action, automating what you do with multiple apps into just one step. Shortcuts is a powerful and useful tool on the iPhone, letting you do most of what you use your phone for in half the time. With iOS 12, Apple introduced Shortcuts, a new app that automates a wide variety of common iPhone tasks across multiple apps with just one tap (or by asking Siri).
