Although it may not seem like it, iOS 13 is loaded with new features
The update to iOS, iOS 13, presented in the last Keynote brought a lot of news Most fell on the iPad, thanks to iPadOS But that's not to say that on the iPhonewill fall short, far from it. In fact, a very interesting novelty arrives thanks to a great forgotten: the Siri Shortcuts
Shortcuts or Siri Shortcuts was launched as a novelty of iOS 12 This new app for the operating system of our iPhone and iPad, was born from Apple's acquisition of WorkflowSince its release it has been underused but from now on it will come pre-installed on devices running iOS/iPadOS 13
Although it is not a built-in function, the trick to change the default apps is effective
In this way, Apple wants to give it a push, since its possibilities are enormous. But not only that, since in the presentation of iOS 13 special emphasis was placed on the possibility of automating even more iOS thanks to Shortcuts And it is thanks to this automation that you can change the default apps.
Improvements that have been made to Shortcuts,include new automation options that allow you to delve deeper into system options. More specifically, we will now have an option called "when we open an application".
The option to add a shortcut to Siri
If we add « when we open an application » to a workflow we can choose different options. And this is where the interesting thing comes in, since, to this workflow, we can add the option already existing in iOS 12, open an application.
Adding that option and selecting the app that we want to open, we will have managed to change the default app that is used. This can be very useful for those who use alternative apps to the native apps since if we open, for example, the native weather app, our favorite weather app will open, and the same will happen with apps like Music or Camera
