Create Siri Shortcuts
iOS 12 is here. In addition to improvements to the system, Apple has included interesting new features. The most striking is probably Siri Shortcuts This novelty, the result of Apple's purchase of Workflow, allows us to automate actions with Siri and today, we teach you how to create your own Shortcuts.
Creating Siri Shortcuts is really simple and can be very useful, here are the steps to follow:
To create Siri Shortcuts, the first thing to do is download the app.This does not come pre-installed so you have to download it from App Store or, if you have Workflow installed on your device, update the app. Thus, Workflow will become Siri Shortcuts on iOS.
The icon with two lines that you have to press to access the Shortcut settings
When opening the app, we will see all the Workflow shortcuts, in case we had it. To create new ones we have to click on "Create shortcut", which will create a new shortcut that we can fill with actions.
These actions are at the bottom, in a tab that we can slide up. We will see some very simple and simple but if we click on search, in addition to being able to search for actions, we will access a tab with many more actions that allow us to create more complex shortcuts.
Add to Siri
Once we have added the actions we want in our shortcut it is time to add the shortcut to Siri. As? Very easy. We have to press the icon with two lines in the upper right part through which we access the settings.
There, just below the shortcut icon settings we will find “Add to Siri“. The next thing will be to press it, press the recording icon, and say the phrase with which we want Siri to execute the Shortcut that we have created. It's that easy to make Siri launch Voice Shortcuts.
