I created two shortcuts last night and trained Siri. Pretty much the only time I want to talk to my phone is when I'm on Bluetooth. So - both fail to work under lock screen (when in a car, for example). Here is what happens:
- I invoke Siri using Siri Eyes Free
- I say the phrase
- Siri says "Running your shortcut"
- Siri then says "You will have to unlock your phone to do this" (or similar)
Confused?
Shortcut 1: is pretty much vanilla "share location" - so grab a location, convert it into Maps URL and send a message to someone with location attached. I want to be prompted for a contact to send the message too (using voice).
Shortcut 2: "launch podcast" - but I use a 3rd party podcast app. This one I can understand I guess the app needs to support shortcuts maybe so this can be executed?
More generic question is: should shortcuts work under lock screen?
