Question to Shortcuts

[Bladery]

hey guys,

I don’t know if I got that right but what exactly can I do with the shortcuts?
Is it possible to say “Good night” and iPhone will turn of the lights and go in flights mode?

Something like that for example if your Lights are supported. I use it in a similar way to activate my alarm clock(s), set DND until the morning and send a "Good Night" notification to the screen

Ok nice, and flight mode is possible as well right?

Do you already use the app? I have the beta but don’t find shortcuts anywhere

Sure you can set flight mode as well. The Shortcuts beta is only available via Test Flight and you have to signed up to get it.

I don’t have access to the developer center :/

Shortcuts can absolutely do what you asked, with whatever phrase you want. It was released on a limited basis to people with a Apple Developer accounts who signed up. That appears to have been a one time thing, however. You can expect the app to be released next week, more than likely. In the meantime, try out the Workflow app, on which Shortcuts is based. Doesn’t have all the same capabilities, especially as relates to system settings, but will give you an idea how it works.

I’m a little curious how you set an alarm with Shortcuts? Can you post what you did?

By the way, is this going to be a separate app or integrated in iOS in e.gz settings?

There will be a Shortcuts app that will let you construct your own routines. There is also Siri Shortcuts which will be one off app actions suggested by Siri. E.g “I see you always stop for coffee on the way to work on Tuesdays. Would you like me to order that for you now?” The latter is built in.

Just like that. Haven‘t tried to create a new alarm yet.

Ah, I see what you did there. You grabbed the alarm action from the Siri Shortcuts section on Siri&Search and used that for your first action. That had me confused because there's not yet a native Clock-based action in the Shortcuts app itself.

Thanks!
