Sup guys! Shortcuts is an amazing application that I spent 6+ hours playing around with yesterday. Hopefully this video makes everything a little bit easier to understand!
Brandon Butch thank you for simplifying this! Apple thinks everybody’s a programmer! Unfortunately I went to a piece of crap high school that didn’t offer anything in the ways of computers!
Brandon Butch how did you get bill amount? I’m stuck on the “get variable”!
Once you click Get Variable, you have to go to the top & click on the Bill Amount
I'm also stuck there and I have already spend like 20 minutes trying to find Bill Amount. (am I missing something?)
Brandon Butch the calculator shortcut doesn’t work for me. When I get to the variable part after setting up the menu, there no variable named “bill amount”
3:15 finally starts telling you how.
The true hero
Lord. Thank you for this.
k
Thank you...
I totally agree with your time stamp but I know so many people that want the intro because it’s thorough and it allegedly is necessary , like my lady. Kinda like Spoilers, I appreciate Spoilers because it tells me if a movie is worth watching.
This is HUGE! Basically simplified programming directly on your phone.
This is pretty massive, I hope Android release a similar version. Having a library of Shortcuts to choose from seems like a joy.
It's kinda much harder than "regular" programming. Simplest scripts looks like a huuuuge pile of blocks.
Stephanie Hallberg android had “Tasker”...light years ahead of Apples shortcuts. Shortcuts is nice and a step in the right direction but we apple users need an equal to Tasker. Tasker activates with out interaction when some set of conditions are met and then it performs the programmed set of tasks...it’s a great software
Stephanie Hallberg you have IFTTT on android, its pretty much the same
This is garbage compare to other ifft apps, even ms flow is better than this i guess
I thought this app was too complicated for me, but after watching this and looking through it, I found it’s actually genius. Thanks!
No problem, glad you found it useful!
Same
Same
Now I can just say “Lumos” and Siri will turn flashlight on,and when I say “Nox” she will turn it off! AAAHHHH
Luna Lovegood good idea!
Luna Lovegood Genius
I did the same thing lol. I also ask “After all this time?” And it responds with “Always”
Ok but how exactly did you do that
Luna Lovegood 🤣🤣🤣
This seemed just like coding except much easier way
• Sparklez_Foxy • because that’s what it is!
After watching a few of your videos on your channel regarding “Shortcuts”, I’ve now subscribed to master this craft. ✌🏽
Its the best app in my iPhone
Are you talking about youtube?
nayeer ahnaf he’s talking about shortcuts
Amazing! Apple really taking there "Everyone Can Code" initiative very seriously.... Shortcuts is a great way to introduce everyone to simple concepts in coding!! Love it!!
Dam! This app is nuts 😱
Great video bro! Waiting for that advanced video 💪😌
or you could ask siri how many days till christmas
its actually easier as you don't even have to unlock your know
I made a 2 shortcuts thanks to this, one is to text my brother 8 times saying “oof” and another I made was to say “I have the high ground” and I would be brought to voice memos where it would say “you underestimate my power”
Awesome video. Looking forward for your advanced video and also ur top 10 one. Cheers..
YESSSS YESSSS PLEASE
Why can’t I select my garage door app and set it to open the garage when I arrive home?
Thank you so much for this!
Could you please make a video on how to turn on and turn off the location services (GPS). Apple didn’t give a way to add that to the control centre like it did cellular data.
Hey Brandon, I am trying to do the tip short cut but I can only get to where you add the tip amount and after that I get lost starting with how to add the decimals. It goes to fast for me.
Damn this made me love my iPhone so much more!!
Please make a video on that tip calculater. You lost me.
Jonathan Peckham factsss pleaseee
They have the tip shortcut in the gallery as a preset
slapto I couldn’t find searching for tip, tip calculator or calculate tip, what was it called? I was able to add percentages following his video, but couldn’t figure out how to get the variable in there..thx!
Debi Aldo it’s called calculate tip. It’s under essential in the gallery
slapto. Found it thx!
I was gonna completely ignore this app because my first impression was that it seemed complicated. But you made it look so easy! Definitely going to revisit the app now and mess around with it! Thanks for this video!
Thanks man keep going
We need more shortcuts
Hi Brandon, great tutorial. I looked for a good 5 minutes on my iPhone to for the shortcuts app. Never found it. Had to watch another channel, and see that it's a separate app you must download.... so anyone also scratching your head - this app is NOT installed by default on your iPhone or iPad ( not sure why not ) anyway, yup, look for "shortcuts" on the app store, and make sure it's by developer Apple to make sure it's the real one. Thanks for the video Brandon ! - Mark over at the BakeLikeAPro recipe channel. Off to watch part of this video again... some great info in it ! ( p.s. - last night I was fooling with the iPhone settings under Siri settings, and was thinking this is really not straight forward at all ... you can add a shortcut, but it's very confusing... thank goodness for your video ! )
Thanks man, glad the video helped!
👍😊 awesome awesome Brandon ! Thanks for posting !
BakeLikeAPro many thanks for this...this was the only reason I came to this video, because I thought the guy would start with the basics...also if you are searching for this app in the App Store on an iPad you need to filter by ‘supports iPhone only’...
I had the beta and for the longest and I didn’t even try shortcuts because the shortcuts included without the app seemed so primitive. Downloading the app now
BakeLikeAPro Just so everyone knows shortcuts is not a new app. It’s been on the App Store for years. Let me explain Apple bought a company that owned a app under the name workflow. This was about a year ago. They just decided to rebrand it. I’m just saying because I’m tired of people treating like an amazing app. Apple changed nothing from the original
can you update this vid with the ios 131.1 software, its a little different
Much appreciated - I look forward to the forthcoming video on advanced shortcuts. I really struggled to get my head around this but I’ve still more to learn.
Wow amazing I'm back to iOS from last night
Hi Brandon, I just watched your tutorial to make a countdown to Xmas, wow.... it took me about 20 mins, I was pausing your video, rewinding playing rewinding ! but got it to work ! -- OK you must be a whiz at programming, this is some pretty advanced stuff ! ... that said - thank you ! ... AND.... I think you could start a whole new series on just doing Siri shortcuts ! ✅ I had NO clue how powerful these could be ! - something to really think about.... how about a new Siri shortcut every week or something ? ✅ .... I'd love to watch and learn and try a new one every week for sure ! 👍😊
BakeLikeAPro same lol
Absolutely agree here for a series devoted to shortcuts. Bravo!
I heard someone made a text to Morse code converter, which used the flashlight to send the signal.
My dude! You just helped me a lot Thanks!
Here’s a question for you:
What if I would like to restart the dates of the action. Let me put an example.
I get paid every 15 days, and from today there are still 12 days to get paid. So once I got to the payday, I don’t want to go back to the shortcut and put a different date every 15 days, how could I loop this payment date so every 15 days it renews by itself without me having to go and add July 15, then July 30, then August 15, etc.?
That would be really helpful and it would save so much time!
Abraham Diaz you can do this on your calendar. Create an event, call it Pay Day, then go down to Repeat>Custom and set to Every, and set it to 15 days. Then set a calendar reminder and you’ll get a notification every 15 days.
The most innovative application
Could u please explain how u made the shortcut for the tipping a bit more precisely? Would be really nice!
Awesome video btw, already copied the taking off and landing shortcut from u 😇
I was waiting for this!!!
🙌
Great explanatory better than Apple.....
Hundred and thousands 👍......
Thanks!
apple literally made the app
Apple made the app lol
Apple Made Shortcuts
LOL
I've seen this video so many times in my recommended I knew it was in Siri settings but never knew this existed omg thank you so much
We need more such videos. So informative and fun to watch. Potential of this app is limitless!❤️
Excellent video! Thanks! 👍🏻
Thanks for watching James!
Great idea but what could
You use for every day use? Im struggling to come up with ideas 😂🙈
Is useless man. I tried to use it because is a powerful tool but is no good in real life. Our life is already sorted quite well.
The only limitation is your imagination.
If you use some kind of music app, I would try making something to scan your songs till you find one you wanna listen to, kinda like a car radio.
Recently with the pandemic I had to teach my high schoolers online, but my timing was a bit different as I am an assistant teacher. Sometimes I’d have early morning classes and sometimes I’d have mid day. I was thankful for midday classes as it allowed me to get more sleep (I have insomnia). However, in order to clock in for the day, my head of department made us send a message every morning at 8am. Thanks to shortcuts, it sends the automated message to me every morning. I’m so thankful lol
@@neptunevibe not true at all you can set up features like speed dial which can help you call someone quickly. It can show you your calendar if you program the good morning shortcut it can start your playlist and show directions turn off/on low power mode command it to do something at some place or time ( in automation) and much more
This is so amazing! The 2 shortcuts you shows us how to make is a perfect example and got me hooked right away. More videos would be so amazing!!!
Thank you so much! I was so lost! I’ve never used Mac products at all & now I’m trying to run a business from an iPhone. Your a life saver!
please make an updated version! the app is a bit different now
this is so helpful thanks bro 👍🏻
No prob bro, thanks for watching
Great simplified explanation! Thank you! Ine question though, I created shortcut as in video and placed on home screen. But... When I click to run it, it actually opens the shortcuts application and run the actions as in debug mode, showing step by step in app. I would like that it does the actions without actually showing me this step by step flow. Is there a way? Thanks in advance!
Mind blown lol that Christmas shortcut was insane.
My inner nerd is gonna come out with this 😂
Can you please give us a link to the tip Siri Shortcut to download
you mean the shortcut app ? its in the appstore search for shortcuts
I made a hands Free Tip and hands on wix.to/y8AcAF4
So simple but amazing!! Thanks a lot man!👍🏾
Extremely useful tutorial, thanks. Am just about getting my head around the simpler ones, however, I have some learning to do yet.
Damn man! Thank you!!
I’ve got some practice to go!
Hopefully Apple cleans up some of the terminology for a wider array of people to use the app. I could NOT see my wife or mother using this unless is set it up for them 😂
Looking forward to more tutorials!!
yeah this is basically soft-core coding. user friendly, but not quite that of the lower end apple user.
Trying to figure out if it's possible to send texts automatically through this, while away from your phone, even. any ideas?
You don’t need a shortcut to send a text or email, just say “Hey Siri, send text...etc. etc. etc. to whom, will ask you for subject and contents and are you ready to send. I have been doing this for years while driving, Siri can already do tons of things. Add calendar appointments, reminders, etc. Have fun!! ;)
Debi Aldo sorry, I should have specified
I mean one where you can tell siri when to send the text. Say I wanted to send someone a happy birthday text at the first minute of the day, but I was asleep by that time already (though I'm usually not)
Through this script I could have it send a pre-written text at 00:01 to a person of my choosing
Siri shortcuts have to be activated by something, aka you. But you could try using iftt to activate a Siri shortcut
maybe if theres a "wait" command to wait for the clock. or possibly set a timer
This app is absolutely helpful! My mind can’t seem to wrap my head on how many possibility’s you could make with it.
Keep these short cut videos coming. I’m using this as a learning tool for simple programming computing context.
So after setting Airplane mode “Taking off” How does Siri enable “Landing” if it does not work while not connected to the internet, Basically Siri will not operate while in Airplane Mode!
his wifi is still on though his phone is on airplane mode thats why he is able to use siri but you do have a genuine point since there might not be internet at the aircraft upon landing and you'll be stuck saying "he siri" to your phone and look like a fool.
Thats what I use the Shortcuts Widget for
You can litterally ask Siri without all that and she will let you know lol I find that with a lot of these. I think it’s really only great for like heading home so it sets up playlist dorections and gets your lights on at home and all that
Yes most of these you can already ask siri to do, the shortcuts just let you use different names etc. to make it look cool but thats it. Directions to home I can already do this just by saying take me home, since I have my address written under my name under contacts, and siri knows that is me the owner of the phone, so she opens maps and gets directions to home when I say "take me home"
Russell Jennings yes this is true but this is a brand new concept, this is gonna be huge in the future and the potential is really big.
Thank you so so much Brandan for the lovely tutorial. This is indeed an amazing app to automate your daily tasks, that too control with voice commands. Kudos to the team behind Shortcuts
Man, your videos have helped me a ton. If you own an iPhone and you want to take advantage of all the settings, your search is over. Subscribe and learn.
I can’t think of anything I’d use this for haha
Kirstin faster way to get to porn
TheRetroGamest good one, but clearly I’ve had no work done or I’d be a lot better looking haha
Sheesh people are harsh. You look fine.
something tells me you don’t think, period.
Lol
I want to make a shortcut that does:
When I say creeper it will respond aww man
TheEnderAnimations haha
I have succeeded
mileven yeah how
How
Thanks for this...as was confused as to what this is & does.....now I know. Your just creating macros to run on iOS. Now it’s easy for me, lol.
Cheers✌🏻
Always loved macOS's automator. Now finally on iPhone too :D
OMG! I am a programmer. I think that the shortcut making just like a program working! Amazing!
damn shortcuts makes it seem like we on android
Johnny Mora yep. This app is brilliant. It is kinda like jb tweaks without jb. This app brings SOO much functionality to iOS which was known for having less features
Hey, this video was right on point. Question: is there a way to calculate the tip to the nearest even number within the app?
Thanks for sharing and teaching.
Thanks for the video... really good intro to shortcuts. I downloaded a few created by others the Reddit...some hardcore shortcuts can be run using the app for sure!
Thanks Francisco! Definitely some hardcore ones out there. It's crazy how much time you can spend playing around with Shortcuts
Hey, Brandon thanks for the tutorial video. On 'Calculate Tip' shortcut under 'Get Variable' how do you choose the 'BillAmount' option? I don't see it populated as an option. Following that with 'Calculate' how do you get the 'PercentageTipping' under 'Operand?'
Hoang Le same
I don’t know how but this is what I did to mine:
Get Variable: (ask for input)
Calculate: * (menu result)
Format number
Calculate + (ask for input result)
Format number
Return/show alert
Use “set variable” and put it right under the first one that asks the bill amount. Give it the name of “billamount” or whatever you want to name it. Do the same for percent tipping.
It’s already a preset in the gallery labeled “calculate tip”. No need to figure anything out!!!
Thank you. I was trying to follow his tutorial and nothing was working. So glad it's a preset!
Brandon, I appreciated the “Days until Christmas” shortcut, but as I watched, I thought it might be overly complicated. Again, it’s a good demonstration of different functions, but I tried a simpler version that also worked.
Date (December 25)
Format date
Get time between dates (right now)
Show Alert
This seems to work the same as your demo. Nonetheless, I did subscribe since you made me think. This App is going to be simply wonderful.
Not seeing how this works. Just tried it but from your text, there appears to be some fine points missing to make this work. Surprised no one has commented on this in 3 years. Interested if you can share. Tks.
This is a bit complicated, but one of the best tutorials I have seen so far. I am trying to build a "Shortcuts App" that will ask for basic patient info input and build into some determinant actions based on that input. You go kind of fast (good thing we can keep scrubbing back), but this is so much better than other resources (Apple should link to it- their guide is really poor). Thanks for posting this!
This is great, thank you!! Can you show us how you created the Amazon price history shortcut??
Its good don’t get me wrong But is it really an everyday thing that you would use..nah,Thumbs up for the video 👍🏻
John Abrams I never used Siri.. now I'm always trying to make my shortcuts better and I use Siri everyday now.
T-Rex good stuff
I only found out about this today.. when I updated to iOS13 ...
shortcuts are still there in ios 13
same
I did mine a bit differently but you for me over the right track. Thanks
Thanks for this Brandon great update.
But ... the first shortcut I tried to setup was for meditating - play 3 specific songs, turn on do not disturb and set timer for 25 mins.
I could do the first 2 but couldn't access the clock in shortcuts. Am I doing something wrong or do I need to download another timer app to be able to do all this in the shortcut? Whaddya think?
Cheers
MUST DOWNLOAD SHORTCUT APP FIRST. starts at 4:26
It doesn’t even show it at that time
I don’t wanna claim to be first ! Even though probably I am,
I’m surely the first to drop a like,
Close but no cigar!
Hi. Thanks for your helpful video. I try ton find a way to create a shortcut to pair Bluetooth devices... but unfortunately I can’t find the right elements to include in the shortcut... do you have an idea? Best regards, Guillaume
Question do you have a separate video that explains how you did the tip shortcut in more details?
Seems useless when your phone is always in your hand......
stop calling them SIRI shortcuts. Siri integration is just a miniscule feature of this automation app. its sooo much more than Siri!
That's what Apple calls it (developer.apple.com/videos/play/wwdc2018/211/)
It's What It's Called Idiot
*curb your enthusiasm theme plays*
Thank you. I have to watch it more than once though. I am a slow learner when it comes to technology.
Question, instead of having two shortcuts, one for take off and one for landing, is there any way of turning off the take off shortcut, or do you need separate shortcuts for each action?
Thanks. Can you share how you worked out the operand? Eg percentage and bill total
Awesome! Just created a "Shortcut" for my guest network. Thanks Brandon!
Nice video! I’m trying to setup a tip shortcut using your video and finding it difficult as I I’m not tech savvy. How do you get the tip amount and total price in the show alert section?
Great vid... but how would you have the TIP shortcut round up to the next dollar?
Hey Brandon thanks for the valuable information, can we also use shortcuts to use auto fill usernames and passwords because that app is not using keychain
Could you share screen shots of your full tip calculator? I’d love to look at it in detail, thanks!
When I'm programing my shortcut, I can't figure out how to get the script to bring me automatically back to the main home screen. All of my automations end with me still in the My Shortcuts App (unless, of course, my shortcut was to specifically open a different app). Is there a command to get me to the home screen? Thanks!
Great video. I have an alarm shortcut but it doesn't show sound. How can I add a specific sound/song when alarm sounds?
Hi Brandon. I am trying to program Shortcuts to display my current Walking steps. I just downloaded Shortcuts and cannot figure out if it can be done. It seems like I can only use Shortcuts to log an activity. Please let me know if this can be done.
trying to program siri to walk me through my makeup routine haha i think it should work now. it’s pretty simple, she just sounds too robotic and before watching this i was a little unsure how to program her to ask me if i’m done w each step before moving on. thank you!
Hi Brandon. Thanks for this video!
I have an (hopefully) interesting question:
I added a shortcut to play one of my playlists. That works alright. But I still have to then go to my phone to chafe the sound output to the amp. Is there any change I can add this?
Maybe like, play “xx” playlist and change output to speaker “xx”, if not available, use phone speaker.
Can you show us how to build the tip calculator? I created it myself but i seem to have a lot more set and get variables to make it work... Thanks :)
Thank you so much! What a great, useful video. However, I could not complete the "Calculate tip" one :( After I got to Get Variable, I don't know how you selected or created Bill Amount?!
Awesome video. Loved the take off and landed shortcut. Does anyone know if you can share your shortcuts? I saw the Calculated Tip shortcut already in the gallery. That would be cool if you could share shortcuts among Apple users.
Nice Video. I am searching for the option to find out the current time and then based on that time I can find the next appointment. And based on the appointment I can find where that appointment is, so that I can get directions. I am able to do this for the first activity of the day, as i can find the date. But the time is lacking. Or did I miss something?
Extremely helpful and detailed! Thanks a bunch! Where can I find your top 10 shortcuts? I’m getting the hang of it after stumbling through the calculator shortcut. (I’m using an iPad so it’s very different). Nonetheless, I got it!!!
Hey, Brandon thanks for the tutorial video. How would I set values to divide the check between the number of people at the table?
Awesome video Brandon! This is super helpful...keep the shortcuts videos coming! I'm looking forward to using shortcuts!
Thanks Brad! New Shortcuts video coming soon!
Hello sir, that was great explanation even though you were going too fast. My question is, I want to make one called blackout. Where I can set the smart Invert and reduce the white point to 100%. Can you do a video for that one please.
Awesome video man I'm getting my new iPhone and want to learn about Shortcut it looks good, you made me subscribe and looking forward to learn and see more content from you.
Thanks for this man! I know I’m late but this shortcuts app actually looks really useful after watching this
Hey really found your video useful and I’m new to iOS so this is absolutely brilliant. I’d like to know is there a way to set a shortcut so that the device launches an application once you leave a location and then turns this features off when the device reaches the next location, example leaving home turns on apps like BT and Spotify and then turns it off when I get to work?
Best explanation and examples of Workflow/Shortcuts I’ve seen. Looking forward to more videos. Thanks for taking the time to create this.
Finally the first video to shout out the awesomeness of Siri Shortcut. Superb job Brandon!
