With iOS 15 reaching its last beta cycle and the anticipation of iOS 16 on the horizon, here's why you should spend some free time this summer setting up Shortcuts.

Maybe this summer, I will attempt to figure this out... or at least begin to understand it all. Every time I read about shortcuts, I realize that I'm missing out on a really good thing. I have a couple that I got from somewhere and use somewhat regularly, but to be completely honest, I barely remember to use them, or where I even got them from! :cant-watch:

I’m still learning but find some of the shortcuts I make adds steps that I can do without

But I did learn a lot hanging in the Reddit r/shortcuts subreddit. A lot of great ideas in there

Nice reading this article I’m glad that things are getting stable in the past every time you update iOS most of the shortcuts break.

I have four that I use constantly and trying to debug them makes me want to give up

TEXT BOMB 3
ALIBI 2
Water reject 1
Microwave converter

The following number is the debugging times

Some of my older and new Shortcuts don't work. I get messages that tell me I have to do certain things. And I have no clue what it's talking about, or how to do it.

I did not/do not bother with shortcuts ! The idea of spending hours learning how to do something that I can do anyway, and now hear that if I did it’s not permanent !! is not very enticing. Perhaps someone can suggest a shortcut to me that (really) helps in the everyday use of ipads and iphones ?

I wish Apple would include Shortcuts "how-tos" in their Today at Apple sessions!

True. I couldn't begin to create one myself. Those I referred to were created by other people. Some still work, but others don't.

I created a shortcut that speaks my battery percentage whenever I plug in or unplug my iPad into or from a power source. I also have the shortcut on my iPhone. It is quite useful to me.

That sounds awesome!
