Since Apple announced the launch of the Shortcuts application, Shortcuts in Spanish, many users have shown a special interest in this application, an application that, thanks to the user community, offers us a large number of shortcuts, never better said, for perform tasks that otherwise require several independent actions with the device.
On the Internet, we have at our disposal various web pages and Telegram channels, where we can find a large number of these shortcuts already created, shortcuts that thanks to the new update that the application has received, will be expanded and / or modified to provide them with greater functionality. Here are the details of the new update for Shortcuts for iOS.
What's new in version 2.1
- Use the most current weather in your shortcuts with the new actions “Get current weather” and “Get weather forecast”.
- Set alarms and timers with the new actions "Create alarm", "Activate or deactivate alarm" and "Start timer".
- Convert between various units with the new Measure and Convert Measure actions.
- Get the latest set of imported photos from the Photos app with the “Get Latest Import” action.
- When running a shortcut from HomePod using Siri, content will now automatically play from HomePod via AirPlay.
In particular, you see that such an app makes a lot more sense on macOS than on iOS. If it ever becomes available it would be like an evolution of Automator for Mac, but everything seems to indicate that for now, Automator will remain the only method at our disposal to be able to automate the tasks that we usually carry out and that in most cases allow us to save a great deal of time.
