As a iOS lunatic like me can understand all of the deep things now ios can do if one wants to … i can see u have great level of understanding of ios features and the way u explain is awesome..

But i can say for daily needs in these fast paced world one has hardly any time for all this .

I loved covid times 😅btw

Thanks for sharing. Blessings on your day.

Thank you for this video! These options are phenomenal, and I had no idea about them til you taught me here :)

[paulsmall]

Another amazing video Stephen thank you!! Btw, typing this on my I phone 15 plus.

I didnt understand anything, let me grab some coffee and come back 😂

4:35 I agree with that. It can easily become an issue if one is not wary of a sneaky person’s attempt

Is it possible to make a shortcut that when clicked opens a specific Spotify playlist?

[apontel]

you can also pinch with three fingers to copy/paste

Great video!! Could you make an automation so that when my school bus leaves the bus stop in the morning at around 6:45-7am every weekday, it send a text to my friend saying “on the bus!”?

i love ios but cant buy it still i love these videos for the day i can finally buy one😭😭

The Huawei thing is such a gimmick. I'm struggling to think why or when the average person would actually use that.

[ashishreddy]

I am using vocal shortcuts but each day I have to turn it off and on, so that it works. For a day, it works fine.

I'm new to ios... is there a way via shortcuts to prevent or automatically delete my own pictures I send directly from inside messages? Most of the times I just want to send a quick snapshot and it's nothing I want to keep

[Isac]

Hi!

I have a question regarding the AirDrop shortcut. I combined it with "get current app" so that it only runs when in the Photos app.

For some reason it keeps sending two versions of the same picture. Do you have any idea why this is? Airdropped from iPhone to Macbook.

Huawei needs headlines and attention, hence all of us here know that this is not in the slightest practical.
“Dude, I want this meme”
“Sure, grab it, then drop it on your phone”
“???”

No East way, Some Android devices are actually more advanced and superior to iPhones, unfortunately.
