Thanks so much for watching! Really appreciate each and everyone of you who decided to subscribe after watching my last few videos! See you all in the next one! 😊

This was so helpful. I was searching how to add my audio device switching shortcut to my Apple Watch. Headsets without multipoint connectivity are a small pain in the back.

the wifi one doesn't work? it says no usable data found

[dadfixdit]

Good video and some greta ideas. I always forget how powerful Shortcuts is! Thanks again!

[simplytechit]

Immediately subscribed after I watch your first video. The contents are just to on point! Great job. Awaiting for more

Great video !!
But the note shortcut opens a folder on the iPhone please give me a solution ….

[HollyKlingler]

This was great! I like that you walk us through actually creating them so that we can learn how to adjust as needed. I know shortcuts can get fairly complex, but it's fun to build and learn. Not many out there that do that in an approachable way. But I also like the backup of having them created for us, too (though ran into some issues like the Note app demanding my phone be unlocked to run fully...would like to know how it was built so maybe I can dig in and fix). In any case, more of these please (esp HomeKit Automation tricks)!

The Create Note and Web Browser shortcuts are dope! Thanks

Is it possible to activate a shortcut using assistivetouch ?

[davudbill]

Continue making videos like this. Your explanation and the amimations are awesome!

[Hidari]

Thank you for such amazing and helpful video, this is what i'm looking for! Can we use Siri to voice command these customized shorcuts on watch?

[lucky_EINS]

Your Videos are amazing, thank you so much! Even before watching your video I did create some own shortcuts on my watch for tracking my weight in the morning and add todos and notes to bear (Note taking app). Keep on your great work! :-)

I’m using the ultra 2 and have done the safari shortcut however it does not show on my watch and only has backtrack features on the shortcuts. I have followed every step! Anyone else have this and have found a workaround? Thanks for the video, useful otherwise.

[mohdkamona]

Amazing, but I need more of such kind a reviews plz

[Realinformer]

Seems it's impossible to do the contact shortcut now or possibly on Apple Watch Ultra, a step by step guide on how to write it would be nice....

[darksonic]

Great Video. Thanks.
Btw: Is it possible to change Watchfaces via shortcuts automatically?
So that it shows the homekit shortcut complication when I’m connected with my wifi network and something else, when I’m not?

[josephfortier]

Do one on time of day shortcuts for example workout during day and shortcuts for flashlight for the evening hours

[NicoScrugli]

Is there a way to get multiple email addresses and URL’s to send? I downloaded your iCloud and it is limited to only name # 1 email and address

[BarryJohnsonSC]

Thanks Vince! These are great examples. I’m running into a problem you might be able to help with. I’d like to be able to turn on the flashlight with a shortcut. Although I can tell Siri to do it, I can’t seem to make it work from a shortcut. It thinks my device doesn’t have a flashlight when I try. Are you able to turn it on from a shortcut? Thanks!
