Bro, i am under utilizing the phone SO MUCH. You are a legend!

[JonathanKuhn]

I found myself saying “Woah”to each of these automations. Totally doing the night light one right now.

I have a shortcut that runs through an automation every morning at 5 AM that clears all alarms that are not active and then creates an alarm for five minutes prior to every calendar event. I have scheduled for that day for my selected calendars except for pending invitations and declined events.

Launching Reminders app after closing a specific app is an AMAZING idea!

Excellent content. Super clear, super helpful, and great production value. By my eye you should have 100k+ subscribers

This is a terrific video. Your shortcuts are both truly thoughtful and very thorough.

Just did the orientation lock automation. Amazing! Thank you sir.

Super impresive stuff ! This video just blew my mind! You gained a subscriber right on

I’m pretty savvy when it comes to automation and shortcuts to improve my phones behaviours, but honestly the auto-orientation lock one is brilliant. My biggest pet peeve with iPhones is the auto-orientation being way too sensitive

Cheers for the video 👍

[momartists]

I immediately subscribed after watching. Then I went to look for more automations on your channel but haven’t found any. Lol please make more. These shortcuts are underused mostly because the people that need them the most don’t focus long enough to work them out. Please help more 🙏🏼😂

Great video, very unique angle on shortcuts.

[zsoltmagyt]

Agree with other comments, nice work. I always knew shortcuts have great potentials but never got really a good idea for them. Thanks

[quartknee]

These are absolutely great shortcut automations!! 👏🏼

The best is the orientation mode on YouTube, it's great, I have one, when the phone connects to a wifi, the phone turn off the mobile data and turn on when you don't have WiFi

[hoffhousepetphotography]

Great and different shortcuts I've seen other places, actually useful

[nikong]

My shortcuts:
1. Plays my sleep playlist when I place my phone on the dock. I have this set so that it only runs at night
2. Stops the music when I take the phone off the dock in the morning
3. Gets the day’s weather forecast and intercoms it to my homepod with a personal greeting when I take my phone off the dock in the morning
4. Turns low power mode on/off based on battery percentage

[brittanykh]

This is literally the first video that had a shortcut I will actually use

Thanks for auto orientation for YouTube!
