Hope you learned something new in this Shortcuts video! There are still much more complex shortcuts to be created, so let me know if you want to get even more advanced in the future!

[zamponha]

I would definitely watch a full shortcuts series lol

[jedwardoo]

Please make a series for Siri shortcuts! I’m still lost on how to do this. 😂

Hey Brandon,
I noticed your shortcut icons are smaller in the widget section of your phone. How did you edit the size of them?
I’m stuck with 8 total when you have like 24. I would love to know how to do this

Hi Brandon! Is there any way to disable notifications from certain apps using the Shortcuts? I can't find any info on this :( Would be epic to have a shortcut for "stop working" and disable Slack and Email notifications…

[ameyjoshi]

Thanks! Really did learn something, however how would you use Siri Shortcuts to retrieve information from safari/chrome? Eg. Currency Conversion rate?

[bijenkhakkhar]

Can you please share the link for your shortcuts so we can directly download it from safari? Thanks

Hey! I’ve been wondering if it’s possible to create location-based shortcuts - shortcuts that trigger when you arrive (or even leave) at a chosen location like the Reminders app does. What do you think?

[duael.hanafy]

thanks for your great explanation. Really helpful 👍🏻.
i need your help with something. i created an automation when apple car play is connected a menu with my music application appear to choose one of them. i just don't know how to dismiss this menu automatically after awhile if nothing is chosen 😅

Brandon came through with a wonderful tutorial. This is how it is done. Thank you Brandon!

[DemonessSapphire]

I tried to follow along, but when my Short Cut looks different from yours. The wordings, etc. I don't need these two particular shortcuts; but I am curious on how it works and such.
More please!

Hey Brandon, love your video! Anyway, I’m getting this error qr code no USABLE data found. What am I missing here?

[QuietlyPeaceful]

Thanks for such an informative video! Could you please make a video on how to turn on and off the location services, Brandon? I don't always need that on, as it drains my battery. Only need it for few times in a day like an Uber ride.

Thanks for the great tutorials. I do have a question about shortcuts and adding the play action. For example: open an app like Amazon Music playlist to auto-play after opening. I created a shortcut to open a specific Amazon Playlist, but it doesn't auto-play. I want to add an action to make the playlist start play after opening. How do I do that?

[ArcDyl]

Yo Brandon, I have a question!
I love the WiFi to QR, I use it in my work setting. I’m interested how you got the iOS configuration for how the iPhone reads an SSID & how I might write a shortcut for an Android to also be able to do this. Any knowledge on this would be great!

[blaxosxr]

Just a quick question. Could it be possible to make a shortcut that opens specific apps and does specific actions in each app?

[keivansadeghinezhad]

Hello. Thanks for video
I have a question about WIFI and QR code and it is : Is this QR code gives us home WIFI details or mobile Hotspot ?
If gives us home network, where it know username from?? We don't give any username while building shortcuts

[Casey-P-O]

can shortcuts open 2 apps at the same time? because i use my guitar amp modeling app and youtube for a backing track at the same time. the guitar app runs in the background. i just think it would be cool to have them start up together.

[kennethtape]

Brandon, being a newbie to shortcuts I’m just looking for a way to use shortcuts to send out a message by using Siri ?

[ShawnRutherford]

Is there a way to play a keynote file? I like all of the shortcut opportunities but it would be nice if you could call up apps to run files. Maybe I'm missing something.
