Best iPhone Shortcuts | How They Work & 2 Amazing Amazon Siri Shortcuts

Apple experts tell you about Siri shortcuts and show you a couple of their favorites. Siri Shortcuts are versatile, customizable, and can automate a variety of tasks.

Two of the best iPhone shortcuts involve automating Amazon searches.

First is the Amazon Search shortcut, which searches Amazon based on a word or phrase you say to Siri.

Second is the Amazon Scan shortcut, which allows you to scan a barcode and see the product on Amazon.

i’ve been limping along with shortcuts for a long time this is great thank you.

It would have helped to know what to do if the Allow Untrusted Shortcuts is ghosted & what to do if the hold down the power button is turned off like mine was.

Hey David and Daivd. I've been trying this for a while and came across this video. I'm trying to automate a shortcut to trigger anytime I receive a certain keyword from anyone in my phone book. Any way you can help?? Thanks :)

For some reason, I’m not able to select “allow untrusted shortcuts” on my phone. I have an IPhone 10XS running 13.6.1

I don't have "allow untrusted shortcuts" option. I have Private Sharing, then Advanced, then Legal Notices. Any ideas?

What to do when my iPhone says I am out of space, maximum is 5 GB?

on the subject of Siri is it possible from across the room to differentiate which Siri you’re talking to? I mean if I say Siri start a timer for 15 minutes and it goes off and my hands are unavailable for the moment & I try and say “Siri turn off timer” frequently between my iPhone and my iPad one will keep sounding the timer alert and the other one keeps telling me that all my timers are off. if I want to say Siri where are you I want to be able to select which Siri I’m talking to. I tried to give them different voices so at least I would know which one was responding but because of the synchronization features I just end up changing the voice back-and-forth and they both have the same voice which ever the last one that I’ve chosen is.

Great channel Davids! Might be stupid questions but I’m in Australia and it would be better (obviously) if I buy from the Aussie site. Shipping and exchange rates would be a NIGHTMARE. Do you have affiliation with other country’s amazon store and (yes finally my questions) does your shortcut and your channel’s affiliation work with them, ie Australia in particular?
Keep up the great work guys!

[jimpritchard]

You say see it below but I see nothing. Searched store and cannot find these two shortcuts?

[JanetOrt]

I have the shortcut setting but it won't let me allow untrusted shortcuts. Now what? I have an iphone 11.

[gadidavis]

I use google voice on my iphone 11. Does siri work better ths google voice?

Hey guys, thanks for the tip. Would you guys be able to show me or share with me if you have as to how I can create a shortcut to trigger a command with Alexa? What I am trying to do is if my iPhone is near a particular Wi-Fi it would trigger Alexa to turn on all the lights. I don’t know if this is doable, but I am hopeful.
