Carolyn, between the three of us, Cait would be the person to advise.
I'm still trying to work out how I'll do it, since my version of iOS looks 
different than what's being described in both the Shortcuts book and the 
podcasts.

If I understand thins right, you're already using a Siri shortcut when you do 
something like tell Siri to set up a calendar event for you.
You're not having to manually open up the app and flick through all the 
different fields and fill in the fields yourself; instead you're giving siri 
verbal instructions and the iOS and Siri's AI capabilities are doing the 
legwork, opening up the app, and filling in the fields by using AI to work out 
what you're verbally saying.

iOS12 and up gives the iPhone user the ability to set up their own shortcuts 
instead of just having to rely on what Apple gives us. If I'm missing 
something, someone will fill in the gaps and correct my misstatements.

Can Siri Shortcuts be Made on iPhone 8?

2021-06-30 Thread dani pagador
Hi, Guys.
I have an iPhone 8 using iOS14.6. I know that Siri shortcuts were
introduced in iOS12, but I didn't learn to use them at that point, and
was using an SE.

I've pulled down all of the podcasts related to shortcuts and the ones
that go through What's New in iOS13 and 14. Everything sounds doable,
but I can't even begin to work things out beginning with the podcast
using iOS12, because there is no "Siri and shortcuts" heading. Under
Siri and Search there's only Ask Siri, and Siri Suggestions.

Ideas?

Thanks,
Dani

Hi list.

Is it possible to create a shortcut to turn on and off personal hotspot 
on my  phone?


If so how do i do this?

Thanks in advance for any help.

I’ve never paired a BrailleNote Touch so am not sure of the steps but 
with any braille display there are things you have to do on the 
display and on the phone.


Someone who has made lots of custom Shortcuts might have an idea.

Good luck,

A question about Siri shortcuts and what is possible

2020-08-25 Thread Kimberly
Hi all,

I don’t have any experience with creating or using shortcuts, so please for 
give me if this is an obvious question. Is it possible to create a shortcut 
that would accomplish the steps for pairing a braillenote touch with the iPhone?

I’ve poked around the shortcuts app but it isn’t making much sense to me.

Thanks for any info.

Siri suggestions are in the Gallery tab in the Shortcuts app, and the shortcuts 
you have created are in the Library tab.

Question on making calls from VOIP apps and Siri shortcuts

2019-09-26 Thread Cristobal Muñoz
Hello list,

So I haven’t really gotten into the whole shortcuts aspect of iOS, but I had
a question and was wondering with the new iOS 13.1 and the enhanced shortcut
capabilities if it were or if it’s been possible to initiate a call from a
VOIP app/service strictly with a voice command? I mainly use Hangouts or
Skype for business calls and would like to just speak out loud the number I
need to dial and have it go through one of these services as I don’t want
the recipient to see my actual cell number on their ID but rather my
business line.

So, can you create a shortcut for something like … hey Siri. Skype or
Hangouts XXX-XXX- or hey Siri. Skype or Hangouts business X, Y or Z? 

Not that it’s a huge deal to manually punch in a number, but sometimes I
have to make lots of calls and just being able to bark out the command
instead of going into Hangouts or Skype and entering the number would help
my workflow.

Thanks,

Teaching Siri how to pronounce a name is possible though I can't remember off

pronounce a name, even if I have already spoken it and it is an easy one, like 
Jim! A name like Dulce, on the other hand requires teaching Siri how to

Subject: Siri shortcuts

Really, I am totally stunned and infuriated that Siri can no longer in this 
higher version simply find the one Miles in my Contacts and either phone or 
text him. Siri never had trouble knowing before that texting meant a mobile 
number, and when phoning, if several numbers were in there, I would either 
specify or she or he would ask for clarification. Like I said before, I only 
have one Miles. 

Now I am going to see if I can get some info about how best 
Siri shortcuts works. It really is a pain in the butt to have to create 
shortcuts for some of the simplest things, especially when it comes to phoning 
and texting. I'd also like to delete the suggestions she already has in there 
for me because I have edited some of those contacts and don't want to see the 
old info in there.

My use of my iPhone is for the voice over menus, and the less 
gestures I have to make the better. I have had carpal tunnel in years past that 
was extremely debilitating, and having to take additional steps to do things, 
such as go into Contacts to call or message someone or have to create a 
shortcut with recording one, etc, seems to overcomplicate the beauty the phone 
has provided me in the past.

Sorry, but this is one where Siri truly has been dumbed down, not 
improved.

SIRI learns a bit over time so if you have two or three contacts with the name 
John and you almost always call just one of them SIRI may just call if you say 
call John. But for me SIRI has always asked which John, to use that example, I 
wanted to call if it was somebody I called less frequently and if I had several 
entries with that first name in my contacts. This of course only makes sense 
because how would you otherwise be able to call a different John if SIRI ever 
only called one of them and often SIRI doesn’t know simply things one would 
expect it to know so I don’t think reading one’s mind is going to be on the 
menu soon.

My guess is that after the update SIRI maybe reset or lost some of what it 
learned over time and is starting to built this up again from scratch.

Why the need for the extra step to get Seeri to recognize someone in my contact 
folder? I always used to simply say text and the name of the person, and almost 
always only used a first name. That worked. Using Seeri to make calls has been 
far less reliable. I guess I'll have to do the shortcut thing, but really... 
It's like Richard saying that the Company field doesn't work. Why put it there 
then?  

  All is pretty much worked out by now, except for the different voices. I

Hello Deidre,

 

Once you contact Miles, if you go to Siri settings and go to the shortcuts 
section, you should see a shortcut to contact him. You can assign a phrase to 
that shortcut like, "Call Miles," and use it to contact him in the future.

 

Have you deleted and reinstalled TuneIn yet? sounds like that should fix it.

 

VoiceOver only uses one voice throughout the phone. There are more options for 
voices in iOS 12 than 10, though, I think.

 

Best,

Anna

Siri shortcuts

2019-08-10 Thread 'deidre muccio' via VIPhone
Really, I am totally stunned and infuriated that Siri can no longer in this 
higher version simply find the one Miles in my Contacts and either phone or 
text him. Siri never had trouble knowing before that texting meant a mobile 
number, and when phoning, if several numbers were in there, I would either 
specify or she or he would ask for clarification. Like I said before, I only 
have one Miles. 

Now I am going to see if I can get some info about how best 
Siri shortcuts works. It really is a pain in the butt to have to create 
shortcuts for some of the simplest things, especially when it comes to phoning 
and texting. I'd also like to delete the suggestions she already has in there 
for me because I have edited some of those contacts and don't want to see the 
old info in there.

My use of my iPhone is for the voice over menus, and the less 
gestures I have to make the better. I have had carpal tunnel in years past that 
was extremely debilitating, and having to take additional steps to do things, 
such as go into Contacts to call or message someone or have to create a 
shortcut with recording one, etc, seems to overcomplicate the beauty the phone 
has provided me in the past.

Sorry, but this is one where Siri truly has been dumbed down, not 
improved.

SIRI learns a bit over time so if you have two or three contacts with the name 
John and you almost always call just one of them SIRI may just call if you say 
call John. But for me SIRI has always asked which John, to use that example, I 
wanted to call if it was somebody I called less frequently and if I had several 
entries with that first name in my contacts. This of course only makes sense 
because how would you otherwise be able to call a different John if SIRI ever 
only called one of them and often SIRI doesn’t know simply things one would 
expect it to know so I don’t think reading one’s mind is going to be on the 
menu soon.

My guess is that after the update SIRI maybe reset or lost some of what it 
learned over time and is starting to built this up again from scratch.

Why the need for the extra step to get Seeri to recognize someone in my contact 
folder? I always used to simply say text and the name of the person, and almost 
always only used a first name. That worked. Using Seeri to make calls has been 
far less reliable. I guess I'll have to do the shortcut thing, but really... 
It's like Richard saying that the Company field doesn't work. Why put it there 
then?  

  All is pretty much worked out by now, except for the different voices. I 
definitely have things like the reminders in the old voice but, Seeri has a new 
chosen voice since updating. I scanned through some settings after the updates 
to see what might have been switched on, but didn't look at 

seeri at all. I'll do that now.

Sometimes the orientation gets off if the battery is wearing out. That happened 
to me after about a year. The second battery is still doing well for about 18 
months now. However, Neato suggests replacing the battery after about 6 months 
“under normal use”- whatever that is 

Well, I know my Mom’s experience and maybe that is because one border collie 
probably produces a lot more fur than 3 cats, also I guess it depends on the 
size of the house and how much stuff you have. I have been there when my Mom 
had her Neato running and sometimes there is no explanation why it goes where 
it goes, here it seems to do the main open area of the living room in an 
efficient pattern only to suddenly drive off to vacuum in front of the couch 
where it drives back and forth more than it needs to and then it goes off into 
the kitchen or elsewhere only to come back in the living room and do some of 
what it did before all over again. Maybe it can’t get it’s orientation right, 
my parents house is a log home and the living room has a 16 or 18 foot vaulted 
ceiling, my Mom says often when it’s in her bedroom which at about 25 feet by 
15 feet is also large, it does a better job than in the rest of the house.

It really is easy to clean though. We have 3 cats and in their favorite hangout 
rooms, the fur does accumulate enough to dump the dirt bin and clean the 
brushes. However this is very quick and easy. the reason the fur fills the bin 
and roller so quickly is because the Neato does such an outstanding job of

“bump and turn” random motion of others. The mapping allows Neato to finish a

I have had the  D85- the model for pets- for about 3 years now. If an 
accessible connected model is going to be available shortly though- I’d 
certainly wait and get that one. I used the Bed, Bath and Beyond 20% off coupon 
to get $100 off and just paid $400 for mine. One of the best purchases we’ve 
ever made.

It takes only a couple of minutes to empty the bin and clean the brushes. This 
is one of the things I love about the Neato.

That is to bad.  I have read a lot of reviews about them and they are pretty 
favorable.  With having several cats and dogs, that was my complaint about the 
Roomba's I had as well.  Cleaning the brushes and roller took more time then 
the vacuuming did.

pee on it and walk  away!!

The claim of “easy to clean” is debatable. My Mom has one and while her border 
collie has now gone to doggie heaven, when she still had him she said she 
pretty much had to take the thing apart after at least every cleaning/use and 
completely clean out the brushes and everything or it would  not function 
properly. In fact, I used to want one of these but after her experience I 
decided these were maybe not quite ready for prime time.

Neato robotic vacuums set to get Siri Shortcuts in the fall By Amber Neely 
Friday, August 02, 2019, 04:49 am PT (07:49 am ET)

 

 

Neato, a company that specializes in robotic vacuums, has announced that it 
will be adding in support for Siri shortcuts in the fall. If you've got 
yourself a Neato vacuum, soon you'll be able to use Siri Shortcuts for remote 
control. Users will be able to issue voice commands to tell their Neato vacuum 
to begin a preset cleaning cycle, stop cleaning, or set up shortcuts to tell 
the vacuum to clean a specific area. Users will also be able to send the vacuum 
to the charging base via Siri Shortcut as well. If you're not the type to talk 
to your vacuum, the Neato robot vacuum will attempt to to learn when and where 
to sweep and offer lock-screen suggestions. There's no specific time frame for 
when this update will release. Neato has stated this update will roll out with 
a firmware update set to release this fall, likely following the release of iOS 
13 and macOS Catalina. All of Neato's current vacuums are set to get the 
update. Neato vacuums currently work with myriad services, including an Apple 
Watch app, Wear OS services, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and even through 
Facebook Messenger. Siri Shortcuts debuted in iOS 12 in 2018 . The system was 
built from Workflow, an app that Apple purchased in 2017 , Shortcuts delivers 
app and system control options through a drag-and-drop card UI, that can be 
invoked by Siri. AppleInsider reviewed the Neato Botvac Connected back in 2016, 
and found it to be one of the best robot vacuum cleaners available on the 
market. In addition to offering controls via iPhone and Apple Watch, it also 
supports complex scheduling functions, cleans very well, and is easy to empty 
and clean. .

It really is easy to clean though. We have 3 cats and in their favorite hangout 
rooms, the fur does accumulate enough to dump the dirt bin and clean the 
brushes. However this is very quick and easy. the reason the fur fills the bin 
and roller so quickly is because the Neato does such an outstanding job of 
sucking up pet hair. There is no comparison to the huge amount of hair picked 
up by our Neato with that picked up by our old powerful industrial class 
upright! We love the amazing mapping feature of our Neato also compared to the 
“bump and turn” random motion of others. The mapping allows Neato to finish a 
job in a fraction of the time of the round bounce-off-the-walls-and-furniture” 
type. And… it’s quiet!

I have the botac connected I really don't remember how I set it up now, but I 
think I needed cited help for the very original setup. mind you, the app was 
much less access a ball then. One time, when I got into a mess with it, and 
there was no one here with me, are used  be my eyes to sort it out. most of the 
time, I don't use the app I just press the button. in the past I have had 
several roombersand more recently the Neato, I find the Neato is the best! it 
is also cheaper and has very good mobility skills, better than mine… I don't 
know about the more recent roombers, but one thing  the neato does, if it  
can't get back to the doc, it goes back to the place where you set it off. So, 
you always know where it will be.

I also have a central vacuum system, plus a Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner.  The 
Roomba goes all over the house and if there is extra cleaning to do, it may do 
some areas twice, but most of the time it vacuums once.  I have a little bird 
which is a cockatiel and I often wonder what he thinks when he sees the thing 
go all over the living room!  Smiley.  For those of you who don’t know what a 
cockatiel is, he is a small parrot and if I must say, he’s 14 and really 
adorable!

Yup, I've been thinking about going the central vac route and even have a 
bid on what it will cost.  I'm thinking that is the way I will go.

  Exactly, we have a central vac system which is very powerful and getting 
out the hose and vacuuming our entire 1,100 square foot upstairs takes maybe 
10 or 15 minutes. Then maybe every 3 or 4 month I go downstairs, take off

Neato robotic vacuums set to get Siri Shortcuts in the fall By Amber 
Neely Friday, August 02, 2019, 04:49 am PT (07:49 am ET)





Neato, a company that specializes in robotic vacuums, has announced that 
it will be adding in support for Siri shortcuts in the fall. If you've got 
yourself a Neato vacuum, soon you'll be able to use Siri Shortcuts for 
remote control. Users will be able to issue voice commands to tell their 
Neato vacuum to begin a preset cleaning cycle, stop cleaning, or set up 
shortcuts to tell the vacuum to clean a specific area. Users will also be 
able to send the vacuum to the charging base via Siri Shortcut as well. If 
you're not the type to talk to your vacuum, the Neato robot vacuum will 
attempt to to learn when and where to sweep and offer lock-screen 
suggestions. There's no specific time frame for when this update will 
release. Neato has stated this update will roll out with a firmware update 
set to release this fall, likely following the release of iOS 13 and macOS 
Catalina. All of Neato's current vacuums are set to get the update. Neato 
vacuums currently work with myriad services, including an Apple Watch app, 
Wear OS services, Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and even through Facebook 
Messenger. Siri Shortcuts debuted in iOS 12 in 2018 . The system was built 
from Workflow, an app that Apple purchased in 2017 , Shortcuts delivers app 
and system control options through a drag-and-drop card UI, that can be 
invoked by Siri. AppleInsider reviewed the Neato Botvac Connected back in 
2016, and found it to be one of the best robot vacuum cleaners available on 
the market. In addition to offering controls via iPhone and Apple Watch, it 
also supports complex scheduling functions, cleans very well, and is easy to 
empty and clean. .

Siri shortcuts on HomePod

2019-04-09 Thread 'Harry Bell' via VIPhone
I’m using an iPhone XS and have Siri Shrtcuts set up to play various radio 
stations using the Receiver Radio app. I can issue the Shortcut command and 
Siri on my HomePod will hear and obey. All very cool. But if I then pick up my 
iPhone and start using other apps, including the Withings HealthMate app, the 
HomePod stops working, the radio stream stops. Also, if I go upstairs, when I 
come back down, the radio stream has stopped. Does a Siri Shortcut on the 
HomePod rely on the proximity of the iPhone and its exclusive attention in 
order to function?
Cheers
Harry

Re: Questions regarding Siri shortcuts

2019-03-12 Thread Terri Stimmel


On Hello Mark and Bill,

First of all, thank you to Bill for letting me know how Siri was 
spelled. I am not the greatest with spelling. And a lot of times, I tend 
to forget how words are spelled.

Thank you to Mark for letting me know that there are different ways to 
get to my shortcuts. I was not aware of this.

Well 1 of the shortcuts I created, was for the Google assistant. I 
installed it, because it seems better at some things. For instance, 
helping me get some cooking directions for things I cook pretty regularly.

The other shortcut I made was just kind of a test. I made a shortcut to 
record a voice demo. Both shortcuts seem to work well, from what i can tell.
I do hope this is helpful for someone else.

Thank you,

Apple's Siri Shortcuts help boost health and fitness routines, Mac Daily News

2019-03-03 Thread M. Taylor
MacDailyNews - Friday, March 1, 2019 at 9:46 AM
Apple's Siri Shortcuts help boost health and fitness routines
Starting and maintaining health and fitness routines gets even easier as
more apps offer Siri Shortcuts, joining the thousands that have integrated
shortcuts since their introduction with iOS 12.
Using powerful on-device intelligence, Siri Shortcuts help people get things
done faster across iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, HomePod, AirPods and CarPlay,
allowing them to easily access and use their favorite apps with just a tap
or by asking Siri.
Track Performance and Enhance Training
New Siri Shortcuts provide performance stats in real time and help make
training easier. Skiers hitting the slopes this season can use Siri
Shortcuts on the Snoww app to start a run (just say, "Hey Siri, let's ski!")
and get information about the speed, elevation drops and distance traveled
by simply raising their wrist to trigger Siri on Apple Watch ("Hey Siri, how
was my run?").
 
The Snoww app now integrates Siri Shortcuts, so skiers can start a run by
simply saying: "Hey Siri, let's ski!"
 
In HomeCourt's latest update, users can ask Siri to start a dribble workout
on iPad or iPhone. And with the Nike Run Club app, runners can use Siri to
start a run and get proactive suggestions based on running habits. 
Monitor Vitals
Third-party health devices are integrating Siri Shortcuts into their apps
for easier data retrieval and control, whether at home or on the go.
The QardioArm smart blood pressure monitor now lets users ask Siri to
remotely check in on family members. For example, people who care for an
aging parent can ask, "Hey Siri, what's mom's blood pressure?" and get that
information wherever they are, right on their iPhone or Apple Watch.
Build Healthy Habits
Whether watching your diet, getting enough sleep, breaking a bad habit or
remembering to take medications and vitamins, Siri Shortcuts help keep track
while on the go with any Apple device. With apps like Streaks, WaterMinder
and Yazio, users can track daily habits and see how long they can keep them
going by asking Siri to log almost any type of activity, such as hydration,
exercise, flossing, sugar and caffeine intake, even walking the dog.
 
Siri Shortcuts help users track daily habits on the Streaks app by asking
Siri to log activities from hydration and exercise to taking vitamins and
walking the dog.

 
With AutoSleep, Siri Shortcuts track sleep quality with Apple Watch or
iPhone, providing information when asked about hours slept, quality of
sleep, deep sleep, updates on reaching a sleep goal, latest bedtime and
more. 
With the Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, people with diabetes
can better track and manage blood glucose levels by simply asking Siri,
"What's my glucose level?"
Personalize Routines With the Shortcuts App
For those who want to go further in customizing a full fitness routine using
Siri, the Shortcuts app allows users to build their own multi-step shortcuts
that include actions from multiple apps to create powerful automations. For
example, users can create a shortcut telling Siri, "Heading to the gym."
Upon arrival, start the workout with an app like Nike Run Club, cue a
workout playlist and enable Do Not Disturb until leaving the gym. A how-to
for using the Shortcuts app can be found at
support.apple.com/guide/shortcuts.
Based on how customers use their devices, Siri will suggest simple, useful
shortcuts right when needed on the Lock screen or in Search. Additionally,
users can look for the "Add to Siri" button in the apps they use, or go to
Settings > Siri & Search > All Shortcuts to see which apps offer shortcuts
and to set a personal phrase to run them with.

app.

Siri Shortcuts: How to Automate Tasks on the iPhone via Voice or a Tap, USA Today

2019-02-28 Thread M. Taylor
Siri Shortcuts gets more useful: A shortcut guide to animating routines on
your iPhone
By Edward C. Baig, USA TODAY, 11:01 a.m. PST Feb. 28, 2019 

The Siri Shortcuts feature that Apple launched last fall as part of iOS 12
has always had oodles of potential. And for some of you this feature, which
lets you use your voice to automate a string of tasks or routines, may have
just gotten a whole lot more useful.
On Thursday, Apple announced a fresh set of integrated Siri Shortcuts, which
are just now available or coming soon, and which the company says joins the
thousands of other apps that already take advantage of the feature. American
Airlines and Airbnb join existing app partners such as Marriott's Bonvoy,
Pandora, Waze and The Weather Channel. 

The basic idea behind the Shortcuts feature is that Siri can learn your app
preferences and routines over a period of time to suggest shortcuts that can
streamline tasks or commands on your iPhone or iPad, and in more limited
instances on the Apple Watch, HomePod or AirPods. (The feature doesn't work
with Macs or on Apple TV, despite Siri's presence on the hardware.)

Shortcuts work with the apps you already have on your devices. Some
suggested shortcuts will appear automatically on the lock screen of your
device or when you do a search, recommending, right then and there, for
example, to call or message your spouse. You tap the button to activate the
particular shortcut that shows up. You can initiate other shortcuts yourself
by uttering a short designated phrase out loud.
What's more, though fewer of you are likely to do so, you can also fetch the
Apple Shortcuts app for free in the App Store and create your own custom
shortcuts built around a personalized voice phrase you record.
The Amazon smart home: From Echo to Ring doorbell and Fire TV, are you
comfortable with Amazon controlling your smart home?
Fortnite dip: Has 'Fortnite' peaked? As season 8 arrives, research suggests
revenue dipped in January
Apple is seeking ways to make Siri more helpful, especially in light of the
fact that many pundits believe that its digital assistant lags Amazon's
Alexa and the Google Assistant, both of which also let you create customized
routines via voice, often through Echo or Google Home smart speakers.
Samsung has similar designs with the Quick Commands feature associated with
its Bixby assistant. 
Among the newly announced Siri Shortcuts is one from American Airlines that
will let you summon flight updates by voice ("Hey Siri, flight update").
Such updates are contextual: Before leaving your house, you can get the
drive time to the airport along with a map. After checking in, you'll
receive an updated flight status with a map of the terminal showing the gate
location, walking time to that gate and boarding time. 

Another new shortcut, from Merriam Webster Dictionary, will let you ask Siri
for the word of the day.
A third new shortcut, from the Caviar local food delivery app, responds to
commands such as "Hey Siri, order my usual pizza" or "Hey Siri, Caviar order
status."
Some of the Apple shortcuts integrate with some of your connected smart home
appliances  For example, shortcuts tied to the Drop and Smarter apps will
let you control coffee makers by voice. 
Others shortcuts are meant to work with health devices you may use in
conjunction with the iPhone. The Dexcom Continuous Glucose Monitoring
System, for example, launched a shortcut that enables diabetics better
manage glucose levels through their app ("Hey Siri, what's my blood
glucose?").
Coming soon is a shortcut for ReSound hearing aids that will enable a person
who is hard of hearing change the device settings, depending on the
environment ("Hey Siri, restaurant mode.")
Building your own shortcuts
To see which of your favorite apps have shortcut integrations, on your
iPhone, visit Settings > Siri & Search > All Shortcuts.
To build your own shortcut, launch the Shortcuts app, and choose actions or
building blocks, which are each of the basic steps that will make up your
app. Apple presents a number of suggestions inside the app. For example, if
you want to add a shortcut called Log Workout in conjunction with the Health
app on your phone, you'd choose the type of activity (running, swimming,
etc.), the duration, the calories burned or distance. You can then record
the personalized phrase that would tell Siri to run the shortcut. 
Inside the app you'll also find a Gallery of premade Shortcuts that you
might take advantage of.  Among the Morning Routine options, you'll see, are
shortcuts that let you know when to leave home so you won't be late for
work, as well as a brushing teeth timer that will make you sure you're at it
for a full two minutes.

Since shortcuts can be shared, you might want to pass that one along to your
kids.

Hi Anna,

That is interesting, I have a few shortcuts as well, my problem is that when I 
want to use them half the time I forgot what I recorded as a phrase to trigger 
them!
I'll have to do some testing and see if they don't work on my new iPhone 8

Hi Sieghard,

I rolled the iPad back to iOS 12.1 on Tuesday to see if I would still have the 
problem with Siri shortcuts. I didn't. So on Wednesday when iOS 12.1.1 came 
out, I installed it on the iPad and restored my backup, and Siri shortcuts 
still worked. They weren't working on my phone, so I decided to remove the

Re: Siri Shortcuts broken in 12.1

2018-12-07 Thread Anna Dresner
Hi Sieghard,

I rolled the iPad back to iOS 12.1 on Tuesday to see if I would still have the 
problem with Siri shortcuts. I didn't. So on Wednesday when iOS 12.1.1 came 
out, I installed it on the iPad and restored my backup, and Siri shortcuts 
still worked. They weren't working on my phone, so I decided to remove the 
provisioning profile and load iOS 12.1.1 and see if the shortcuts problem would 
go away. It did. I probably wouldn't have deleted the provisioning profile 
except that I really wanted to fix the shortcuts problem.

Best,
Anna

Hi Anna,

Do you mean you deleted the provisioning profile and went back to regular iOS

RE: Siri shortcuts working again on my iPhone 7 Plus

2018-12-06 Thread Sieghard Weitzel
Mary,

Most likely we'll hear nothing about this, but a lot of SIRI commands do 
require the cloud which also means Apple servers. How often has something 
strange been going on with the App Store or SIRI or other services from other 
companies which may simply have been a temporary glitch with their systems.

Re: Siri Shortcuts broken in 12.1

2018-12-06 Thread Richard Turner
First, given the list of bugs, it is almost like they rebuilt the app.
I have some My Tuner Radio shortcuts working. I have one Pandora shortcut 
working and one that doesn't. They all worked prior to this month.
So, maybe they will all work eventually, or not. It almost isn't worth it.

Well, this is really weird. I now have Shortcuts working on one device and not 
on the other. Go figure. As of this morning, they weren’t working at all. But I 
just tried them again on my iPhone XR, and to my surprise they worked. But no

RE: iOS 12.1 did not fix the broken Siri shortcuts

2018-12-05 Thread kellmaster1
I have not updated, but I recently created a shortcut to open a shared grocery 
list that lives in Dropbox only to find that while I could run it from the 
shortcuts app I could not successfully start it with Siri.  All last week I 
could not use this shortcut with Siri. I restarted my phone, did a hard reset 
and still no joy. Thinking that maybe the problem is with the Shortcuts app I 
enabled Siri Shortcuts for the Google assistant in settings when it became 
possible to do so and finding that this actually worked using Siri I tried my 
own shortcut again  and what do you know! My shortcut mysteriously worked and 
has been working  ever sense.
Unfortunately, this does not suggest any particular conclusion to me. Are all 
shortcuts broken or just the ones people have created with the Shortcuts app?
Do we have to have internet connectivity to run shortcuts using Siri?
Could there be a particular app in common on the phones of everyone 
experiencing the problem? How likely is something like that to even be part of 
the problem given how sandboxed apple's environment is?
Everyone experiencing the problem must have  something in common, we just have 
to figure out what it is unless it's  something that's happening on the server 
side of things.
Just looking for patterns and hoping my message might give someone an idea. If 
you made it this far, thanks for reading and if something that might lead to a 
solution occurs to you please post!

iOS 12.1 did not fix the broken Siri shortcuts

Somebody on one of these lists reported that the problem with Siri shortcuts 
that stopped working has been fixed in iOS 12.1. I updated both of my devices 
and rebooted both of them. Siri shortcuts are still universally broken for me. 
I really wish Apple could find out what is causing this problem. The best 
feature of iOS 12 has just been rendered useless for me.

Re: Siri Shortcuts broken in 12.1

2018-12-05 Thread Anna Dresner
Hi Jen and all,

I updated my iPhone that was running beta software to 12.1.1, and Siri 
shortcuts are now working fine. So I would suggest trying that.

Best,
Anna

Re: Siri Shortcuts broken in 12.1

2018-12-04 Thread Anna Dresner
Hi everyone,

I have been running a beta on my phone for quite a while, and shortcuts worked 
fine until I tried to use them last Friday, at which point I had the same 
problem as you. I found that I had the same problem with my iPad that was 
running the beta, but not with my 5s which wasn't. So I assumed it was a beta 
issue until I heard from you. I called Apple Accessibility, and the guy I spoke 
with was great. He had me try Siri with Wi-Fi turned off and then reset network 
settings. None of that helped. He also tried accessing a shortcut with Siri on 
his device with VoiceOver off and with VoiceOver on, and everything worked 
normally both times. So he asked me to roll a device back to iOS 12.1. I did 
that with my iPad, and Siri shortcuts worked normally. I would suggest calling 
Apple Accessibility and hoping you won't get the person Richard got. Most 
people there should be able to walk you through sending in the diagnostic 
information they need to figure out what's going on. I'm also going to report 
it as a beta bug and will mention that I know of people running iOS 12.1 who 
are having the problem.

Best,
Anna

Gerardo,
Part of me thinks it is about time something worked better outside the United 
States, since we usually get the better end of the deal; while part of me is 
really ticked that Apple messed this up.
I hope it continues to work for you.

Re: Siri Shortcuts broken in 12.1

2018-12-04 Thread Richard Turner
Mary,
I'm not sure it is either exactly. The Shortcuts app was updated 4 weeks ago 
according to the app store.
So, since both iOS 12.1 and the app were updated longer ago than yesterday, 
maybe it is a server issue with Siri or something really odd. I would encourage 
everyone to write Apple since clearly, they are clueless that something has 
gone very wrong.

Re: Siri Shortcuts broken in 12.1

2018-12-04 Thread Jim Fettgather
I believe that it is an update to the Shortcuts app itself, that is
why Siri shortcuts are broken, and it is very uncool.  So, I do not
think that it is the version of IOS, but rather, the shortcuts app
that is broken

Hi richard,
Well mine don’t work either. But it doesn’t seem to be dependent on voiceover 
being off or on. And it didn’t start with iOS 12.1, since they did work after I 
updated. Only yesterday, they stopped. So I don’t know what it is. But I don’t 
think it’s the latest iOS, and it isn’t voiceover either, because if I turn 
voiceover off and try to do a shortcut, it doesn’t work. Not that we shouldn’t 
write Apple. I can’t believe this problem has it been all over the tech press. 
It’s really annoying.

Siri Shortcuts broken in 12.1

2018-12-04 Thread Richard Turner
A client who has an iPhone x told me her Siri Shortcuts have stopped working 
since iOS 12.1.
She demonstrated that they have indeed stopped working. Even after rerecording 
a phrase.
I tested some on my iPhone SE and on my work iPhone 8 plus, with the same bad 
results.

They worked fine in iOS 12. 
I called Apple Accessibility, and even after explaining that these are ones we 
created in Siri and had used before, he treated us like ignorant people and 
insisted they work. But, when I asked if he had tried it with VoiceOver, he 
ignored me. 
I'm writing Apple Accessibility and would encourage anyone else who are 
experiencing this issue write them as well. If you found a work around, please 
share.

Hi Peggy,

Find the Siri shortcut for your reading list. It's either in the short group 
of Siri shortcuts at the beginning of that section of Siri Settings, or 
under Voice Dream Reader in All Shortcuts. Then assign a phrase to it, like 
"Play Voice Dream Reading List." then when you activate the shortcut, the 
reading list will play, starting with the first item on the list.


BARD Mobile hasn't added Siri shortcuts yet, so while you can ask Siri to 
open it, as you always have, there's no new Siri functionality.

goes into another app on my phone right now it will not play the book no matter 
what I seem to do do you have any other suggestions?

Re: Siri shortcuts not syncing over to my iPad mini two

2018-09-24 Thread Michael Doise
Hi, I do not believe that Siri shortcuts sync through iCloud. At least 
shortcuts in the Shortcuts app do not.

Siri shortcuts not syncing over to my iPad mini two

2018-09-24 Thread Mary Otten
I had the idea that if I had some Siri shortcuts activated on my iPhone, they 
would be activated also on my iPad, assuming that they were relevant. For 
instance, I do have a shortcut for calling somebody on my phone. That doesn’t 
seem relevant to the iPad, since it’s not a phone. However, I have another 
shortcut that relates to mailing to somebody, and several for an app called my 
radio tuner pro. The apps are installed and up to date on my iPad. Nothing has 
come across. I know that short cuts are available in these apps, the mail app 
and myTuner Pro. But nothing that I have made active on my phone by giving a 
shortcut Siri activation word, none of those have come across. What am I 
missing?

Hi, yes. Workflow was rebranded. Now it is Siri shortcuts. All I had to do was 
install the update from workflow.

I had a little trouble finding it. When I did find it, I already had it on my 
Phone. Was Workflow rebranded by any chance? Because I did not download it 
intentionally while running IOS 11.4.1. However, I did have Workflow on my 
iPhone 8+.

Re: Siri Shortcuts on Spotify?

2018-09-16 Thread Anna Dresner
Hi,

Siri suggests shortcuts based on things you've done recently, and apps can 
provide shortcuts. There's also a Shortcuts app that you can use to create 
shortcuts that perform a group of tasks based on your voice commands. This app 
is the latest iteration of an app called Workflow. It isn't built into iOS 12, 
but I would imagine it will be available in the App Store tomorrow.

Hi Jessica,

That kind of shortcut will be handled in the Shortcuts app, and yes, it should 
be possible to do what you suggest.

Hi,
Can shortcuts have multiple steps? for example, I could create a "work" 
shorcut, that would text specific people to notify them that I'm headed in 
their direction, and start a podcast at the same time?

Re: Siri Shortcuts on Spotify?

2018-09-16 Thread Anna Dresner
Hi Gera and all,

First, make sure to update your apps and check the description of what's new. 
If Spotify has Siri shortcuts, they'll probably say so in that description.

Next, open Siri settings, and choose All Shortcuts. Each app that has shortcuts 
is listed and is preceded by a heading. find the app you want to use, Spotify 
in this case. Any possible shortcuts are listed below the heading. Double-tap 
the one you're interested in. You'll find a Start Recording button. Double-tap 
it, and say the phrase you want to use to activate the shortcut. Recording will 
stop soon after you stop speaking. Now the shortcut screen shows the phrase you 
spoke along with a Re-record Phrase button you can use if it got it wrong.

>From now on, to activate your shortcut, activate Siri and speak the phrase.

Best,
Anna

Sorry didn't mean to write you privately. I guess just hitting reply

app but renamed to Siri Shortcuts.

Pandora adds Siri Shortcuts support ahead of iOS 12, teases new 
Apple Watch app

9to5Mac  /  Chance Miller

Ahead of the public release of iOS 12 on Monday 
<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2F9to5mac.com%2F2018%2F09%2F12%2Fios-12-release-date%2F=02%7C01%7C%7C10c660c18fba4de0237508d61b5a8046%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435%7C1%7C0%7C636726472838257199=pfJIEM3d5VF1b5ZRXcnw4aHx5UhZdDXU1tYzBL08UR8%3D=0>, 
Pandora for iOS has been updated with a handful of new features. 
The update brings Siri Shortcuts support, customizable app icons, 
and more.


First spotted by /AllThingsHow 
<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fallthings.how%2Fpandora-music-adds-support-for-ios-12-siri-shortcuts-and-more%2F=02%7C01%7C%7C10c660c18fba4de0237508d61b5a8046%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435%7C1%7C0%7C636726472838257199=Z1q3SfsSY2U4ELN7IUdnzMSOlGEJ64WZql4bnzYuuAs%3D=0>/, 
today’s update brings deep Siri integration to Pandora. For 
instance, you can now use Siri  Shortcuts to control your favorite 
Pandora stations, albums, and playlists. Additionally, Pandora 
explains that Siri will “learn as you listen” and make suggestions 
with Pandora stations it thinks you might like.


Pandora is also adding support for customizable app icons. 
Unfortunately, the only options you have are a wide selection of 
“P” icons.


Last but certainly not least, Pandora teases that ti has a “freshly 
designed, built-from-the-ground-up Apple Watch app” on the way 
soon. While it doesn’t offer specific details, Pandora says it is 
putting the “final touches” on the app and will share more “soon.”


Here’s the complete change log for today’s update:

  * We’re thrilled to support all the great new features of iOS
12 including Siri Shortcuts!
  * Siri will learn as you listen and suggest your favorite
Pandora stations. And of course, Pandora Premium is fully
supported, so you’ll see your collected albums and
playlists too.
  * Ever wish you could ask Siri to play your favorite station?
Now you can! Just head over to Settings within the Pandora
app and tap “Add to Siri.” From there, choose specific
stations, albums, or playlists, record a custom phrase,
then next time you want to hear it, all you have to do is
ask Siri.
  * Pandora is bringing personalization a step further — to the
app icon itself. Make Pandora yours by choosing from a
selection of P app icons. Go to Settings, and choose the
new “Change App Icon” option.
  * One more thing. We’re putting the final touches on our
freshly-designed, built-from-the-ground-up Apple Watch app.
We can’t wait to share that with you very soon.

Pandora is a free download on the App Store

appear in the Siri and Search settings. Apparently, after iOS 12 is released on 
Monday, there will be a Shortcut app that may provide other shortcuts when 
developers add that option to their apps.

Thanks Mary. It works quite well.
It looks like once you have listened to something, you will find an option in 
Siri to add a shortcut phrase.

Pandora adds Siri Shortcuts support ahead of iOS 12, teases new Apple Watch app

Ahead of the public release of iOS 12 on 
Monday<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2F9to5mac.com%2F2018%2F09%2F12%2Fios-12-release-date%2F=02%7C01%7C%7C10c660c18fba4de0237508d61b5a8046%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435%7C1%7C0%7C636726472838257199=pfJIEM3d5VF1b5ZRXcnw4aHx5UhZdDXU1tYzBL08UR8%3D=0>,
 Pandora for iOS has been updated with a handful of new features. The update 
brings Siri Shortcuts support, customizable app icons, and more.

First spotted by 
AllThingsHow<https://eur01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fallthings.how%2Fpandora-music-adds-support-for-ios-12-siri-shortcuts-and-more%2F=02%7C01%7C%7C10c660c18fba4de0237508d61b5a8046%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435%7C1%7C0%7C636726472838257199=Z1q3SfsSY2U4ELN7IUdnzMSOlGEJ64WZql4bnzYuuAs%3D=0>,
 today’s update brings deep Siri integration to Pandora. For instance, you can 
now use Siri  Shortcuts to control your favorite Pandora stations, albums, and 
playlists. Additionally, Pandora explains that Siri will “learn as you listen” 
and make suggestions with Pandora stations it thinks you might like.

Pandora is also adding support for customizable app icons. Unfortunately, the 
only options you have are a wide selection of “P” icons.

Last but certainly not least, Pandora teases that ti has a “freshly designed, 
built-from-the-ground-up Apple Watch app” on the way soon. While it doesn’t 
offer specific details, Pandora says it is putting the “final touches” on the 
app and will share more “soon.”

Here’s the complete change log for today’s update:

  *   We’re thrilled to support all the great new features of iOS 12 including 
Siri Shortcuts!
  *   Siri will learn as you listen and suggest your favorite Pandora stations. 
And of course, Pandora Premium is fully supported, so you’ll see your collected 
albums and playlists too.
  *   Ever wish you could ask Siri to play your favorite station? Now you can! 
Just head over to Settings within the Pandora app and tap “Add to Siri.” From 
there, choose specific stations, albums, or playlists, record a custom phrase, 
then next time you want to hear it, all you have to do is ask Siri.
  *   Pandora is bringing personalization a step further — to the app icon 
itself. Make Pandora yours by choosing from a selection of P app icons. Go to 
Settings, and choose the new “Change App Icon” option.
  *   One more thing. We’re putting the final touches on our freshly-designed, 
built-from-the-ground-up Apple Watch app. We can’t wait to share that with you 
very soon.

Siri Shortcuts on Spotify?

2018-09-15 Thread Gerardo Corripio
In the Pandora Thread, I understood one of you guys mentioned Spotify and Siri 
shortcuts? Could you guys kind of explain how it’ll work, so when I get iOS12 
Monday I can debut this feature? This is getting exciting! I’ve always wanted 
to tell siri “Play Oasis Familiar to Million on Spotify” is this kind of what 
will be done via the Siri shortcuts?

Thanks Mary. It works quite well.
