This is a new feature, and confusing to many, thus it should be discussed, but perhaps the subject line should be changed to reflect the topic being discussed.
Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Christopher Chaltain To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, September 19, 2018 4:38 PM Subject: Re: Accessing all actions in Shortcuts app. Obviously the moderator has the last say, but since this thread is about the Shortcuts app and the question is about the Shortcuts app, it doesn't seem to be either off topic or hijacking a thread. BTW, you can find out more with a web search and reading up on the app in the App Store at https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/shortcuts/id915249334?mt=8&ign-mpt=uo%3D2 Description Siri Shortcuts deliver a quick way to get things done with your apps with just a tap or by asking Siri. The Shortcuts app enables you to create personal shortcuts with multiple steps from your favorite apps. Start from hundreds of examples in the Gallery or drag and drop to create your own. Shortcuts includes over 300 built-in actions and works with many of your favorite apps including Contacts, Calendar, Maps, Music, Photos, Camera, Reminders, Safari, Health as well as any app that supports Siri Shortcuts. Use the Shortcuts app to: * Get directions home, send your ETA and start listening to the news, just by asking Siri * Add a home screen icon that calls a loved one * Make animated GIFs * Make PDFs from Safari or any app with a share sheet * Get directions to the nearest coffee shop in one tap * Tweet the song you're listening to * Get all of the images on a web page * Send a message including the last screenshot you took * And so much more... Shortcuts can be launched from the Today widget, from Search or by asking Siri. You can even add an app icon to your home screen for your favorite Shortcuts. Shortcuts opens up incredible possibilities to automate things you do regularly on your iPhone and iPad.

If it is truly off topic or hijacking, then I would expect a message from the moderator to stay on topic.
