I saw a shortcut that makes you choose from a list items with an image and a description, https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/b354569a99e142858984d44f50d1df39 Can someone please explain me how to do so?

I am having a hard time getting social media recommendations which are US based. I am going to be in Argentina for a couple of months. Is there any shortcut which can spoof of GPS location? Any Macbook or Iphone shortcuts which will help me with this?

Any help is appreciated, it was working fine for the first couple of days. I have an automation set for it to go off at 8am everyday

Does anyone out there use a planning software to plan out the flow of their shortcuts? I find when mine get complicated it is difficult to rearrange things when I realize something won’t work and I find myself frustrated because I realize “oh these 35 actions all need to be in a “If” statement” , I am hoping there is a blueprinting software out there that is easy to use to plan shortcuts.

Bonus points if someone has built a template for it with Shortcut actions listed or if I can at least make a template of them.

I think it would also be helpful for when I need to edit a shortcut that I haven’t touched in months or years and want an overview of what I did. Thanks.

INTRODUCTION

The Files app on iOS, along with most media players, does not show the total duration of multiple selected audio files. This shortcut addresses that limitation by providing iOS users with the total duration in 'hours:minutes:seconds', as well as displaying the number of files selected and the duration of each individual file.

HOW TO USE

1. Select multiple audio files from the Files app or any media player/file manager app that supports sharing via the share sheet.

2. Tap the "Share" button to open the share sheet.

3. Choose the "Total Duration for Audio Files" shortcut from the share sheet. After selecting the shortcut, it will display detailed information:

   • Total Duration: The total duration of the selected files.

   • File Count: The number of files selected.

   • File Details: A list of these files with their respective durations.

hello! i have a shortcut i downloaded which sends ceasefire emails daily at 9 am. would there be a way to have a shortcut do my daily click for me? it would have to open a url and then click on a spot on the page. is this possible?

Does anyone use shortcuts to easily adjust photo editing setting using a predetermined set/s of editing filters/setting?

I have constructed a ‘get contents’ action in Shortcuts to call a large language model API via an HTTP request action, but I encounter an error saying the request has timed out, causing the shortcut to stop. It seems that the action stops because it takes a considerable amount of time for the results to return from the HTTP request. How can I avoid this interruption and ensure the action runs to completion? Placing a ‘wait’ action before and after this action didn’t seem to have much effect. I’ve heard that the HTTP request action times out with an error if more than 25 seconds pass, but how many seconds does it actually take? I hope that future updates will extend the waiting time.

Turns on mobile data for a specific(choosed) time and then turns off after x(choosed) time.

I don’t know what has happened. Everything was working fine until later in the day. I managed to take a screenshot.

Hi,

Me and my girlfriend both have a car. We like to split everything 50/50 (roughly), which means we use my car for certain things/days and then use her car the next week or so. Lately it's been a bit hard to track and we get lost about who rode when or who rode a lot of km's that day/week etc. Most of the time it's a route we do daily/weekly or monthly (visit family, groceries,..) so a shortcut with templates would be nice.

So I was looking for a shortcut that when I click it, it:

• Asks who's riding this time

• Asks what route me/she is taking (this is the template I was talking about - the options should have an integrated number in the code, like groceries is 5km's etc, but also an extra option to insert my own number (km's) in if we drive somewhere we've never been to and I don't already have a template for)

• A pop up field that shows me how many km's me or my girlfriend have ridden vs each other. Or the total km's we are apart from each other. Like if my girlfriend has ridden more lately it says +240km's or something or me -240km's. We start from 0-0 km's and if let's say it the pop up says Me -240km's then it's time for me to use my car a couple of days so it even's out a bit more again to 0-0.

I'm not sure if I explained everything correctly, english isn't my native language.

Thanks already!!

Kind regards

I'm having a hell of a time with this... it seems like it would be rather straightforward.

Hi all, i just started playing around with shortcuts and automations (with all the info I get here! Thanks so much!)

I’ve set one about opening a game app and will auto set to DND mode, however, the DND would sync to my Apple Watch which i do not want to.

I wanna mute notifications on phone while I’m playing but I can still peek incoming notifications on Apple Watch to make sure nothing urgent comes in

Thanks!!

Let's say I pay for something using Apple Pay for £10. Is it possible to use £10 as an input to a shortcut?

Hi, is it possible to set up a reminder which goes off every 30 consecutive minutes for which the screen is awake which prompts me to look away from the screen or put phone down?

Some of my shortcuts keep constantly freezing up. Daily occurrence at the moment. I'll tap on a shortcut, and it doesn't run. Tap another time, still doesn't run. Happens with home screen shortcuts, but now also with shortcuts in the Widgets pane to the left.

If one shortcut freezes up, then almost all of the others freeze up.

I have to reboot my phone every time, which is a complete waste of time (and kind of defeats the purpose of using Shortcuts in the first place).

(Was happening with previous version of iOS. Updated iOS, but still happening.)

Has anyone made or thought of making a shortcut that essentially can have chat got reply to the messages based on prompts given? Essentially like the chat boats you see on many lead capture websites. Is this even possible?

So I have a shortcut that plays a song then after x amount of time skip to a part if the song a like then go to the next song and repeat for next 2 songs. But sometimes I want to stop it while it playing but when I put the if confirm on the top I have to wait for it to reach it. So what do I do?

Hey guys!

I'm back with an update for SCSettings.

If you haven't checked it out yet, check this post, and this one as well.

Anyway, after getting feedback that the toggles don't have a confirmation message I went ahead and added that in. I also added a `Vibrate Device` action as well to provide that little extra touch.

• Note: there is no way for Shortcuts to actually tell if settings like Wi-Fi or Bluetooth are actually on or not so the message just confirms that you've pressed the button. If there was I would make all of the icons dynamic, which would be cool.
  • I have been testing it for months and I've never had it fail.

Let me know what you think!

I have a group of coworkers who all need to add the same 50 contacts to their phone. I would love to be able to share a shortcut that adds all of the contacts to their phone automatically.

Ideally it would check to see if the number already exists in their phone so it doesn’t duplicate contacts or if someone accidentally runs the automation twice.

This is sort of weird, but I'm working on a web application that I can use to generate dinner ideas, and then select items from the ingredients list to then send to my shopping list.

https://codepen.io/Rafferty-Brown/pen/eYaJpLW

This is a link to a rough idea of the application, but at the end of it all the "share shopping list" button is able to share a txt file of whatever items I selected in the shopping list section.

In a perfect world, I would like to be able to add each of these items to my walmart cart via the walmart app shortcut,

but... it would also be okay if I could just somehow add these to my shopping list in either notes or reminders on my iPhone.

Is something like this possible? Thanks!

Edit: thanks everyone for the suggestions. Solved!

Hi! I just created my first shortcut and wanted to share it to get some feedback. I hope you enjoy it 😊

First, I created a shortcut to schedule a message using Reminders app to be able to schedule for any future date (I created a separate list called Messages for this). Then, I made another shortcut to send today’s scheduled messages. I set an automation to run daily at 09:30 AM and run this shortcut.

I struggle with insomnia and often remember a bunch of things to do, telling myself I’ll send a message first thing tomorrow, but I usually forget. I created this shortcut to send messages for setting medical appointments, talking to businesses, giving birthday compliments, and any silly message that’s not worth sending at the middle of the night 😅

Hi, I’m making a fishing shortcut for me and my friends and I’d like to make like a fishing id that shows how many fish you caught in total and if possible add it to your wallet

My car charger requires connecting to the internet to start charging. I don't have reception in my garage, so I have to turn it on after getting into the house. This is something I often forget to do, so I'd love to set up a shortcut that creates a reminder X minutes after my Tesla's charge port is open.

Is this possible with Shortcuts?

Feel free to modify whatever, just not so much as to make it not user friendly.

https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/904eb00dc2c44b5e98f25c39bbe8aabc The supershortcut is a large shortcut that can do many things, like make QR codes, make PDFs, speak text, etc.

When run it asks for a password, this is the correct password for the game, which other people have to guess.

I'm trying to build a shortcut that automatically sends the drive time to my wife when I pick her up from work. Would like to automate sending this text when my phone is plugged into CarPlay and the location is set to her office. I was trying to do it by getting her location but Shortcuts doesn't seem to be able to do that.

Anyone have some suggestions on how to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi folks

How to stop a shortcut running with a command issued from an other shortcut ? We have a Stop shortcut command but you can’t select the name of the shortcut you wanna stop.

Any idea ?

Thanks

I've almost overslept several times in the last few days, as my alarm clock has recently stopped ringing loudly on my iPhone, but continues to ring on my AirPods, which sometimes fall out of my ears during the night, so I ask myself the following question:

Is it possible to write a shortcut that sets a timer to a user-defined time, after which the iPhone automatically disconnects from previously defined devices or even switches off the Bluetooth or Wi-Fi completely?

This should actually solve the problem and the alarm clock should ring loudly on the phone again, shouldn't it?

Many thanks in advance for your help and contributions!

It has a tutorial in it, which is spoken with the Speak Text action. I made it so almost everything is set up before the game starts, basic stuff like “how many rounds” and “how big can the number be” which is the Difficulty of the game. The higher the number the harder it is to guess. It is also a function on the supershortcut. (F17)
