Siri Shortcuts is a powerful tool that allows you to perform complex tasks on your iOS device with just a simple voice command. Instead of taking the time to navigate through your phone or open various apps, Siri Shortcuts does it for you. Here's how you can use Siri Shortcuts to make your life easier:
Step 1: Update to the Latest iOS Version
Siri Shortcuts comes integrated with the latest iOS versions. If you're not already updated, go to Settings > General > Software Update and download the latest version of iOS.
Step 2: Enable Siri Shortcuts
Go to Settings > Siri & Search. Enable 'Listen for 'Hey Siri. Then under 'Ask Siri' > All Shortcuts > enable 'Siri Suggestions.' Now Siri will start suggesting various shortcuts based on your app usage and habits to make your life easy.
Step 3: Creating a Custom Siri Shortcut
To create a custom shortcut, open any app and tap on the icon with three dots or go to the app's settings and tap on 'Add to Siri.' You can choose your phrase and add the action, which Siri will perform anytime you say that phrase. For example, if you want to send a message to your spouse every time you say 'I love you Siri,' you can do that.
Step 4: Using Siri Shortcuts via Voice Command
Once you've enabled and created your Siri Shortcuts, you can use them via voice command. Just say 'Hey Siri' followed by the phrase for the shortcut you've added, and Siri will take care of the rest. For instance, if you want Siri to text your spouse that you're on the way, just say 'Hey Siri, I'm on my way,' and Siri will send the message with your pre-set destinations and route.
Step 5: Manage Your Siri Shortcuts
To manage your Siri Shortcuts, open the Shortcuts app. Here, you can add, delete, or modify your shortcuts.
