A shortcut app that can be easily performed by registering multiple actions used repeatedly as one procedure.In iOS 14, the shortcut app has been updated, making it easier to use.
The shortcut app has "automation" that can automatically execute shortcuts according to specific conditions such as location information and date.In iOS 14, new automation has been added, and you can quickly make automation when receiving emails and messages.
You can also create a folder and classify multiple shortcuts.In the past, the screen of "My Short Cut" was difficult to find when the shortcuts increased, but in iOS 14, it is divided by category, making it easy to find the desired shortcut.That's why I will introduce a new shortcut this time.
In addition, since this article uses the iOS 14 papric beta version, the screen and procedure may be different from those published as the official version.
Create a new automation
Automation is a function that can automatically execute shortcuts according to specific conditions.For example, if you want to open the same news site at 8:00 in the morning, you can automatically perform the time and operation, which is convenient.
"New automation" has newly added, such as "sleep", "email", and "message".Here, we set up a YouTube search to listen to one song before going to bed with "sleep" automation.It is smooth to set a sleep schedule in the "Healthcare" app in advance.
Open the shortcut app and tap "Automation".Press the + button on the upper right to open "Create a personal automation".Tap "Sleep" in "New automation".
Select when to operate this automation.If you do not register a sleep schedule, you will have to fly to a healthcare app and set it up, so it is smooth to set a bedtime and wake -up time in the healthcare app in advance.This time, the settings have been completed in the Helscare app in advance, so select the time for "Start preparation for going to bed".
Tap "Add Action" and select the operation of the app to be prepared for the time to go to bed.It is also possible to search by app name.Here, select "Search Web" and press "Next".
If you add "Search for Web" as an operation of the app you want to prepare for a sleep, "Search for text on Google" will be displayed.Tap "Text" and enter the word you want to search on YouTube.Next, tap "Google" and change to "YouTube".
Then tap "Next" and "Complete" in order to complete the automation.When it comes to bed preparation time, you will see the YouTube screen where you search for the set word.
Create a folder
Open "My Short Cut" and tap the folder button on the upper right.You can create a folder by selecting an icon, entering the name of the folder and adding it.
Move the shortcut to the folder
After creating a folder, let's move the shortcut there.Press and hold the shortcut you want to move.Tap "Move" below and select a folder to complete the movement to the folder.
If you want to move multiple shortcuts, tap "Select" at the top right of "All shortcuts" to select multiple "Move" below to select a folder.
iOS 14 has more options for automation than before.In addition, a folder has been created to classify multiple shortcuts.If you register a lot of frequently used operations in shortcuts, divide them into categories, making them easier to use, so why not try new features?
