What’s a shortcut?

A shortcut is a quick way to get one or more tasks done with your apps.

The Shortcuts app lets you create your own shortcuts with multiple steps

For example, build a “Surf Time” shortcut that

grabs the surf report,

gives an ETA to the beach,

and launches your surf music playlist

What’s an action?

An action—the building block of a shortcut—is a single step in a task.

Mix and match actions to create shortcuts that interact with the apps and content on your iOS or iPadOS device, as well as with content and services on the Internet.

Each shortcut is made up of one or more actions

Create a custom shortcut

What is automation?

Automation is a type of shortcut that’s triggered by an event, rather than manually.

You can use the Shortcuts app to set up a personal or home automation and then have the automated shortcut triggered by

your arrival,

your departure,

a setting on your iPhone,

a time of day,

and much more

Create a new personal automation

What’s a shortcut?

A shortcut provides a quick way to get things done with your apps, with just a tap or by asking Siri

Shortcuts can automate a wide variety of things—for example…

getting directions to the next event on your Calendar,

moving text from one app to another,

generating expense reports,

and more

Based on how you use your iOS or iPadOS device—your app usage and your browser, email, and messaging history—Siri suggests simple, useful shortcuts that you can quickly tap to run.

Once you create a shortcut, you can simply summon Siri, then say the shortcut’s name to run it

What’s an action?

An action is the building block of a shortcut.

Each shortcut comprises a series of actions,

and each action is a single step that performs a particular function

For example, a shortcut that shares an animated GIF might contain 3 consecutive actions:

Get Latest Photos grabs the latest photos that you took on your device,

Make GIF uses those photos to build an animated GIF,

and Send Message automatically sends the GIF to your recipients

Shortcut editor showing actions used to send a message with photos as an animated GI

Actions represent the best features of the apps on your device, broken out into smaller parts.

With more than 300 actions, there are a variety of individual steps you can chain together to build shortcuts.

For more information about actions, see Intro to how shortcuts work and Navigate the action list in Shortcuts

Where are shortcuts stored?

Shortcuts you create or select from the Gallery are stored in the My Shortcuts screen of the app.

These shortcuts are available on your iPhone or iPad, ready to run at a moment’s notice.

Each shortcut is represented by a rounded rectangle that has a title, an icon, and a color.

Tap a shortcut once to run it, or tap to see the actions contained inside
