It's easy. Create a shortcut for the volume. Media volume 0 ringing volume 0. ←If you tap this shortcut, all volumes will be 0. To return the volume, the media volume is 50 and the incoming volume is 50. ←Tap this shortcut to return.
i’m a firefighter and i actually created a shortcut like yours. BUT, instead of creating a new alarm, it toggles an existing alarm on. no need to create and delete alarms. works well for fire, police and nurses!!
I have the same one like yours. I’m a nurse. But instead of deleting an alarm, I think we can modify our shortcut and use the one in this video instead. I’ll go and experiment.
I would like a shortcut that when I take a picture I can send it to an email address with prewritten email body. I would like to use the shortcut to complain to my local council.
TRying the Save Dog Photos, changing it to Ragdoll cats. I Get a red flag on "Recognize objets..." And it comes from starting the shortcut. The message that preceeds is "This action is trying to share 10 Photo items, which is not allowed. You can allow this in settings." Which settings?Toolbox Pro? Albums?
Hi Stephen, I tried (Read Texts Aloud by Time) in automation and without IF, simply "Speak Shortcut Input" the text stuff from message. but it only give me the default system (Banners alert) notification without speaking it. What am I doing wrong or not setting anything else?
Hi! Love your videos! I have a request. My wife is a pre school teacher and she has to take a lot of photos of the kids with her phone, and she keeps complaining about having to manually sort all of the pics. I created a shortcut that lets her take pics, say the name of the kid, and it will find/create a folder with the kid’s name and save the picture in there. But I could only make it work by taking only one picture or having to choose how many pics you’re going to take before hand… Do you know what to do about that? Thanks a lot!
"Phone Charged Notification" at 3:06 I would like an identical notification to appear on my iPhone and iPad when my Apple Watch is fully charged. Can you develop an appropriate shortcut to achieve the desired result?
Hello - love all your shortcut videos. I'd like to know Is there any way, using if statements in a shortcut automation, that when battery gets to a certain percentage it checks to see if it is charging and if so it would speak certain text and if it’s not charging it doesn’t say anything? Thanks ahead of time for your help.
Always love these Shortcut videos and links! 🌟 How about a shortcut that mutes notifications/calls/audio when you leave the house and turns back on when returning home?
Is there a reason one of my automations will periodically not run, it will work perfectly for a week, and then not run. I am sending a random text message at a specific time to my husband, Thanks.
I have been trying to create a shortcut that scans my calendar first thing in the morning (6am) and then sends me a message (15min) before each appointment. I have created a few different ways, but none of them lol at all my calendar events and send a message. Please help.
The focus mode should turn on till the event ends. This should search my calendar and happen automatically. I don’t want it to run at different times if the day
I am in the courier industry and rely on incoming WhatsApp messages/bookings to Pickup parcels from clients to post on a group chat for my drivers to attend to for collection. How do I automate the process to automatically copy incoming WhatsApp content and forward same to a specified WhatsApp group chat
Can you create a shortcut that shuffles a playlist but does not repeat the artist? Or spaces out songs from an artist? The one thing I dislike about Apple's and Spotify's shuffle feature is that sometimes they play songs from the same artist back to back. I'm wondering is a shortcut can do this.
That's a tough one! I don't think that's possible as Shortcuts doesn't have a mechanism for controlling a playlist that's already going (besides play / pause) or an automation trigger to say "look for songs by X"
I love your channel! I’ve learned so much in a short time since moving back to iOS. I’ve got a shortcut request, if possible. I know I can silence unknown callers, but is there a way via shortcuts to only allow calls from my Contacts as well as from a specific area code, and silence everybody else? I could do it on Android with MacroDroid or Tasker and I’ve been looking for a way to replicate it on iOS.
@@beardfm That’s what I was afraid of, but I’ve seen some really creative ways of using shortcuts to accomplish all kinds of tasks, so I thought I’d ask. Thanks!!
need an automation to speak battery status when charging. For example when I connect charger and when it is charged to specific level it should announce the battery %
I have two questions 1.Can you make a shortcut for turning on hotspot with timer so it turns off on its own 2.can you make a shortcut with nfc that triggers when placed near it and triggers again when you take it away from it Exmple - when im going to sleep i place my phone on a nfc that triggers low power mode then when in wake up and take the phone low power mode turns off on its own
Regarding the alarm by shift. Why not calculate the time when the alarm should go off instead of setting a specific time? I mean, when working in shifts you usually need an alarm at different times on different days.
That's a great option too! I did that here, this was for a shift that's the same time every week: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qHbpBOT133c.htmlsi=opcp31PlcGpZ1B2a
For example if we already have an app widget available, and if I want to run/open that specific app widget by "back tap". Can we do it by using a shortcut??
I saw your past iPhone frames shortcut video but I didn’t like that. That only support own iPhone model frame that is the problem. I waiting for your next shortcut video
Thanks for these! Is there a shortcut where my HomePod can automatically tell me my briefing instead of asking Siri? I would want it to run as my morning alarm goes off!
Hi, Stephen! I want to ask you if there’s a way to add NFC card and use it with automation for example? Is there a way to scan the reciever nfc, and if the reciever is scanned, scan the card to unlock it? Like if there’s an NFC reciever somewhere and i want to use automation to scan that card.
I want a shortcut for monitoring headaches/ migraines. I want it to ask me which one I have What time What I ate What I drank What medicine I took And save it to notes or bear notes (preference) How would i build?
I love how single tap is efficient and super effortless compared to the double tap on android. - But when I’m on “study” focus mode I want that tap to wake feature to be turned off (to limit DISTRACTIONS). Is it possible to do so?
Anyone know how to put location services as always for a specific app when I arrive to a destination and have it disabled for the app when I am out of the location?
I have many requests I'm still working on, some are beyond either my abilities or Shortcuts in general, but I keep them all in the backlog and work on them when I can!
I have an Apple Watch Ultra and I have a 3rd party fitness app I’ve been trying to make a shortcut for so i can use my action button, I don’t know what I’m doing wrong
Love the shortcuts. Have you thought about making one when AirPods are fully charged? I find it had to set up as how the AirPods connect and disconnect
is there a way to open a specific part of the home app from shortcuts?, say scan a NFC tag in the living room to open up the controls for the living room devices?.
Photos in a grid… But the thing is, you’re not telling us WHY we would ever want photos in a 4 x 4 grid. I mean, I literally cannot think of one single place. I would use that. So…. I like to start with. WHY we need something and then solve the problem.
Hello! I don’t really use the grid that often to be honest but I use vertically all the time to do a screenshot and combine the screenshots together to make one big screenshot without advertisements. I use that to post a news article to my Instagram story.
Is there a way to do the set alarm by shift with different shift time? Something that will detect my work start time then create an alarm based on that

Can you create a shortcuts that helps me learn 2 languages by adding a focus depending on the time and it swaps between 2 each day 1 day Arabic One day Russian and repeat
@@beardfm kinda. But I have a new idea. I need to prepare for a Russian exam so can you make shortcuts that put you in specific apps at specific times and you can’t leave until a certain time
Hi love you videos, I can see you are sharing your shortcut, do you have someway where I / we can see all the shortcuts you have share overall? Again super good videos, love the way you are share your knowledge 🤗
Tysmm subbed Do you know if it’s possible to make a notification delete/disappear after a while from the Lock Screen Or maybe just a drop down notification?
@@beardfm that’s on at default I think cos it does it already lol, I mean so in the Lock Screen I don’t have tons of notifications just telling me small things like that the vpn was activated I just want that to act like a drop down if it’s a drop down that doesn’t stay on the Lock Screen Ty for helping much appreciate hope ur channel grows
I made a simple shortcut. Take screenshot, and share it. The problem is I would like it in my iOS 18 control center. How do I close the control center before it takes the screenshot? For now I have a wait for 2 seconds action. So I have 2 seconds to close the control center
@@beardfm sad, but it’s fine. Thanks! Also would love to customize the icon of a shortcut in control center. I know it isn’t possible but would be nice to
Hi Stephen! Your videos and shortcuts are very informative. I wanted to ask you if you can help me create a shortcut that notifies me daily about the time of sunset, wherever I am in the globe.
Are there any Apple shortcuts for working with the Google Calendar app? All I see are keyboard shortcuts for computer. I truly appreciate your work. Thank you. New Subscriber - Terry
Love the idea of the Shift alarm but it would be better if the alarm is set for say an hour before shift starts rather than a set time. Most people have events that could use this shortcut principle but not always at the same time for every occurrence. Is that possible? Get event from calendar and set alarm for xx minutes before it starts?
@@beardfmis it just me or is there a bug in shortcuts as when setting the alarm based on upcoming events the Otherwise step is find alarms with the specified label and delete them (which is meant to remove the old alarms) Seems like shortcut cannot filter just to the specified label correctly and wants to delete any alarms regardless of label.
It's not possible at this time to name a timer directly via shortcuts, but if using the screen is okay then actions exist to copy the name of the timer you want, open the timers screen on Clock app, and then the only thing needed is to select the timer created via Shortcut and paste its name in via the action which copied it to the clipboard.
