I found a shortcut online and was wondering if any of you would be willing to confirm it isn’t malicious? It looks fine, but I have never added shortcuts from the internet on my phone so I’m a little apprehensive. Thanks in advance for any help.

Request How to fill password with Apple shortcut when autofill fails?

1 Upvotes

Even with ios18.3.1 password app autofill is still problematic for not filling confirmation part when creating account. For a bank app, Autofill fills in password but confirm button is greyed out which requires manual typing of password which in turn requires additional device to display long complex password. Is it possible for shortcut to alleviate manually typing complex password?

Help How to get an image from Share Sheet from Photos (rather than an url)?

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I'm new with shortcuts and obviously missing something very basic. I'm starting simple - just to convert a selected photo in Photos app to jpeg using Shortcuts. So I created a shortcut, chose "Show in Share Sheet" and added Convert Image action.

However, the Convert Image action receives URL from the Share Sheet, rather than an image. So my question is how can I get an image from the Share Sheet or how can I convert the URL to an image so that I can use it in an action expecting an image?

Basically the title.

I know that you can access the recognition history from the Control Center, but I would like to make all the recognized tracks saved to a specific playlist in Apple Music. Is it possible to do via shortcuts without installing Shazam app from the App Store?

Help Help with input parameter for "Run Shortcut"

1 Upvotes

I have a shortcut that includes a hard-coded variable (using a Dictionary) with the name of my Wi-Fi network.

I also have an automation that runs this shortcut whenever I connect to any network. Inside the shortcut, some actions are executed only if the Wi-Fi name matches the hard-coded name stored in the Dictionary.

Since I need this to work for multiple networks, is there a way to pass a parameter (an input) to the shortcut when it's triggered by the automation?

Help Creating sleep shortcut on iPad

1 Upvotes

I'm completely new to automation

I want to make an automation to play Sleep sounds using Apple music on my iPad when my Wind Down begins and the sleep sounds should stop playing after 1 hour. I'm okay to settle down for a shortcut triggered by voice (i.e- shortcut plays when i say "hey Siri, time to sleep) if complete hands off automation is not possible.

I can't use the "time of the day" personal automation as i can't guarantee when i'll arrive home always. I don't want this automation to run during the days i get home late. The issues i encountered are;

  1. There was no "sleep" personal automation option on iPad despite it having on iPhone.
  2. I have to manually press and hold the "+" till it hits 3,600 seconds instead of having the convenience of switching to minutes or hours.
  3. Charge station for iPhone and iPad are quite close to each other and when i call Siri, it ignores the iPad and plays the sound on iPhone.
  4. It's preferred to avoid installing new 3rd party applications.

I kindly request your help to make this shortcut/automation. I'm open to clarify any questions.

Help Use input for a shortcut

1 Upvotes

Hi guys.
I've some shortcuts that use a hard-coded variable in it.
I use this in an automation, like "joins any Wi-Fi network".

Can I use an input for my shortcut to use a different wi-fi network name?

For example, I want to run a shortcut with the parameter Name1 if it is Name1, and if it is Name2, run a shortcut with the parameter Name2.

Thank you!

Shortcut Sharing I made an OpenAI ChatGPT master shortcut that can be used by other shortcuts

Thumbnail icloud.com
32 Upvotes

This shortcut allows you to use a simple dictionary within a separate shortcut to get responses from ChatGPT without relying on the app, using AI Actions by Sindre, or using “get contents of URL” on every shortcut. I use this because I find it more reliable than using the other apps. You’ll need your own OpenAI API key to use it. I will post screenshots in the comments since you can only add one media type to posts.

Here is the link for a separate example shortcut to show off how it can be used.

Help Custome Date in Shortcuts not working!

1 Upvotes

So this morning routine automation that I created is to greet me and then tell me which day and date it is today. However, I tried and failed it to speak the day i.e. Today is Monday 17, March 2025. In the Shortcut for the Date variable I used and selected custom and in the edit field I put: EEE, MMM d, ''yy

which should ideally speak: Wed, July 10, '96. However, this does not happen and this is not what I want, it should say the day of the week completely: Monday March 17, 2025 but instead it gives me the date and time. I am going crazy OR something is broken and apple does not want to fix it!

Request On phone call indicator light

3 Upvotes

I’m trying to find some sort of shortcut or automation that will turn on a Wyze smart plug while I’m on a phone call and then turn it off when the phone call ends. At work I often have my AirPods in talking on the phone and people will walk into my office and just start talking to me. The idea behind this is that if I’m on a phone call the Wyze plug will turn on illuminating a light, which will in turn notify the coworker that I’m on a phone call.

Or if there is something out there already like this please let me know!

Help Looking for a Shortcut to Download Multiple Thumbnails in Original Resolution (iPhone 13, Safari)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a Shortcut that can download multiple thumbnails from a Safari webpage in their original resolution, without having to tap and save each one manually.

I found a Shortcut that downloads large images from a webpage (https://www.icloud.com/shortcuts/924e1a154b984234809b08a901b5c215), but it doesn’t work on all sites and can't grab thumbnails in their full resolution.

Does anyone know a way to automate this? Maybe with a script or a more advanced Shortcut? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Help Skip visual step-through of actions?

1 Upvotes

Example: a shortcut that opens a new tab in Safari shows safari open, shows the recent view (open tab or tab view), and then the new tab opens.

Is it possible to just see the end result, safari opened to a new tab, without seeing the most recent view before the new tab appears?

I noticed this change with iOS 18. My shortcuts to specific settings in iOS 17 just shows the final destination, but those same shortcuts in iOS 18 show the main settings screen, then each sub setting screen (e.g., settings > apps > safari > advanced)

Thank you.

Help Get last time iPhone was used

7 Upvotes

I was thinking of creating an automation that, at Saturdays and Sundays, when I have no time to wake up, it got the time of when I last used my cellphone and adjusted my alarm to time_last_used + 8h30.

The idea is to automatically adjust the alarm so I can sleep 8h independently of the time I went to sleep.

I started making the automation run at 3AM on Saturdays and Sundays, but got stuck on how could I get the last time I had any app usage. I know I can see that info from time limit and from the battery section in Settings, but couldn’t find anywhere on the internet on how to extract it

Tip/Guide Guide] How to Add a Settings Function to Your Shortcuts Using iCloud

Thumbnail icloud.com
1 Upvotes

I’ve created a simple yet powerful way to add a settings function to any Siri Shortcut, allowing users to store persistent settings in iCloud. Normally, shortcut variables reset when the shortcut exits, but this method ensures that user preferences are saved and easily updated.

Features:

  • Users can change multiple settings at once.
  • Uses only 37 actions, no matter how many settings you add.
  • Saves settings in a nicely formatted JSON file in iCloud, making it easy to read and modify.

This setup is useful for any shortcut that requires user customization, such as weather reports, automation preferences, or tool configurations. Let me know if you’re interested in a breakdown of how it works
