I hope Apple continues to invest its efforts internally at developer ever-more-powerful built-in actions in each release of the Shortcuts app, setting an example for the developer community while giving lots of direct capabilities to everyday Shortcuts users. Wake-On-Lan over internet without another app Shortcut All the current shortcuts I see require an always on computer in your network and ssh or an app to hook into. Step 3: Run your new shortcut to test it. Step 2: Add actions in the shortcut editor. The capabilities of Shortcuts are often only limited by what functionality Apple and third-party developers make available to users, so a simple set of three actions can spawn tons of unique and highly-valued personal workflows that change the way iOS users interact with their devices. Create a custom shortcut on iPhone or iPad It’s easy to create a new, custom shortcut using the Shortcuts app for iPhone or iPad: Step 1: Create a new shortcut in your shortcuts collection.

Screenshot showing prompt to confirm the screenshot that occasionally appears when using the Take Screenshot action. This can be used by cameras providing motion detection, line trips and other alarms and can even be utilised by iPhones to provide shortcut control or Siri. This action does take a screenshot immediately, however, so you'll likely want to include a Wait action to let you get to the right spot to take the screenshot (instead of capturing the shortcut itself running). The third action new in iOS 14.5 is the Take Screenshot action, a useful tool for designing a new screenshot-based workflow that lets you capture the image at runtime (rather than screenshotting beforehand and running a shortcut after). This action will similarly be most useful as part of a longer flow rather than a single shortcut for toggling between 4G and 5G – I can also imagine users might set up a CarPlay automation to toggle off the high-data mode while you're driving or perhaps while on your home network, for example. Users taking advantage of Dual Sim support can also switch between SIMs, selecting Primary or Secondary from the menu in the shortcut as well – my example screenshot above includes options for changing both settings.
