Whatβs 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 βSurf Timeβ shortcut that grabs the surf report, gives an ETA at the beach and launches your surf music playlist.
Whatβs an action?
An action β the building block of a shortcut β is a single step in a task. Mix and match actions to create shortcuts that interact with the apps and content on your Apple devices, as well as with content and services on the internet. Each shortcut is comprised of one or more actions.
