0:01 [Music] charging process started hi guys and welcome back on my YouTube channel in this video I'm going to show you the best shortcuts automations for your iPhone I've already made several videos about the best shortcuts so check them out if you're interested but today we will be talking about automations shortcuts automations as its name says allows users to run different automations based on the context time of the day or other parameters in this video I will show you all my shortcuts automations some of them are really cool if you want to support me please like And subscribe without further Ado let's get started
0:46 let's have a look on my first personal automation when any alarm goes off when when alarm goes off automation run immediately very important so I don't have to confirm the action and what to do run a smart lights shortcut very simple when the alarm goes off in the morning it automatically turns on lights in my apartment it's very handy and it allows me to wake up easier because when you have lights on it's difficult to fall asleep my second automation is very simple and it's related to carplay when my iPhone connects to carplay it automatically opens Way app because when I'm in the car car there is 99% of chance to use
1:32 this navigation app so I don't have to manually open this app my iPhone instantly opens the ways app my automation number three is related to music when my iPhone is connected to any of two Bluetooth devices my airpods or my Sony headphones is connected I've selected two devices it instantly opens the music app because obviously when I'm opening my airpods I'm going to listen to music at least at least there is a high chance this will happen so I set this automation when it comes to shortcuts automation it's all about optimization and winning some seconds throughout your day so when I open the
2:18 airpods case my iPhone automatically connects to them and opens the music app I'm saving maybe 3 to 4 seconds per day but you know it's always something it's better than nothing next automation uses the NFC tag when when the NFC tag is detected run immediately and actually I have a little NFC tag hidden inside this interesting object it's a mof Smart Pad you see the NFC logo so when I approach my iPhone to this location to this NFC tag it automatically runs my automation it automatically runs my shortcut that is related to a Smart plug it automatically turns on the outlet related to my
3:04 computer so I can instantly turn on or turn off my setup you see all I have to do is just approach my iPhone to this place to this NFC tag and it can turn on or turn off my desktop Mac setup so let's go back to my automations my next automation is related to social media when Instagram is opened my iPhone automatically starts a timer for 10 minutes why because I'm trying to reduce my screen time I'm trying not to spend too much time on the social media apps so when I'm opening the Instagram app I see the 10 minutes timer you know in this digital Island and it allows me to
3:49 keep track on the time spent on the social media you know it's like a small thing but it really helps me to you know to optimize my time cuz you know time spent on the social media is time lost for your life next automation is related to battery when battery level Falls below 5% my iPhone speaks the text critical battery level connect your iPhone to the power source or use the ultra low power mode and it runs the ultra low power mode shortcut when I have just 5% of battery life left my iPhone literally speaks out loud to me and automatically
4:35 runs the ultra low power mode shortcut I found it pretty useful it's just a little bit awkward to hear your iPhone speaking and asking for charging it next automation is also related to battery life when battery level Falls below 35% my iPhone automatically turns on the standard low power mode on my iPhone by default your iPhone will turn on the low power mode when it falls below 20% but I decided to increase this number next shortcuts automation is also related to charging when my iPhone is connected to power it automatically speaks a text which text charging process started why
5:20 I don't know why it's just funny it's just like I I'm going to show you how it uh how it works charging process started you can of course replace the text by your own for example let's ask my iPhone to say something like subscribe to my YouTube channel when it's connected to a power source and you will see it will start speaking this text every time connected to a power source subscribe to my channel the last shortcut automation I want to show you is related to a focus mode when reduce
6:06 Interruption mode is on it automatically turns off the always on display so that way I'm not distracted and when the reduce interruptions mode is off it will turn on the always on display hope you got the idea let me show you how it works so for example I'm turning on the reduce Interruption mode on my Apple watch you see now the always on display is on on my iPhone reduce interruptions on and boom it automatically turns off the always on display so I'm not distracted I'm not seeing any notifications very very cool uh Automation and again when I'm turning off the reduce Interruption mode it will
6:52 automatically turn on the always on display so I can enjoy my notification and uh yeah like you got the idea you can really play with different shortcuts automations and try to invent something that will fit your lifestyle if you're a beginner and you want to create automations all you have to do is open the shortcuts app and you have to go to the automation tab tap on the little plus icon in the upper right corner and you can select you know the context time of the day alarm sleep when you arrive somewhere when you leave a location uh carplay email when I get a message or when you send a message uh when your iPhone is connected to your
7:39 home Wi-Fi uh different battery levels uh Focus modes sound recognition and so on guys thank you for watching this video let me know in the comments what are your favorite automations on your iPhone I'm really curious to know your ideas thanks again for watching if you like this video please give it a like And subscribe to my YouTube channel thanks again for watching and I'll see you next time bye [Music]
