Run suggested shortcuts on iPhone or iPad
Siri makes suggestions for shortcuts based on your iOS or iPadOS app usage, information from third-party apps, browser history, email, messages and contact information. Siri also suggests shortcuts created in the Shortcuts app. These suggestions can appear on the Home Screen, on the Lock Screen or in the Siri Suggestions widget.
Using signals like location, time of day and type of motion (such as walking, running or driving), Siri learns when to suggest relevant shortcuts.
Run a suggested shortcut
On your iOS or iPadOS device, do one of the following:
From the Home Screen: Swipe down from the centre to show Search, then tap a shortcut.
From the Lock Screen: Tap a suggested shortcut.
From the Siri Suggestions widget: Tap a suggested shortcut.
Thanks for your feedback.
