That's possible now and you don't even need a shortcut. Just say "Hey Siri, call Mom on speakerphone". Has been around since 2018. start-a-speakerphone-call-with-siri-iphone

I know.
I have an icon to call my mom right there on the Home Screen. I don’t have to ask Siri, I just tap. Problem is I can’t make it automatically route audio to phone speakers because shortcut cant do it. That’s what I’m talking about.
if you don’t know why having an icon to call someone is far more convenient than using Siri in many situations you should try it. 😉 Trust me. You’ll love it.
Hate to say it, but I just pull my phone out and make the call.
I love Shortcuts, but I also love simplicity. I don't make enough calls that I need to reduce the number of button pushes.
But I agree with the idea that you should suggest this via Feedback.
I think the issue may be that it would then need yet another identifier for calls.
What if you pressed that button while you were in the car and connected to CarPlay? Or in a room and already connected to HomePods?
Do you ALWAYS want to make that call via speakerphone? Maybe you do, but I’m guessing it is more complicated when folks want that shortcut, but only when the phone isn’t connected to another audio source.
But this is coming from a guy that is too slow to have caught on the shortcuts yet…so…

Ha ha.But this is coming from a guy that is too slow to have caught on the shortcuts yet…so…
it’s one of the best apps on iPhone 😉
Edit: to be fair though we’ll get this functionality with Contact widget in iOS 17 but the touch target AFAIS is too small for me. We tap app every day and it’s the most comfortable tap target on iPhone so I’ll continue to use it.
and I also don’t lose valuable space on Home Screen on that widget.

This is a combination of iOS and WatchOS, but I think this is new.

If we can't get a calculator App for the iPad. I really want Apple to update the calculator app icon in iOS 17. It’s starting to look outdated now.

Did you try the solution by jdmccallum1999 in

That subreddit seems rly be part of the Reddit blackout. How are you guys getting into it?
Looks to be a cached page, not the sIt’s directly. Maybe the Wayback Machine? Or a saved link resolves to that?

I’m not 100% sure but I think this blue highlighting of the text while you dictate is new. Very nice effect.

The Multiple Timers is just amazing! 🌟
Truly revolutionary. Blatant display of their courage surplus.
New icon for active dictation!
Reminders now auto suggests previously completed tasks when you start typing. E.g., I typed “put” and it suggested my previous tasks of “put away laundry” and “put away dishes”.

Such an under-appreciated & underrated iOS 17 feature!
