Sorry if someone already put something similar up.

On a different thread, person was looking for easy way to adjust their day's events by X minutes, so, used it as an excuse to work on my Shortcut skills.

Looking for a shortcut to report local traffic conditions.

Report them to you? Or report by you?

I did not create this shortcut. My apologies if it has been previously posted. The shortcut will allow you to get the current battery level reading while using your Apple Watch. Comes in handy when your iPhone is not within sight or reach. I tested it many times and it works well, although it does take several seconds to give the answer on the S3.

possible to send home ETA and current weather in 1 single message?

Any way to do a shortcut to tell my phone not to turn the screen off? It’d be useful to be able to tell siri to “keep my screen on” while I’m looking at a recipe on safari!

No, I don’t think there is. There’s not even a “normal” command for that, so there’s no command for Shortcuts to run to do this.

The only thing I could think of to do this may be some of those apps that simulate a screen touch.

I definitely feel your pain on this. Nothing like trying to keep the screen lit with fingers that have been dipping chicken in egg and flour!

For some reason I can’t get this to work. The last time I tried it said that it would continue running in the Shortcuts app on the iPhone.

Here is a fairly simple one, your contacts will need to have their addresses included otherwise it won’t work. You could change it so that it asks for an address input and sends that to the contact of your choice.

EDIT**

this one has the ask for input option, either will work and you can choose whichever you’d like

Try changing the Siri dictation to something short like “iPhone battery.”

Invoking AppleScript from iOS Shortcuts

Saw this posted on another forum and thought it was worth linking to. Obviously requires another Mac running on your network, but it's nonetheless pretty neat.

Sorry if this exists..haven’t seen it.
Is there a way to make a shortcut that takes your IMDB search result for a movie and adds it to your amazon watch list or some similar platform?
Maybe starting with this shortcut and adding on?

Just a note to posters here: not all of us are on Macs (or iOS devices) when reading posts here. It would be useful if you have a question to post screenshots of your Shortcuts rather than (or in addition to) posting the iCloud links. For one, I am leery about randomly downloading other user's Shortcuts just to see what you may be asking about. Doing screenshots, I (and perhaps others) can see how your Shortcut is laid out without having to leave this forum.

Thanks in advance!

During the beta and, I think, version 2.0, there were actions built around Prime video. I don’t see those any more. Not sure where they went, but I think you’d need those to do what you are requesting.

Hi. Is there a shortcut to toggle WiFi calling? I need it on when at work but turn off when I leave (seems to drain more battery).

Thanks!

I’ve used WiFi calling ever since it came out. I don’t notice any extra battery drain

I’ll try it. It seems that when invoking from the watch it tries to run the shortcut but it eventually errors out. The shortcut seems fine when I run it on the phone. Does it matter that I have a series 1?

Nope. The complete list of system actions can be seen in the Scripting set of actions in Shortcuts. Toggling Wi-Fi calling is not one of them.

I’ve just merged all of my Google Photos back to iCloud Photos. But I have several hundred marked as favourites in google photos, is there a shortcut that could mark those photos as a favourite in my iCloud photos?

The shortcut has stopped working for me as well. It may be due to iOS 5.1. In the meantime, I downloaded this app. It works nicely right on the watch face, albeit you have to pay the upgrade fee ($4) to have it on the watch face. Otherwise, the app is free and can still give you the reading without the watch face.
