i’m a firefighter and i actually created a shortcut like yours. BUT, instead of creating a new alarm, it toggles an existing alarm on. no need to create and delete alarms. works well for fire, police and nurses!!

Always love these Shortcut videos and links! 🌟 How about a shortcut that mutes notifications/calls/audio when you leave the house and turns back on when returning home?

"Phone Charged Notification" at 3:06 I would like an identical notification to appear on my iPhone and iPad when my Apple Watch is fully charged. Can you develop an appropriate shortcut to achieve the desired result?

Love the shortcuts. Have you thought about making one when AirPods are fully charged? I find it had to set up as how the AirPods connect and disconnect

Hi! Love your videos! I have a request. My wife is a pre school teacher and she has to take a lot of photos of the kids with her phone, and she keeps complaining about having to manually sort all of the pics. I created a shortcut that lets her take pics, say the name of the kid, and it will find/create a folder with the kid’s name and save the picture in there. But I could only make it work by taking only one picture or having to choose how many pics you’re going to take before hand… Do you know what to do about that? Thanks a lot!

Thank you Stephen you’re awesome. Love your shortcut videos so helpful.

Appreciate all the work you put in for these videos!

I love your channel! I’ve learned so much in a short time since moving back to iOS. I’ve got a shortcut request, if possible. I know I can silence unknown callers, but is there a way via shortcuts to only allow calls from my Contacts as well as from a specific area code, and silence everybody else? I could do it on Android with MacroDroid or Tasker and I’ve been looking for a way to replicate it on iOS.

Can you create a shortcut that shuffles a playlist but does not repeat the artist? Or spaces out songs from an artist? The one thing I dislike about Apple's and Spotify's shuffle feature is that sometimes they play songs from the same artist back to back. I'm wondering is a shortcut can do this.

I made a simple shortcut. Take screenshot, and share it. The problem is I would like it in my iOS 18 control center. How do I close the control center before it takes the screenshot? For now I have a wait for 2 seconds action. So I have 2 seconds to close the control center

Is there a reason one of my automations will periodically not run, it will work perfectly for a week, and then not run. I am sending a random text message at a specific time to my husband, Thanks.

Love the idea of the Shift alarm but it would be better if the alarm is set for say an hour before shift starts rather than a set time. Most people have events that could use this shortcut principle but not always at the same time for every occurrence. Is that possible? Get event from calendar and set alarm for xx minutes before it starts?
