Smooth out your routine's rough edges with automations in ShortcutsAutomation is a great way to simplify your life and unload of the mental burden of repeated tasks.
Automations are one of the best features in the Shortcuts app for iPhone and iPad. Automations are essentially shortcuts with a single specific trigger. Whereas a standard shortcut can be activated with Siri, by pressing its button in the app, or through the widget, an automation has one method of activation.
An automation can be triggered by something like the time of day, arrival at or departure from a location, activating low power mode, and more. Once the condition is met, the automation will either run or surface a notification to let you start running it. If you have a lot of recurring tasks or habits (maybe you play the same Apple Music playlist whenever you get in the car), automations can be especially useful.
This is what you need to know about automations, and how to work with them.
