About This Video

In this video, I’m giving you a beginner-friendly walkthrough of Siri Shortcuts—what a shortcut actually is, how the Shortcuts app is laid out, and how you can start building useful automations without feeling overwhelmed. I break it into clear parts: first we cover the basics, then I jump into the app itself with a quick tour so you know where everything lives, and then I walk you through creating your first shortcut step-by-step. If you’ve opened Shortcuts before and immediately backed out… this is the video for you. After that, I show you how I keep things organized with folders, and then I go through the different ways you can run shortcuts—like from the Share Sheet, Apple Watch, Siri voice control, HomePod, widgets, and even custom app icons and Lock Screen options. I also explain the difference between personal automations and Home automations (this matters a lot if you’re tying things into a smart home). To wrap it up, I point you to the Gallery for adding new shortcuts, talk about sharing shortcuts, and give you a bunch of fun ideas—especially for smart home routines like watching TV, checking cameras, and a morning status report.
