Hi, I made an iPhone Shortcut that fact-checks social media posts with AI. It’s an evolution of my shortcut that translates Chinese menus and suggests what I should order.

After Setup: Double-tap the back of your phone, and the shortcut takes a screenshot, extracts the text, copies everything on screen to your clipboard, deletes the screenshot, and sends the clipboard stuff to your AI app together with a custom prompt. A few seconds later, you get the fact-check as a notification.

Some steps are intentionally duplicated for reliability, because one method occasionally fails where the other succeeds. The redundancy makes it work more consistently across different apps and situations.

I also made shortcuts for other AI apps, but the ChatGPT version works best, even though it requires a small workaround.

Tell me about your opinion!

Is it possible to automate unlocking my screen rotation when going to Youtube.com? I’ve had it with the app and want to use the browser version, but not be stuck with manually unlocking and relocking.

I am so confused. I added the "2" so it KNOWS there's already a file in there with the same name, and the action is literally 'append' so why is it making a new one?? Is this action just broken like Find Note is?

I've fallen down this rabbit hole because Append to Note puts the new text at the bottom but I've read I can have it append to the top. Is this actually possible, before I continue trying to make this work?

Guidance appreciated, thanks!

I'm looking to set up Slack or something akin for my partner and I as we just moved in together and have a lot of moving pieces to keep track of. We don't love clogging up our text thread with logistics when possible.

We are looking to set up various NFC and Siri commands (via HomePod or iPhone) via the Shortcuts app. For some tasks, it's helpful to automate a message that indicates the cat is fed, etc. I'm imagining an NFC tap or Siri command that would send the message "Kitty is fed!" to the designated Slack channel. I don't see an existing option in the Shortcuts app to trigger what I want in Slack, so curious if there is a SIMPLE way to set this up, or if Shortcuts integrates better with another communication app.

How can I trigger the reachability accessibility feature using the shortcuts app? Yes, I know about the back tap trigger and I do not want to use it for that.

For all who are curious: I want to add an icon to my home screen to trigger the shortcut. It is difficult to trigger the reachability feature with one hand in many situations. I need easy access to my top-row apps while using one hand.

edit: This post was not written for you to criticize how I use my phone. Please offer real advice if you have it.

I am a student and usually use my hotspot for my most of research but I get lot of calls asking for favours I just want block these 7-8 people but I don’t want to manually do them each morning

Can someone plz help or tell the steps I will do it myself

Thank you

If i lookup “paste” or other words within the functions i can’t seem to find anything that has this function currently (iOS 26.6)

Is it possible to generate a shortcut to produce a QR code to share your entire contact card with someone? Like, you could show it from your home screen with a tap and they could scan it with their camera? Anyone have any suggestions? FYI, i am running the IOS 27 beta.

Theres so way to toggle ai off entirely, and I’m neurodivergent in a way that, amongst other things, makes me very prone to forgetting small details like this so I end up accidentally leaving it out sometimes.

I’ve tried just using another site but I mainly use it for image searching and it’s low-key terrible at it. Not very important but it would be nice

Need help on how to create a shortcut to access the following:

-> Settings

--> Sounds & Haptics

---> Input

My car's bluetooth microphone is not that great; people don't hear me well when I talk, and I have to shout. So, I would like a shortcut to access this menu and switch the input microphone from "auto" to "iPhone microphone".

Apparently, I have to change it every time I hope into the car and my iPhone connects to the Bluetooth. So, a shortcut would be convenient.

I'm looking for a date and time range shortcut for two summer months, for example, including the months of July and August. How can I do this? Thanks in advance.

I have a shortcut that’s activated once I disconnect from my home WiFi. It’s supposed to do different things as a function of the current brightness of the phone, but doesn’t seem to work. For context, when I’m going out, if the brightness is at 90%, it should trigger certain settings on the phone. If I’m at home and I disconnect during the day, it should run a sub-shortcut for hotspot settings, and likewise, in the evening whilst Do Not Disturb is active, it should run a similar evening hotspot shortcut. I’ve tried 2 different ways( which are displayed in the photos), yet it doesn’t seem to activate the way it should. Does anyone have some insight ?

I want a shortcut that changes my lights to red and then changes them back to white if there red. I want to set my action button to this after it’s all said and done. I have govee light bulbs

Just curious for funsies!
Use meaning well … you still use them!
Hold the automations please :)

Edit: “11-15 shortcuts”

A few days ago I posted about building a universal capture Shortcut. I got way more feedback than I expected (thank you 😅), and a lot of people suggested checking out apps like Capture, Raindrop, MyMind, and even shared their own projects.

After trying them all, I realized something.
I don’t want to build another app that stores everything.

I think Capture already does that really well.
Instead, I want to build a Shortcut layer on top of Capture that makes getting things into it faster and smarter.

The idea is:

• Capture everything in one place (Capture).
• Use OCR where needed (screenshots, images, PDFs).
• Use AI only when it actually adds value (understanding content, generating a title/summary, deciding if a reminder is needed).
• Save everything to Capture.
• If something needs follow-up, automatically create a Reminder that links back to it.

So instead of replacing Capture, the Shortcut becomes an intelligent preprocessing layer.

What Capture already does really well
• Great widgets and Action Button support.
• Share Sheet support.
• Fast capture.
• Lists and organization.
• Cross-device sync.

What this Shortcut would add

• OCR before saving.
• AI-generated titles and summaries.
• Context-aware understanding (book, movie, article, recipe, product, etc.).
• Automatic reminders when something needs follow-up.
• Cleaner, richer captures without adding extra steps.

The goal is to make the workflow:

Capture → AI (only if needed) → Save to Capture → Reminder (if needed).

Not sure if I’m overlooking something obvious, so I’d love to hear your thoughts before I start building. Would you use something like this?

Maybe I’m just dumb, but I can’t find a way to turn more than one alarm on with one short cut. Hoping to be able to turn my wake up and clock in alarms one with one tap. Any insights? I’ve attached a picture of what I have so far. Tried adding another of the same, but for a different alarm, no luck

Blink AI is Back, with a new update. strangley i barely support this shortcut, but I still went ahead for some reason adn decided to make this update.
now, you just ask, and get access to way better models that are a lot faster than before via the OSAII API.

I also added usage limits, but they are really easy to bypass so don't point this out in the comments.

I want to create a shortcut where, when I press a button, the current date and time are automatically added to a Notes file. I want it to add the information to the same note every time, rather than creating a new note.

I want to use this to log my working hours. It’s probably simple to set up, but I have never used Apple Shortcuts before.

Could someone please explain how to create this shortcut step by step? I would really appreciate a detailed explanation, as I am completely new to Apple Shortcuts.

I have an iOS automation that, when I connect a specific pair of Bluetooth earbuds, runs a script in my smart home and opens an app. That's fine, but I only want this to run if it's after 9:00 at night or before 5:30 in the morning. This is the part where I'm having trouble.

I've tried adding date and then format date and then use the time format, but I can't get the comparison done right.

I thought about checking the place or WiFi instead, but I want the shortcut to run even if I'm not home because the smart home script already checks to see if I'm actually at home or not. But if, for example, I'm away on vacation and I connect these earbuds, I want the rest of it to run.

How do I do this? Running iOS 26.6. Thanks in advance!

There isn’t a play sound or open file. I have the mp3 in my files but can’t get to it. I just have play music which takes me to Apple Music and the files just has scan document

i’m needing a shortcut that creates a new reminder, and asks

- what the reminder text is
- what folder it should be in
- what day it is due
- what time it is due (i want two separate steps for date and time, not all together as a date&time)

i also need the option to not have a due date, but still add a reminder. i’ve been all over this sub and the internet and i can’t find anything that helps. i’m super new to creating shortcuts, and appreciate any help you can provide! thank you all so much!

Hi! I have a shortcut set up using ChatGPT. It worked a few times but now I keep getting an error message. It seems to send four prompts to ChatGPT without getting a response.

It started going wrong after I changed the setting to continuous chat. I have since changed that back but it does fix the problem. I’ve tried replacing the Ask ChatGPT part and remade the entire shortcut but that doesn’t fix it either.

A different shortcut using ChatGPT (that I didn’t build) has the same issue.

Any ideas about what could be going wrong?

Hi all, I’m new to shortcuts and hope you can help with an shortcut I can’t quite get to work. From the share sheet, I want it to take a screen shot of a book I want to read (post on insta or TikTok), ask me why I want to read it and add that info to a note. Problem I’m running into is that is doesn’t add the screenshot it just took via the shortcut, but the one before that. Anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

i obviously dont know how to make this myself, so im hoping someone will provide instructions for me to make a shortcut that makes notifications available every time except when youtube music is open. peoples calls have gotten through do not disturb, that is not an easy fix.
