What’s New With Shortcuts – Issue #001

Welcome to the first issue of “What’s New in Shortcuts?”

Thank you for reading this newsletter – I look forward to sharing more about how to use Siri Shortcuts so everyone can learn more.

If you haven’t yet, check out the free Shortcuts Catalog with 300 shortcuts and 300 actions, plus the membership available.

With that, here’s what’s new this week:

GET READY FOR THE EVENT

    Get back to the Catalog anytime you want – without opening a new tab either.

    Episode 90 and 91 covers everything new with Shortcuts in iPadOS 14 (featuring myself as a guest).
