What’s New in Shortcuts – Issue 98

In between betas, we saw a new action come to Shortcuts, interesting rumors related to the future of Siri, stories sharing helpful tips, and more to do with Threads by Instagram.

From Issue 98 of my Shortcuts newsletter:

Welcome to Issue 98 of What’s New in Shortcuts!

Since the last issue in mid-July, news has been a bit quiet on the Shortcuts front thanks to a delayed second public beta – developer beta 3 was a bit rough, and now beta 4 is out today along with the public beta late in the he day.

As such, I held off on a few stories related to beta features that I have yet to cover, so my Automations and Widget coverage are coming tomorrow morning instead.

However, I did discover a new action in the betas, plus uploaded my new Threads scraping tool to the Library too – shortcuts are live now, and stories on those are coming later this week as well.

Otherwise, I published a couple of holdover posts on Threads, a few interesting tips related to power user features you might use if you’re a Shortcuts fan, and a series of linked posts to check out.

Until next issue, here’s what’s new in Shortcuts:
