Shortcut Information
This shortcut was built to take advantage of Google Assistant’s actually imrpessive Shortcuts support – their action takes a “Query” parameter that, when filled out, will take that data into the Google Assistant app and make the request.
Using a Dictate Text action, this shortcut lets the user capture any commands, then, after a pause, switches to Google Assistant to finish the shortcut.
For a fun party trick, set this as Back Tap and show people how your iPhone has Google Assistant “built in” now.
