More From The Library
Toggle Voice Control
Switches the Voice Control so you can issue commands to your device, giving you hands-free control of your devices.
Works great for Accessibility purposes, as well as simply using a device when you can’t reach it – I use this on my iPad Pro when it’s on the stand I have on my desk.
Open App Limits
Opens the deep link into Settings > Screen Time > App Limits so you can block out apps you use too much.
Add transcript to latest episode
Opens the URL to the transcript page for the latest episode of your Transistor podcast.
Open Major League Baseball
Opens the TV app to the dedicated section for Friday Night Baseball.
Send a Group Check-In
Asks you to select multiple contacts, then starts a Check In with the group.
Open Apple Music Essentials
Opens the Apple Music curator page for Essentials playlists of the top tracks from popular artists – great for playing across an artist’s discography instead of picking an album.
