Updated in the Shortcuts Library: Apple Music Replay shortcuts
With the release of Apple Music Replay for 2025, I've updated my folder of shortcuts with the new playlist – plus the Replay All Time playlist added to the service in June.
Plays the preselected Replay All Time playlist on Shuffle, which curates your top tracks across the years into a single playlist.
Plays the preselected Replay 2016 playlist on Shuffle. My top tracks of the year—not even joking—were Burn The Witch, Can’t Keep Checking My Phone, Daydreaming, Better Strange, and Bored to Death. Uncanny.
Plays the preselected Replay 2017 playlists on Shuffle. Top tracks include Cash Machine, which I found infinitely funny or enjoyable during the same year when the company I worked at got sold to Apple.
Asks you to pick a focus mode, then toggles the current Music Focus Filter setting for “Use Listening History” so you can switch whether or not to Use Listening History for a chosen focus with an existing filter. Works well as a Control in Control Center.
Plays the preselect Replay 2018 playlist on Shuffle. Top tracks include ‘Til Its Over by Anderson .Paak, which reminded me this was the year I first got a HomePod.
Asks you to pick a focus mode, then sets the Music Focus Filter for “Use Listening History”” to off so you can listen to anything without it being added to your Apple Music Replay.
Plays the preselected Replay 2020 playlist on Shuffle. Apparently during lockdown, I listened to Lockdown and Make It Better by Anderson .Paak a lot – for some reason.
Opens the Apple Photos app for Apple TV, then shows the Remote so you can select an album or a memory to play.
Opens the TV app to the “Included with Apple TV” category, showing the occassional set of movies that Apple makes free temporarily to go along with the theme of new Apple TV+ Originals.
Opens the Magnifier app and activates the Reader mode, which scans text and speaks it out loud
Gets the current battery state, checking for connection or charging status and showing the total battery level as a percentage.
Opens to your Health Records to show your Allergies records where you can “connect to your providers to see your health records and get updates when there’s a new entry.”
