Where is iphone automation?

Where is iphone automation? Workflow was originally a third-party efficiency tool. After being acquired by Apple, it was launched as its own function on iOS devices. Apple renamed it "shortcut command" to better integrate with the iOS ecosystem. We have recommended many useful "quick commands" to you before.

In the version of iOS 13 Beta 2, the shortcut command is more powerful, adding the function of "automation", which can automatically run some operations after the conditions are met. What changes will it bring to our iPhone?

You are a mature mobile phone, it's time to learn how to operate it yourself.

Shortcut command has two original trigger conditions: active operation and calling out with Siri. The automation function goes one step further, and can automatically run the operation when certain conditions are triggered. Several default condition settings have been given in the shortcut description: when the schedule is related, when the alarm clock stops, when the itinerary is related, when the flight mode is on, when the home Wi-Fi connection is made, etc.

The basic principle is: when the "XX" condition is met, the "XX" operation is automatically executed. For example, you can set up in Netease Cloud Music to automatically play private FM songs when the alarm clock stops every morning. Click the+sign to create personal automation, select the alarm clock, and set it to wake up the alarm clock. When the alarm clock stops, this completes the condition selection. The next step is to set the action to be performed. Here, just like when setting shortcut instructions, you can choose from the given operations.

The operations given in the shortcut instructions are very rich. If you know a little technology, you can use grammar to realize very complicated instructions. But don't worry, novices can also choose simple operations through suggestions. For example, the private FM of Netease Cloud Music can be simplified into an operation, which can be directly clicked. It should be noted that the suggestions in the shortcut instructions can only be triggered if you have used the App. If it is a newly downloaded application, remember to run it manually first.

From active operation to passive operation

Automation function does not increase the "operation" of shortcut instructions, but makes the "trigger condition" more intelligent and makes some operations "passively executed". Combining these trigger conditions with rich instructions can achieve many interesting operations.

For example, I listen to podcasts on my way to and from work every day, and Bluetooth connection with AirPods can set the operation of "turning on Himalayan FM". Speakers at home are generally used to listen to songs. You can set the operation of "opening Netease Cloud Music" when Bluetooth is connected to XX speakers. This is actually to automate the operations that you have to repeat every day to achieve the purpose of improving efficiency.

Every day when I come home from work, I will look at what I haven't finished today. You can set the action of "Get Nearby Reminders" when "Connecting Home Wi-Fi".

I am used to driving low-power mode when I go out, and the first thing to do when I go home is to charge. In order to avoid forgetting, you can set "When low battery mode is disabled" and create a reminder of "mobile phone charging". Reminder can be further set to remind me when I get home. This is the result of the combination of shortcut commands and iOS ecology. The self-contained application, mobile phone status and location are all turned on.

If you always forget to punch in after work, you can set "Wait for the alarm clock to stop" to automatically perform the "nail opening" operation. Opening the App should be the simplest operation in the shortcut command, which can automate many repetitive operations. Mobile applications are always described as information islands, and at least at the operational level, automation functions can bring them closer.

Not only mobile phones, but also Apple will launch a shortcut command for Mac.

After the workflow becomes its own shortcut instruction, it can do more operations, but this change is not easy to "see". Apple's biggest change is to change the "trigger condition". In the workflow era, it is active operation, in the iOS 12 era, Siri calls out, and in iOS 13, it supports automation, making the operation a "passive operation".

In addition to the operation of the mobile phone itself, the shortcut command can also set the link between "home automation" and HomeKit. Recently, foreign media reported that Apple will also launch the Mac version of the shortcut command, presumably the connection between Apple devices will be smoother.
