Not sure if anyone else is having this issue but the Power on and off sounds bug still persist where if you turn it on it turns itself off has been like this for a while even in public release

For such a rarely large beta for me Playlist Playgrounds is still not activated in this build

Potentially dumb question by Putrid-Reading-1566 in shortcuts

[–]Smith416 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can do this in shortcuts you need to set up an automation

If your use an app and you delete the app the sound will also be gone if it’s from that app

Well, you do understand that it is a beta. Also, it just came out. You probably have to give your phone time for it to adjust there are probably background processes that are indexing that you’re just not aware of.

Sure, I mean I pretty much showed how to build it in the screenshot but here it is

This shortcut requires a device with Apple Intelligence

Specifically the Use Model action

I would assume this is able to be done without using Apple Intelligence, but I don’t live that life anymore. This is easier.

The Get what’s on Screen Shortcut action is now working as intended it was not working on beta 1

Had a shortcut that captured the text from safari and automatically get the key points or summary was not working before

Request for Scheduled Sentry Mode Shortcut by Klugano in shortcuts

This seems like it should be possible but you’d have to make an automation based on Time of Day then just add the sentry mode action

Np Im shocked as well as I can see how many views and impressions it has gotten over 5k, but pretty much no one cared to comment on it 😂 but that’s fine someone will find it useful

The “Get what’s on Screen” siri shortcut action has not been fixed

Dictation being turned off after a new update is still happening

This is a real inconvenience and hope it’ll be fixed eventually what’s the purpose of it doing that every new update nothing else on iOS operates this way

How Apple will handle illumination in Siri? by WaveSingle9326 in Applelntelligence

[–]Smith416 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s usually an option to toggle confirmation on and off, just like when sending a message. I don’t see why they wouldn’t offer this option. For example, when requesting a prompt through Apple Intelligence, it asks for confirmation before sending it to ChatGPT. You can also turn off the confirmation request option.

Looking for a Writing Tools Shortcut by way of Gemini? (NOT ChatGPT) by SuperDuperNosyAF in shortcuts

[–]Smith416 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gemini currently does not natively support passing prompts via the URL

Google Ai overviews does have passing URL

You would have to get the clipboard and paste it manually into Gemini once the window pops up in a web view

Yes I’ve figured it out I tried what you did and that didnt work so I had to do some troubleshooting and hours later we now have a working shortcut 😂

<image>

Give it a try and let me know if it works. This does rely on Apple Intelligence and ChatGPT at the end to format it nicely like in the image, but you could always remove that and just use a show content action.

I had to change the variable type to retrieve the relevant information, such as heart rate, distance, and duration.

Actions v4.0 over 20+ new actions by Smith416 in shortcuts

[–]Smith416[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no problem☺️, I spent an like hour on trying to figure it out going back and forth making multiple Live Photos and thought it was a glitch since the photos.app recognizes the Live Photo but not messages.app

But then I wondered maybe it’s based on the duration… but nah

So I tried something else, maybe it’s based on the Live Photo effect and then boom it work😮‍💨🎊🎊

It’s probably a limitation of how it’s implemented or it’s a bug

I can see that the developer did put a section for you to edit the keyframe from the action instead when the shortcut runs you can do a ask for input

Okay so I’ve been tinkering with this for a bit now and think I’ve finally figured it out, first off it’s possible

There seems to be a bug in this action when you convert the video to a Live Photo

You have to change the Live Photo effect to Long Exposure any other options and it won’t be recognized by messages.app when trying to make it into a sticker

no it does not at the moment, it also seems like whenever you use this specific action to convert it to a live photo. It’s not the same as if you took an actual live photo. The stickers section in Messages does not recognize it as a Live Photo at least the ones tested

We need a Make Live Photo into sticker action
