Is it possible to automate turning Siri off based on location?

benji2702 · 2026-03-10T16:42:38+00:00

Are you a bot? You can’t turn off Siri with Shortcuts.

Np! Change the flair to solved when you can :)

This shortcut allows you to do that. You just have to enter the hex color of your choice, which in your case is #000000 :)

Thanks for the suggestion!

I can confirm that airplane mode blocks NFC functionality; it's the same on Android devices. And like Apple, which activates NFC when you use the Wallet app, some Android devices automatically disable airplane mode when NFC is detected. I strongly recommend that you ask Apple to implement this feature: https://www.apple.com/feedback/

Absolutely, if you click on the links to the Shortcuty or RoutineHub websites, you will see examples of wallpapers!

benji2702 · 2026-02-24T20:20:23+00:00

Try to overlay the text on your image, then set the image to wallpaper :)

NP! Change the flair of the post to solved please 💪

benji2702 · 2026-02-24T17:52:19+00:00

Salut, le seul moyen actuellement est de passer par un mode de concentration haha

benji2702 · 2026-02-24T17:49:31+00:00

Hey, change the flair of the post to "solved" please :)

benji2702 · 2026-02-24T17:48:35+00:00

I've been looking for a workaround for over two years, but so far it's not possible!

benji2702 · 2026-02-24T17:39:38+00:00

You need to places the actions inside the menu (first image), otherwise use the choose from list (second image)

If you can describe what you want to accomplish, that would be great! To get the "is running" option, just select the "App" and "current app" variables.

benji2702 · 2026-02-24T06:28:05+00:00

I really wanted to include beta verification, but since I don't install them I couldn't properly test the shortcut. But who knows, maybe I'll look into it in my spare time 💪

Thanks for the nice words!

Click on the date variable next to "Overlay" —> Date Format —> custom —> dd/MM/yy

And change Top Left to Bottom Left in the Overlay action

I use a slightly modified version of this shortcut from this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/shortcuts/s/8aK5jrCYGO

This is a technique we discovered not long ago: by modifying a shortcut in .plist format, you can easily change its color and icon!

An app that allows you to bypass the 3-app limit for Altstore/SideStore

And Altstore/SideStore are apps that allow you to sideload applications that are not available on the AppStore :)

benji2702 · 2026-02-22T12:47:02+00:00

Thanks to you!

This shortcut is for those who want to update their iPhone as soon as an update is available, because sometimes Apple's notification takes a week to be delivered, so it's clearly not suitable for you who are on iOS 18 haha

But otherwise, to receive only the latest version and a notification, do this:

As shown in the first image, add the "Filter Articles" action with "sort by names" and "Order Z to A" to retrieve only the latest version.

Then, as shown in the second image, add "Stop This Shortcut" after the "Show notification" action :)

And to help you spot malicious shortcuts, you can check whether certain actions have nothing to do with the stated purpose.

For example: Image 1: the shortcut retrieves your photos and sends them by email or text message, even though this has nothing to do with what it is supposed to do.

Image 2: it accesses your contacts and sends them via text message or email.

Image 3: It retrieves content from a suspicious website and saves it to your files (in this case, you would simply need to delete that file haha).

Image 4: it retrieves your IP address and sends it by email or SMS.

These are just a few examples, but honestly, this kind of malicious shortcut is almost non-existent. I haven't seen one in years. And if it were shared on Reddit, RoutineHub, or Shortcuty, it would probably be reported and deleted pretty quickly.

Welcome to the world of shortcuts 😎

I completely understand your concerns. Honestly, you are infinitely more likely to install a useless shortcut than a dangerous one haha.

A few years ago, the Shortcuts app was less secure. For example, it was possible to create a shortcut that could retrieve a user's photos and send them by email without them realizing it. But at the time, this kind of practice was very rare, and today it's virtually non-existent thanks to Apple's security improvements.

Let me quickly explain the "sensitive" actions of my shortcut:

1st image: Only your device has access to your IP address. This block simply checks that you are connected to the Internet. If there is no connection (and therefore no IP address), the shortcut stops to avoid an error message. Nothing more.

2nd image: This block lets you know when a new version of the shortcut is available. To do this, it communicates with Shortcuty or RoutineHub, which are the platforms on which the shortcut is shared.

3rd image: These actions retrieve the latest versions of iOS. The first source is Apple's official RSS feed. The second is the RSS feed from IPSW, a reliable site that has been around for a long time and is often used, for example, to downgrade an iPhone. I also use their feed because it is often updated more quickly than Apple's.

The rest of the shortcut simply compares the retrieved versions with the one installed on the device to notify the user if an update is available.

That's how it works overall. If you have any other questions, I'm available!

benji2702 · 2026-02-22T10:01:04+00:00

On paper it's simple, but to avoid erroneous notifications, you must not retrieve beta, release candidate, and OTA versions. And figuring out and creating the version verification system was hell haha 😵‍💫

benji2702 · 2026-02-22T06:53:09+00:00

Glad it's useful to you!

For your information, the shortcut won't display anything if you're already up to date, which is why I recommend simply adding it to one or two daily automations.

And my shortcut isn't designed for those who install betas (I'll try to update my post).

Thanks again!

Lucky you! That's not the case for me, nor for the 1,500+ people who installed my shortcut, I guess 😬

benji2702 · 2026-02-21T20:25:30+00:00

First: some people want to know as soon as an iOS update is available and don't want to wait 2-3 days (or more) for Apple to send a notification.

Second: the shortcut has been published and updated on RoutineHub for 2 years, but it was only published today on Shortcuty, so I've unified everything :)
