It’s weird that Apple touted the Shortcuts app as one of the key features of iOS 12, but doesn’t install it by default. You have to go to the App Store to grab it. The app lets you create pre-programmed sequences of actions using the built-in functions of your phone and supported apps, and then trigger them with a custom Siri phrase or the tap of a button. You can even add shortcuts as icons on your home screen. You don’t have to make your own shortcuts, either. There’s a big gallery of user-made actions to get you started.
