In addition to running the simple shortcuts suggested by Siri, you can use the Shortcuts app to add ready-made or custom shortcuts to your devices. The app lets you combine multiple steps across multiple apps to create powerful task automations.
Actions represent the best features of the apps on your Apple devices, broken out into smaller parts. With hundreds of actions, there are a variety of individual steps you can chain together to build shortcuts.
When you tap a collection name, all shortcuts in that collection are shown in a grid array. Each shortcut is represented by a rounded rectangle that has a title, an icon, and a color. Tap a shortcut once to run it, or tap to see the actions contained inside.
Is someone able to explain how the homepod mini runs shortcuts? It is supposed to be able to ( -gb/guide/shortcuts/apd07c25bb38/ios). However, more often than not, mine fails with the "hmmm, I didn't hear back" error message.
I had a good chat with apple support. Hard one to troubleshoot as the issue was intermittent. We thought the issue was multiple hotspots (and dual-band hotspots), but I have proved this works fine by forcing my iphone and homepod on to different SSIDs, but same network.
