The new Shortcuts app that was introduced in iOS 12 lets you create shortcuts to automate any number of tasks. Here are a handful of good ones to get you started, with the hopes that it gets your creative juices flowing.
The biggest problem for me with the Shortcuts app is that I just couldn’t come up with unique uses for it, but once I went searching for pre-made shortcuts, it got me thinking about the possibilities. Luckily, there are a lot of pre-made shortcuts that you can find, which is especially good news because the Shortcuts app has a pretty steep learning curve if you’re making shortcuts from scratch.

In any case, here are some awesome shortcuts that you might find useful.
Only Show Certain Photos to Friends and Family
We all have photos on our phones that we’d rather not show to other people, but when you have other photos that you do want to show others, you have to be a bit careful. However, this shortcut lets you select specific photos and display them in an isolated slideshow.
It’s a pretty simple shortcut. All you have to do is tap to activate it, and then select which photos you want to show just like you usually would when selecting multiple photos in the Photos app. Once they’re done viewing the photos, they can tap “Done” and they’ll be taken out of the Photos app altogether.
