iOS 12 - shortcuts (self.Blind)
submitted by Warthil
This feature could be pretty cool. It will allow creation of custom Siri commands using a process that sounds like automator for Mac OS. Multiple actions can be created using one command.

Yeah, this seems so cool! Might actually make Siri as useful as my Google Home. Still not going to spend the $$$ on Apple's HomePod, though.

Overall I think Siri has lagged behind google home. Though I don't use Siri for much more than current weather outside and quickly opening apps on my phone or MacBook. I may use it more after iOS 12. The HomePod does not really interest me either.

I should also add that I use siri for simple purchases to twitter. It took a little fiddling to set it up but Siri can be made to post to twitter.

Could you give an example or two?
Warthil [OP] 4 points 5y ago
The example they gave was someone activating Siri and saying heading home. It would text someone a message saying they were on their way, open apple maps, change the temperature at home and start playing NPR radio.
I could see it being cool for repeated tasks. For example it could be a more general going out. It could text someone. Tell the weather outside. Put the phone on do not disturb. open gps enabled map software all with one voice command. Basically a Siri activated macro that will do several actions based upon one voice command.
