Apple recently started rolling outiOS 12to a bunch of iOS devices, which also meant theShortcuts app was finally made availableon theApp Store. The app, which works quite a lot like IFTTT on Android, allows users to create custom shortcuts for apps and actions that they use the most. The Shortcuts app naturally works with a number of native iOS apps like Contacts, Calendar, Maps, Music, Photos, Camera, Reminders, Safari and Health, but that’s not all.
Quite a few third-party apps have already added support for Siri Shortcuts and we’ve compiled a list of some of the best third-party apps that make use of the new functionality. Here are some of the best third-party apps that support Siri Shortcuts:
