Vocal Shortcuts in iOS 18: The Good, The Bad, & The Amazing

Vocal Shortcuts in iOS 18 are awesome (when they actually work!)

In this video I cover everything you need to know (the good, the bad, & the amazing) to get started using this new Vocal Shortcuts feature on your iPhone. (And no, you don't need a new iPhone 16 in order to use them.)

Because they can be a bit inconsistent in voice recognition, I don't recommend using the Vocal Shortcuts to open apps that you constantly use, but they can be really great for highly specific mini-workflows that you use periodically throughout the week.

In the coming weeks I'll be delving into the actual Apple Shortcuts app (and the details of how to build the Shortcuts featured in today's video and other ones I use all the time), so be sure to subscribe to the channel to watch that soon 👉    / @jaykaslo  

And I'll also be offering free downloads of my Apple Shortcuts on my Substack, so be sure to subscribe if you want in on all of that (and more!) 👉 https://jaykaslo.substack.com
