You Can Now Use Siri Shortcuts On These Third-Party Apps

Siri Shortcuts

Apple recently started rolling out iOS 12 to a bunch of iOS devices, which also meant the Shortcuts app was finally made available on the App 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:

Pandora

The Pandora app has now received support for Siri Shortcuts and it will allow users to play a specific station, playlist or album using a custom shortcut that you can set up within Pandora’s settings section.

    I can’t see any shortcuts in any third party app even if they say it is added and I can see people using it on youtube. There is no third party apps shortcuts in the app shortcuts either.
    Settings -> The app -> Siri & search -> and there is no option “Shortcuts”.

    How do I fix this?
    Iphone 6s and IOS12
