Hello Everyone, You know, up until today, I could not fathom why I would ever use the shortcuts apps.
As an F.Y.I., For various reasons, I tend to reboot my beloved 8 Plus, a minimum of once, per day. Also, before rebooting, I close any and all running apps. As I always launch the same three apps at restart, the Watch app, Fit Port, and Over Drive, I decided to give Shortcuts a try. To my amazement, it took only moments to create a simple shortcut that launches all three of these apps, at the same time, by either telling Siri to, "Launch my favorite apps," or by tapping the My Favorite Apps widget located on the Today screen. Very, very nice. Please note that the name of the widget, located on the Today screen, reflects the name of the newly created shortcut. The key to creating this Shortcut is to search for the [Open Apps] action in the Shortcuts app. The rest is truly self explanatory. So, if there are multiple apps that you always launch at any given time for any given reason, try creating your own favorite apps Shortcut. The Shortcuts app, It really does work.
