Apple’s latest version of Shortcuts includes many practical actions for your custom workflows and automations. It even has actions that open menus in Settings. Unfortunately, many menu items, sections, sliders, and toggles are missing — but that’s where URL schemes and deep links come in.
The Shortcuts app has at least 40 Settings-related actions, which you can find under various categories, from the Settings app itself to networking and scripting.
Notable topics include Background Sounds, Color Filters, Device Details, Focus, Text Size, and Zoom. Apple has even added a few more on iOS 17, such as Get Hotspot Password, Set Hotspot Password, Find Cellular Plans, Toggle Cellular Plan, Reset Cellular Data Statistics, Set Data Roaming, Set Default Line, and Set Left/Right Balance.
What’s great about these is that you can have your shortcuts change settings for you, whether it’s something you code into the workflow directly or ask the shortcut’s user to input. It’s pretty impressive, and I hope Apple adds more in upcoming updates.
If you often open multiple tabs and struggle to keep track of them, Tabs Reminder is the solution you need. Tabs Reminder lets you set reminders for tabs so you can close them and get notified about them later. Never lose track of important tabs again with Tabs Reminder!
