The Shortcuts function is one of the functions that Apple released a few years ago, but it has not been able to reach all users and it is not very well known. However, it has some very useful features that can make you get much more out of your iPhone. In this post we leave you some of these functions related to listening to music.
Apple Shortcuts is a very useful application, but one that is unknown to many users. For these reasons it is convenient to highlight some of its most outstanding functions . For example, enjoy your music in a different way. All thanks to a simple shortcut that is already configured at the factory, and you only have to start it up.
The best shortcuts for music
If you want to start using Shortcuts, a good way to start making contact can be with the shortcuts created for music. They are simple and you can configure them in a few steps. This way you can access your songs, play games and interact with the Music app. Here are some of the shortcuts you can do:
- Music to wash your hands: from Apple Shortcuts you can accompany your hand washing with music. With the Music for Washing Your Hands shortcut, you’ll start playing a random song from the ones you save in your Library for at least 20 seconds , long enough to wash your hands.
- Music Quiz: With the Music Quiz shortcut you can bring back this game that came in the first iPod models, which is programmed through 46 different actions. Basically songs that you save in your Library will play. You will have to guess which one it is. To do this you will see several options that include artist or group and name of the song. You will have to press the correct option . The game consists of five rounds, but you can configure it to your liking before activating it.
- Shortcuts with Shazam: it is one of the most practical applications, since it detects almost all the songs that are playing and allows you to create a playlist with songs discovered on television, on the street or at the movies. As an app purchased by Apple, Shazam allows you to directly add detected songs to an Apple Music playlist. You’ll find this option in the Shazam for iOS settings. If you are a Spotify user, in that case, either create the playlist manually or go to Apple Shortcuts and, specifically, the Shazam to Spotify Track shortcut.
- Shazam Shortcut: By default, when Shazam detects a song, it saves it to your history and, if enabled, adds the song to an Apple Music playlist. But with the Shazam shortcut you can do more things, such as automatically play that song once discovered and even share it on social networks or with other applications. You can customize the shortcut on your own.
These are just some of the shortcuts you can do with your iPhone and the music app. Keep in mind that it is intended for the Apple app. If you’re using another music app, you’ll need to find other shortcuts if they’re available.
