In iOS 17, users can create shortcuts to quickly access, for example, transcribing audio files to text, clear alarms, scan documents, and even start a Time Machine backup. These enhancements improve automation capabilities, making daily tasks easier.
New commands include:
-
Convert audio to text: Convert audio files to text.
-
delete alarms: Remove specific alarms from the Clock app.
-
Scan a document: Capture and save images in the Files app.
-
Start stopwatch: Start the timer with the stopwatch.
-
Set the access point password: Set the access point password.
Additionally, existing functions have been improved. For example, the Set Timer feature can now start a new timer even if it’s already running, and the Take Photo feature is now more robust when taking multiple photos in a row.
