Apple has just released iOS 15.4, and with it comes a number of new features and improvements. One of the most important changes is that the company has added shortcuts to a number of tasks in the operating system. This means that you can easily complete tasks without having to go through the traditional steps. One of the most popular iPhone shortcuts is “Control Center.” This shortcut allows you to quickly access all of your settings, including your music, notifications, and more. You can also access it by pressing “C” on your keyboard. Another popular shortcut is “Camera.” This shortcut allows you to take pictures and videos without having to go through the usual steps. Simply press “C” on your keyboard and then use the arrow keys to navigate through the camera menus.
Currently, when you run a Shortcuts automation, iOS will notify you every time and confirm that you want to run it. There are creative ways to disable the notification, but it still doesn’t feel as automatic as you might like.
However, in iOS 15.4, developer Florian Bürger discovered that you could turn off the notification and confirm that you want to run a Shortcuts automation, making them automatically work. Gone is the extra step of confirming each time. So if you want your phone to do something each time it connects to a new Wi-Fi network, for example, it’ll just happen.
This means, opening Fjorden (or any other camera app) from the lock screen is now super quick and almost seamless 🤩 pic.twitter.com/Ez2JGeVo6l

You’ll need to choose whether to enable this for each automation, but you’ll only need to set it up one time. Additionally, this is only for Shortcuts automation and not all shortcuts. Your shortcuts, such as sending a text or anything else that you do manually, will work as it always has.
Apple hasn’t announced the final release date for iOS 15.4, but between this change and the introduction of Universal Control, we’re plenty excited for this new version of Apple’s OS.
