Along with iOS 12, came Apples brand new app named Shortcuts. Well, even though it isn't entirely brand new, Shortcuts is simply a rechristened and more efficient variant of Workflow.

If you wish to insert any of the Shortcuts given below to your iPhone or iPad running iOS 12, then hit the Add link and then tap on Add Shortcut. Ensure that you are accessing the Shortcut in mobile Safari browser, or else you may encounter errors.

You may also see the steps in the Shortcut before you add it to your iPhone, in order to understand how to works.

Here are the seven most useful Shortcuts that will revolutionalize your iPhone.

1. Check Spelling

While autocorrect is handy, it fails to detect and correct all the typos and errors made while typing. Just copy any section of text from whatever application you are using and paste it to the Check Spelling shortcut. All the spelling mistakes will get corrected.

2. Amazon Price History

Often people like to browse things online, without the intention of buying them immediately. Well, you can use Amazon Price History to check any product's price history. You can view the product in the Safari browser or Amazon app, and then Share the link via Shortcuts.

3. Do Not Disturb Timer

The new Do Not Disturb mode settings include an option for setting custom Do Not Disturb times. Upon running the Do Not Disturb Timer, you shall be prompted to choose minutes or hours, and then you can type the amount of time you require Do Not Disturb to be enabled.

4. Intelligent Power

If you are someone who keeps agonizing over the dying battery life, then you should use this Shortcut. Intelligent Power uses the present battery percentage, compared it with the preset settings and then customizes the device's performance to make the most out of the remaining battery.

5. Install Main Apps

Scouring the App Store to find and install all the major applications is one of the most tiring tasks while setting up an iOS 12 device. Install Main Apps is a Shortcut that allows users to enter the name of the applications they need the most. After that, this Shortcut will provide links to all the listed apps in the App Store so that users can install them easily.

6. Time Machine

Is your family coming over soon? Well, you can relive old memories by looking at the Camera Roll. With the help of Time Machine, you can see the pictures snapped in your device a year ago. If you make some changes, then you can even look up pictures dating more than a year ago.

7. Download File

If you have an iOS device, then you must be aware that downloading files is not a cake walk. Download File Shortcut allows you to share a link to the file. After that, Shortcuts will download the file, and then you can choose where you wish to save it.
