Pavel Jelic With the arrival of iOS 13, we got a brand new Shortcuts app on our iPhones. Using this application, various task sequences can be created to simplify daily operations. A little later, Apple also added Automation to this application, i.e. again some sort of task sequence, which, however, starts automatically after a certain condition occurs. Users can set virtually anything within automation. Below we take a look at a list of 5 great automations for iPhone that you might like. For each automation, remember to disable the Ask Before Running option at the end, if possible. Let's get straight to the point.
