The app offers users the ability to relatively easily create a variety of shortcuts to increase their productivity, make their daily lives easier, control elements of their smart home, or perform all kinds of tasks on their iOS devices. While only a handful of native Apple apps initially offered Siri Shortcuts support, third-party app developers have gradually begun to offer this support as well. This week, Google also added to the list, introducing Siri Shortcuts support to its Gmail iOS application.
