Overview of Shortcuts Version 8
The latest updates to Shortcuts introduce several new features across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, watchOS, and visionOS, optimizing the user experience significantly. Notably, the action groups have undergone a reorganization that enhances usability; similar actions are now grouped together logically rather than being presented in an arbitrary alphabetical order. This change improves accessibility for users, making it easier to locate commonly used actions and encouraging greater engagement with the app. Also noteworthy is the introduction of 'pins' to replace the favorites feature, allowing users to mark important actions for faster access, further streamlining workflows.
