This article discusses the use of smart routines, shortcuts and automation apps as it revolutionises the way we navigate our phones to help users save time, reduce repetitive tasks and customise their phone experience.

Unlocking the power of voice commands: Smartphone shortcuts

The voice commands have gone way beyond letting them make a call to a contact or set an alarm. Voice assistants as modern as Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa enable you to use your phone without hands and give a more complex command. Voice commands make it easy to send messages, adjust smart home appliances and dictate notes and play your favourite music.

By utilising voice commands, time spent in browsing menus and applications can be drastically reduced to enable a more fluid experience with the phone, a phone that will adapt to the needs of the user.

Smart routines: Automate your day effortlessly

The real power behind smartphone automation is really in smart routines, that is given objectives that start at a given time or location or other variables. To see the examples you can toggle off alerting when you walk into a conference room and at the bedtime you can switch-on DND and when your phone is tied-up to the Bluetooth of your car it can launch navigation.

These clever routines spare you the hassles of making changes manually and keep you on track on preserving focus and comfort in your day. Android and iOS as the operating systems have a native routine app that is adjustable and simplified; be it a novice user or an advanced user.

Shortcuts: Personalise and accelerate your phone usage

Smartphone shortcuts let you create custom commands and workflows to perform multiple actions with a single tap or voice phrase. In iOS, the Shortcuts application enables the user to use a combination of tasks, such as contacting a person, playing a playlist, setting a reminder, in a single action.

Android customers can do something similar with tools like Google Assistant Routines, or third-party apps. Learning shortcuts will allow you to alter your phone to suit your needs making complex user input simple and easy to use.

Automation Apps: Expanding your phone’s capabilities

Beyond built-in tools, several automation apps extend your device’s functionality. Popular applications such as Tasker on Android or IFTTT (If This Then That) allow the user to deploy custom automation by linking applications and devices through a trigger factor, such as location, application use, or weather condition.

The possibilities are limitless with these automation apps, as it allows one to automatically back-up photos, receive reminders based on location, and even turn smart lights on and off all your own predictable patterns.
