Yeah, honestly for opening links in apps I’d recommend something like Opener.

The Kimoa Kid posted:I guess it's not "awful" but it just feels very poor from a usability perspective and in no way integrated into the OS. The way it goes about adding a shortcut to the home screen feels like a third party app. Well, that's because technically it is. Apple bought Workflow not too long ago. I'm hoping for better integration in a future 12.x, but it likely won't happen until iOS 13.

It's not awful but it's loving shy of the Activator jailbreak app they're going for.

I used to have a workflow that would copy whatever I was looking at and paste it into a text to one of my contacts. Saved me having to type this particular contact’s name on messages share sheet button. The transition to Shortcuts nuked that workflow and I can’t figure out how to get it back. Copy to clipboard and then clipboard variable in the send message to contact just pasted an entire safari site instead of the the URL, and on an image it copies the image and it’s name for some reason. How do I get back the old way? Edit: somehow THIS is the solution? Fine.

Is it a new Overcast feature that it no longer remembers what podcast I was listening to? Since the app update / iOS12 update when I get in my car it just starts playing the wrong podcast, almost every time.

Actually, it seems to happen to me when I get a phone call and then resume listening to a podcast.

Yeah it'll start playing from the top of my "All Episodes" and not where I was before. Hopefully it gets fixed to be more consistent.

I wish that other apps could take advantage of them. I'd be more likely to use them if I could use them in WhatsApp. I know I can make one and save the video but thats a pain in the rear end.

How do likes and dislikes work in the News app? If I read a story about Trump murdering kids do I “like” the story because this is news I want to see, or do I “dislike” the story because gently caress Trump?

Pretty sure you're liking/disliking based on if it's news you want to see or not. Same premise as if you liked a news post on Twitter about a celebrity dying it doesn't mean that you like the fact the celebrity is dead

For some reason the Outlook app only updates once every 24/48/whothefuckknows hours unless you manually open the app. This becomes an issue when someone moves a meeting on the day of as I use the app for my meeting reminders. Would IFTTT work to open the app a couple of times a day so I can refresh?

Is there a simple app to move photos from the iPhone to a PC or MacBook or even just shuttle them over to google drive or something? I’m a pretty new Mac user and I don’t know how any of this works short of iPhoto and putting all my stuff in the apple cloud.

Not on IAP but on the App Store you (or anyone in the family plan) can click on the profile on the top right and go to Purchased. From there you can browse each member’s purchased apps.

Next easiest ways are to download either Google Photos, Dropbox, or possibly OneDrive. They will all upload your photos to their own cloud services. It’s 2018 nobody plugs their phones into a computer anymore.

I just use Dropbox to upload my photos but the only thing with that is that you have to have the app open or have it running in the background which stops after like two minutes.

Don't you have to actually follow people to see their tweets? News.app gives me the impression that it will tailor news "for you" the more you like/dislike stories. I'm just trying to figure out how to get it to show me news that are relevant to me cause it seems no matter what I do I still get "for you" articles about poo poo like the results of a sportsball game or news about who wore what at the big event last night. I also get a lot of Trump stories and I wan't to like them because the news is relevant to me, but I don't want News.app's AI thinking I actually, you know, like Trump and start pushing alt right articles to me. That last thing actually happened which is why I asked in the first place. I got a "for you" article that I read one paragraph in before I encountered the words of something like "Dr. Blasey Ford is set to commit perjury *wink wink* on Thursday" from some lovely alt right waste of life.

For the news app you can also hit the share button to dislike stories or block a channel altogether without having to open the article and add it to your history, which would probably influence the “this user will open this sort of article” algorithm.

Does anyone else have a problem adding an album or playlist to "Up Next" in the Music app? If I try to add a playlist to Up Next, I just get the prompt to sign up for Apple Music, even though the music is already on the phone. I can add them from the main page (as they're my new albums I added recently), but cannot anywhere else in the app. I'm waiting for the Xr next month before I make a bug report on Apple, if they even let non-devs post those still.

Notifications are delayed. There are some other features in it they removed, I think, but I didn't use them so I don't know what they are. It is still an add-free Twitter feed in chronological order.

It's fine as long as you don't care about seeing who likes your tweets and don't need group DMs. The notifications are still there but they're significantly delayed compared to the stick app. I've heard there's a setting in the official twitter app to turn your timeline back to chronological order with no extraneous bullshit (so and so liked this tweet) so maybe it's fine for regular use but I'm so used to tweetbot I probably won't switch until I absolutely have to.

"Show me the best tweets first" has been there for awhile, but only in the last week or so did they update it so that disabling it also disables the stuff you mention. I would imagine most people itt probably already have it shut off.

Has anyone documented some of the quirks or un-obvious features in shortcuts? For example, I set a shortcut to only accept images, but noticed it was showing up as an option for other kinds of content. Apparently if you use it on a webpage, it just loads all of the images on the page. More interestingly, if you use it on an article (like from an RSS reader) then it seems to take a bunch of screenshots of the article’s content. You can kind of get a feel for how it works by using the content graph, but a lot of features just feel random and “magical”.

Quirk (well, bug I'd say): I have one that’s just “add currently playing song to <name> playlist”. If I run it from the shortcut app (as opposed to a widget), the text says something like “cannot add <completely different song that’s already in that playlist> to playlist” but it still adds the correct song.

I've used it to screen share playing bad phone games to friends on discord and streaming via OBS to twitch-like platforms. It might cost more now or something since I bought it in 2016 according to paypal. I didn't enjoy any free options I was trying to use then, maybe someone will have good suggestions if the price is too steep for you. There is a free trial though.
