There can be no doubt that iOS 17.4 is a historical update, is the first time that Apple allows applications to be installed on the iPhone from a store other than the App Store. But this update comes with many more interesting new features, such as podcast transcription or this secret that has just been found and that Apple had saved itself.
This novelty It did not appear among those confirmed by Apple, but as the days went by we have discovered it and it can be very useful for users. Especially if you use the Shortcuts app often.
Shortcuts now have new options
The Shortcuts app is one of the useful tricks of the iPhone, it allows you to do things like schedule a WhatsApp message or change the icons of iPhone apps. And now with iOS 17.4 has added important new features that can be very useful to us.
The first new feature of Shortcuts is Identify physical activity. This function, as you imagine, uncovers the physical activity you are doing. Although the most interesting feature that has come to Shortcuts is Identify the orientation of the iPhone or iPad.
This allows you to use a shortcut when the device orientation is identified to be vertical, horizontal or even face up and face down. Something that can enhance and improve the shortcuts we create with the iPhone. A great feature that goes hand in hand with orientation lock, which allows you to activate or deactivate the rotation of the iPhone screen when entering an app.
Are new shortcut functions are sure to be taken advantage of by many users creating new options that anyone can also download. Creating complex shortcuts is not easy, but fortunately we can download any of them without problems on our iPhone.
