  1. This is a feature which I initially assumed would be of no interest to me, but having watched the video, it looks as though I’ll be able to create scripts for automating quite a lot of actions which I normally do step by step.

    Everybody so far has rather predictably talked about the selfie aspect, but Gary chose taking multiple pictures as a simple to understand, trivial demonstration of how Shortcuts work. His video inspired me to look at Siri Shortcuts more carefully.
