Here's how to supercharge Siri on the iPhone and iPad with a hidden feature you probably don't know about.
It's a new app called "Shortcuts." You can use the app to create all sorts of custom shortcuts that Siri will do when you speak special commands.
If you don't download the app, or activate the Shortcuts, you'd never know all of these new functions existed. Let's change that.Apple's Siri Shortcuts app has a few pre-configured shortcuts that you can already use, like the "Take a photo" option I discussed above. You can create your own, too. You can also edit what the Shortcut does. Tap the X to delete a step, like playing music. Or, tap search at the bottom of the screen to add an action. Choose Podcasts, for example, to automatically begin playing your favorite podcast when you run the "Heading to work" shortcut." Or choose Google News to show the latest headlines.
