Shortcuts
Matthew Kasternakis
What is a Shortcut? Shortcuts on iOS are mini programs that can help you with many daily routines. These are some of my favorite shortcuts that I uploaded here for you to use!
To ensure these shortcuts all work as expected make sure you have notifications for the following apps turned on:
Shortcuts
Reminders
Messages
Every Shortcut has Release Dates and Update Logs at the beginning of their code. To access the code for a shortcut, open the shortcuts app and press the button with the 3 dots at the top right side of the shortcut. You will need to do this for shortcuts that require Additional Setup.
If you have any questions or requests for shortcuts please contact me. Thanks!

Elephants v.4.0: 12/24/22
Ever wanted to spam your friends phone for whatever reason. Well Elephants is the perfect shortcut. The concept originated when a worker at Disney repeatedly made the same joke over and over about Elephants. Now you can either spam that Elephant quote or your own custom quote to whoever you want!
