Shortcuts are one of the best iOS tools: automations that allow us to do almost everything with the phone without requiring that we have programming knowledge. In addition, in iOS 15 we can install third-party shortcuts without minor problem, something that was not so easy in previous versions.
We have looked for some of the best shortcuts for your iPhone, so that you can get the most out of it. You have to keep in mind that iOS 15 has been released just two weeks ago, so the shortcuts are still being adapted and they may give a problem. However, you can try the ones that we have put on this list and, as the updates go by, they will work better and better.
WiFi and mobile data
Although we have shortcuts in the control center, we are going to teach you an even more efficient way to control WiFi and mobile data on your iPhone. Using this shortcut, you can activate the WiFi while deactivating the data, and vice versa, so that both functions are never active. This will allow us great energy savings and that we do not have the two options unintentionally active.
The control center does not turn off these options, but temporarily disables them, so the savings are not as great as we think. If we do it through the shortcut, we are really turning them off.

The best saving mode
With this shortcut you can configure the saving mode better than ever. You can configure in what percentage it is activated, so that it is not only from 20%. In the same way, you can activate a second saving mode, which will reduce the brightness and disable some functions of the iPhone so that we use the least possible battery.

YouTube PiP
With this shortcut you can use the PiP mode of YouTube and other applications, even if you do not have paid for the premium version. Requires installing third-party apps to work, but it is totally worth it, since it is a native iOS feature that cannot be fully exploited many times. To use it, when we are watching a YouTube video, we will click on share, the shortcut will open and that’s it.

Create your own wallpaper
Wallcreator is a super shortcut that allows us to create a random wallpaper or choosing us the colors. In this way, we can change the wallpaper very quickly without having to install apps or search for the wallpaper we want in a repository for minutes.

Create a QR of your WiFI
With this great shortcut you can create a QR code of your WiFi in a matter of a second. This code can be used by both your contacts with Android and those with iPhone. When scanning it, it will take them directly to your WiFi network so they can join, without having to give them the password every time they come.
Flush the water out of your iPhone
This shortcut will put a sound at full volume on your iPhone so that, by vibrating the device, you can remove the remains of water and dust from the speaker of your iPhone. It is practically essential to do it as a maintenance method for your iPhone.

Just as we can share the WiFi using a QR code, we can share a phone number using the same method. Just have that number handy and run the shortcut, so we can share it quickly, without having to dictate the phone to another contact, send the contact and so on.

Download photos and videos from any platform
With this shortcut you can download videos from YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Currently it gives some errors since iOS 15 is very recent, but it works with beta 15.1, so it will work as soon as there is a stable version of iOS 15.1. Download it to have it already saved on your iPhone.

Schedule messages
This shortcut allows you to schedule messages in the messages app for later. Like some shortcuts, it still gives some problems with iOS 15, but it will be fixed soon so that we can continue using it. The shortcut allows you to choose who to send a certain message to at an exact date and time.

Delete duplicate photos
This shortcut delete photos that we have in duplicate, in case we have downloaded the same file twice. It does not work with similar photos, but with duplicate files, which are completely unnecessary memory, so it will not delete any photos you need.

Check if your microphone works
With this shortcut you can check if your microphone is working correctly, a test that should be done if we have doubts about its operation. It is capable of detecting what we are saying to show it on the screen, a marvel.
