Today is Global Accessibility Awareness Day and I’m really pleased to see that Apple has updated the Shortcuts gallery to highlight some Shortcuts targeted at solving some of the problems people face every day. These shortcuts include:
- Speak Brush Teeth Routine
- Mood Journal
- Special Day Countdown
- Do Not Disturb timer
There are 13 of these shortcuts in total, and it just goes to show how technology can be helpful for everyone, but in some cases it can make a massive difference.
These shortcuts are available in the Shortcuts app, in the gallery, it should be the first item featured at the top.
I’m hoping this is a preview of what’s to come with iOS 13.
I mean how awesome would it be to control the accessibility settings from shortcuts or literally everything in the settings app…
I can see a few useful shortcuts in that list but many appear to be just fluff. Disclaimer: I’m not the target audience so people with accessibility issues may feel differently.
