Make It Easier for Casual Users…

While incredibly powerful, Shortcuts isn’t the easiest app for casual users. It’s fairly difficult to create a shortcut that’s actually useful. Sure, there are plenty of third-party, user-created shortcuts out there — but allowing users to create their own more easily would be an improvement, too.

Apple could fix this by trying to educate casual users on Shortcuts, whether through how-to videos or built-in app tutorials. Or, Apple could allow users to easily create shortcuts via Siri. Imagine just asking the digital assistant to create a simple workflow, and then having it guide you through a simple creation process.
