Apple iPhone and iPad users can set up and run shortcuts from a widget. With the help of the widget you will be able to see current information from your favourite apps at a glance. As per the information provided by Apple, you can run shortcuts from the Shortcuts widget or from Siri Suggestions widget on the Home Screen of your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch. As the name suggests a shortcut provides a quick way to get things done with your apps, with just a tap or by asking Siri.

Also, Shortcuts can automate a wide variety of things — for example, getting directions to the next event on your Calendar, moving text from one app to another, generating expense reports and more. Based on how you use your Apple devices, your app usage and your browser, email and messaging history, Siri suggests simple, useful shortcuts that you can quickly tap to run. Once you create a shortcut, you can activate Siri, then say the shortcut's name to run it.
