This is what Workflow changed to?
- moltar 8y agoYes, but it’s way more powerful and integrated now.
- adtac 8y agoUnfortunately it requires Siri to be enabled even if the shortcut itself doesn't use it (like when I want to trigger it with touch). I've disabled Siri on my phone and watch because I never use it and there's a massive battery improvement when I disable it; the old Workflow app used to work without Siri, but Shourtcut requires it apparently :(
- applecrazy 8y agoInteresting comment on the battery impact of Siri. Did you notice improvements when you turned off Siri entirely or just the "Hey Siri" functionality? I find it quite odd that Siri would take up battery even when not running (given that "Hey Siri" is disabled).
- adtac 8y agoI haven't tried partially disabling Siri (always completed disabled it or fully enabled everything), but I thought the "Hey Siri" feature worked only when plugged in? Maybe I'm confusing it with a different feature.
- r00fus 8y agoThat was an iOS9 limitation.

- selectodude 8y agoThat was a phone limitation. The iPhone 7 had the hardware for always on listening.
- mattrad 8y agoSorry, that's incorrect. Shortcuts are available independent of Siri being enabled - I've just checked this by disabling Siri on my phone.
- djrogers 8y agoThis is an app that takes advantage of a feature of the app that was spawned from Workflow. Workflow did not have the Siri Shortcut functionality that was added in iOS 12
- shagie 8y agoYep. It even imported my old workflows into it on my first launch.
