Apple has added a toggle to the Shortcuts app in iOS 15.4 that lets users disable the notifications that run when they trigger a specific Shortcuts automation. <\/p>\n

\n

Prior to the iOS 15.4 beta, the Shortcuts app issued a notification every time a specific automation shortcut was triggered. Now, Apple has added a toggle making those notifications optional. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As first spotted<\/a> by The Verge<\/em>, users are able to switch off the notifications by hitting a toggle next to a new “Notify When Run” setting. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The new toggle means that specific day-to-day automations in Shortcuts can be made much faster, as demonstrated by Florian Burger, the developer of iPhone<\/a> camera app Fjorden. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

iOS 15.4 Beta allows you to remove the notification (& delay) when running personal automations via Shortcuts<\/p>\n

This means, opening Fjorden (or any other camera app) from the lock screen is now super quick and almost seamless pic.twitter.com\/Ez2JGeVo6l<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

In other words, disabling notifications can make running a shortcut faster. In Burger’s example, opening the Fjorden app from the Lock Screen on an iPhone<\/a> is now “super quick and almost seamless.” <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The caveat to the new toggle is that it only applies to Shortcuts automations, not all Shortcuts. That means some Shortcuts \u2014 such as a shortcut for custom iOS icons \u2014 will still run a pop-up notification every time they’re enabled. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Apple’s upcoming iOS 15.4 update also includes<\/a> a new feature that lets users unlock their iPhones with a mask on via Face ID<\/a> \u2014 even if they’re not wearing an Apple Watch<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
