Shortcuts is the most exciting release of iOS 12.

Every time I run into a recurring task on my phone, I can usually make a shortcut to do it for me. For example, when I get an email saying my build failed, I open it and click “view logs” but need to scroll to the bottom of a very long page to see why the build failed. Now I just run “Scroll to Bottom” [1] and then I’m looking at what previously took a solid 15-20 seconds of scrolling.

I can only imagine how many thousands of hours are lost per day on similar recurring tasks across all mobile users that could be saved with a shortcut. I’m really excited Apple is taking iOS in a direction where anyone can be a developer.
