Apple Expands Shortcuts With New Actions

Apple expanded the Shortcuts app in iOS 26 this year, adding more than 25 new actions and macOS automations. New features include an LLM-based Use Model action that can call Apple Intelligence or ChatGPT, Visual Intelligence, image generation, and many app-specific actions across Mail, Photos, Reminders and more. These additions let users and developers embed model outputs into complex shortcuts and streamline cross-device automation.
