![]() Again, pick "text" go all the way to the right and pick "done" and it should display whatever you typed in the text action. Your "text" action should already be there, as well as select variable, clipboard, date etc. but again, there's a bar above the keyboard. You *can* actually type here, but it's got the same problem as the "show alert" action, in that it's not a standard edit box. Double tap and you'll get the keyboard again. If you flick down it'll say "edit, result". If it doesn't get filled in, or you clear the variable, it'll be empty. If you flick down so it says "edit result, text" then double tap, you'll get a sheet that let's you clear the variable and change its type and things like that. Hopefully, this will now say "show, text", meaning it's already going to show the result of the text action above it. When you're finished entering your text go all the way over to the right on that bar and it'll say "done". ![]() This should be a standard text box, but you should notice that the keyboard has a bar above it, with things like "select variable", and "ask each time" etc. Double tap on that, and add any text you like. Past that, it'll say remove action from Shortcut, which is self-explanatory, ☺️. Flicking past that it'll say text, which is the action name. There'll be a thing that says "show options menu" which let's you do things like copy and paste and duplicate. ![]() Have the first action you add be the text action. This is a little tricky for me, since I edit most of my Shortcuts on an iPad, and my iPhone is now so old that it's on 15 and not 16, ☺️, but let's try a quick example.Ĭreate a new Shortcut. Let me know if any of this helps and if you have any other questions. You'd need to be more specific about which ones don't work and why for me to help any more, I'm afraid. Notes got completely overhauled this time, for example, so those Shortcuts probably have to be edited. Title and enable cancel get expanded in show alert, for example.Īs for Shortcuts that don't work, that can be a lot of things, often removed or rewritten actions. If you can't find a parameter that should be in an action, it's probably under more in the VO actions rotor. Just remember to delete the original one after you copy. Drag and drop can be a bit flakey, so try using the options menu next to the action and copy and paste the action instead if you have to. Actually, from what I can see, if you don't say anything to show alert, it defaults to cancel, so if it's at the end of the Shortcut it shouldn't matter anyway.Īs for some general advice for editing Shortcuts, I tend to avoid group mode in the Shortcuts app, or at least I did in 15, since I found it confusing. Siri likes that action better than show alert anyway, and you don't have to say anything for Siri to go past it. It might be worth writing to Apple Accessibility with a detailed description of the issue, since that control probably exists in other actions.Īs for a work around, my suggestion would be to use the text action for the message and then use show results to display it. You can see what's there, though, if you go up and look at the action. It looks like the show alert action doesn't actually have a text box, at least not one Voiceover can identify. Ok, this is kind of a vague post, so my answers are going to be a bit vague too. What is going on here? Any hints or suggestions on working with and editing shortcuts using Voiceover in iOS 16 would be appreciated. Many of my shortcuts used to run fine under iOS 14 and 15 but now they are not working properly and I can't even edit them! Now when I run these same actions using Siri, rather than prompting for spoken input, the shortcuts show "Yes" and "No" buttons on the screen that one has to activate manually. ![]() ![]() When I try to edit the text to be displayed when the shortcut is run, a keyboard appears on the screen, but I cannot find any edit box in which I can use actions such as "Select" or "Select All".Īlso, when I run actions using Siri that I previously created using the "Show Alert" function, when run, the Show Alert function would say something like "Ok or Cancel", and then I would speak "OK" or "Cancel" to finish the shortcut. I have created plenty of shortcuts using Voiceover on my phone, but I am having a lot of difficulty using the Shortcuts app and editing shortcuts in iOS 16.įor example, many of my custom shortcuts have the "Show Alert" function. ![]()
