Apple iOS 27 and Shortcuts app updates

Overview

Apple has released updates for iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, focusing on expanding the capabilities of the Shortcuts application through Apple Intelligence. The initial update introduced the ‘Use Model’ command, allowing users to access real-time information and enhanced intelligence models, alongside over 35 new actions and natural language support for shortcut creation.

Subsequent developments highlighted new notification automation features within iOS 27. This allows any app sending push notifications to trigger automated workflows based on message attributes such as title or body text. Third-party developers have already begun utilizing these capabilities, such as the app Deflector, which enables users to launch shortcuts via the Dynamic Island or Lock Screen Live Activities.
