Want to use the iPhone to its full potential? Let’s find out together the best shortcuts or commands to automate some operations.
The iPhone is a complete and ready-to-use phone that we can customize and optimize in various ways. The most effective is to use the app Shortcuts on iOS (call Quick Commands in the Italian version of the system), a great tool to simplify many daily activities and save a lot of time.

Another shortcut that we immediately recommend adding to our iPhone is intelligent powerdedicated to all users who struggle to get to the end of the day with a single battery charge and are unable to recharge in the meantime.
This shortcut will activate the low power mode if the battery is less than 25% and will switch to ultra-low power mode less than 5%; in the latter mode we can only make telephone calls, with the Internet deactivated, brightness at zero and Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and mobile data deactivated.
We can customize the percentages at which to trigger the two energy saving thresholds, in order to adapt to our use.

Photography enthusiasts know how annoying it can be to have to remove the background from a portrait photo; without opening complicated apps we can remove background from photos using shortcut Remove Background from Portrait.
The shortcut allows you to immediately edit the photos taken in portrait mode from the iPhone Camera app: just start it, select the correct photo and immediately remove the background, leaving only the outline of the portrait (which we can save as a separate photo or add a new background).

Anyone who takes a lot of iPhone screenshots knows how cumbersome they can be and how much space they can take up; from the Photos app we can directly delete the entire screenshot folder but, if we want to save some screens, we can instead rely on the shortcut CleanUp Screenshots.
With it we will be able to choose which screenshots to keepquickly deleting all the older ones, those that came out badly or that we no longer want to keep in the internal memory of the iPhone, thus recovering internal space for new photos or new videos.
