achine learning already makes your
devices proactively helpful, a prime
example being the app suggestions
in Spotlight that save you searching. Your
devices work out what to show there based on
what you do and when. However, iOS 12 takes
this to the next level by suggesting much more
specific actions you can ask apps to do.
If you often call someone, request a route
and start a playlist on your way home, your
device may recognise that. You’ll start to see
shortcuts for things like these on the Lock
screen and in Spotlight, saving you having to
unlock your device and jump between apps.
You can control where shortcuts appear
