Shortcuts app has been updated with new actions for Apple Books and switching between wallpapers on iOS to deliver improved reading and personalization experiences.

Users can set use an action to create shortcuts that interact with apps and content and content and service on the internet and an automation shortcut is triggered by an event rather than manually for the “automated shortcut run when you arrive or depart, when you change a setting on your iPhone, at a time of day, and much more.”
