All right, so welcome.
So you know what time of year it is right?
It's time for our rival game and so
you know how lots of people cover up their letters with Red tape in real
life as well as the use like the emoji to cover up all M's, right.
So I wanna show you how to do that automatically, using the shortcuts app.
So let's go over to the Shortcuts App.
The Shortcuts App is an app that allows you to build lots of
processes to basically put the computing power
kinda back in your hands with a little Code that you design, right?
So let's do this really quickly, really easily though, to change all of our M's
into that, that red emoji, so I'm going to go ahead and hit the plus sign.
And that's how I start building my new shortcut.
So I'm gonna go ahead and hit the meatball menu next to where it says new shortcut,
and I'm gonna go ahead and give it a name.
All right, now if I wanna change the color, right, I could do that as well.
I could, maybe it looks like someone's playing football, cool, I can do that.
But what I need to do for,
I also need to show it in my Share Sheet down by the seashore, all right?
There we go.
Now what we'll also do is a look to select all and
I'm actually going to then make sure text in rich text, it can share from those.
So that is what that looks like.
There.
Perfect.
Now, the next thing that I'm going to do is I need to now
actually set up my different blocks, right?
So I can use different apps or different functions for
different apps to essentially make almost a mini app using Shortcuts App.
So, but here, I'm going to actually just start with a simple replace text function.
I'm going to go ahead and drag it in.
Alright, so I want to make all my M's right,
I want to make them into that emoji.
Perfect.
Now I want to go to show more.
And I don't want to be case sensitive because I want to do both uppercase and
lowercase M's.
Okay, now once it takes the text that I have, I do then wanna to
then copy it to my clipboard.
So, I'm gonna go ahead and search over here, copy to clipboard, right, and
there are so many different things that you can do with this app.
There we go. And that's all we need to do here.
Now it is done.
I can press play, but it hasn't accepted anything, so we are good to go.
So, I'm gonna go ahead and go back to say wherever that text is.
Alright, so now what I could do, I could select the text,
by holding it, select all and then I'm gonna go to share.
Alright and then see here have said Beat TTUN right up there, I could go ahead and
press that. It shows me that it ran as you saw a thing pop up from the top.
Now what I can just do is paste right on top of there.
And there have created that shortcut to change all the M's to that x.
Now, what I could also do, and I can do this with any M right.
What I can also do, is say if I have a song
lyrics. So let's go ahead and delete that.
All right, now you can see here I have lyrics from one of my favorite songs in
the 90s, MMMbop, right?
So I could do this with anything.
So I'm gonna go ahead and now that I have my shortcut,
this would be a lot of work right?
Select double tap.
Alright share, beat the school up north, that team up north.
Alright and then I can just go ahead and paste and it goes ahead and puts it in for
me. Alright, so now I've shown you how to do this, go ahead and do this to yourself.
What I also challenge you to do is actually to make it better or
do it differently using the shortcuts app.
If you do figure out a way to do it differently or
better probably go ahead and share that with me below.
Thanks. Go Bucks!
