    Having trouble making the "Voice Memos" shortcut. When I speak my activate word it keeps taking me to the Shortcuts App to set up a shortcut.

    Graham: Not sure what the problem could be. Try re-creating it from scratch.

    Thanks so much for the tip with the “Vocal Shortcuts”! Great tip!
    Making a Shortcut in the Shortcuts app is a bit finicky and took my quite a while to fiddle around with it, but creating the Vocal Shortcut to the Shortcut is a breeze.

    I recently had an iPhone 13. I wonder why when I take a photo I get Lensflare.
    I have to fall back on my iphoneXR which avoids the flare.
    Is there any way to stop lens flare ?

    White: Sorry, I don't know. Maybe something wrong with the class over the lens?

    IOS 18 is causing issues with CarPlay. I created 3 vocal shortcuts based on this video. When I got in my car and my iPhone connected, SiriusXM, AM, FM would not work AND my 2025 Honda CRV screen showed that Voice Control was active and it would not let me turn it off. This site displays a variety of issues with CarPlay since updating to IOS 18 > https://discussions.apple.com/thread/255771678?login=true&sortBy=rank&answerId=260826485022. I turned of vocal shortcuts and CarPlay works fine.
