You probably know it,Siri doesn't
cannot launch third-party applications. In other words, this
means it is not possible to tell your favorite assistant:
“launch me twitter” and see the twitter application launch. YOU
you can always tell him but he might say something like
“sorry I’m not allowed to do that”.
Thanks to a little trickit is possible to work around this and
launch third-party apps more easily with the help of Siri(il
you will nevertheless have to press the screen to finalize the launch), it is
the subject of our new tutorial aftermore than 15
seen in recent weeks:
To succeed,you have to start by going to the
contacts. Then createa new file and call it like
you want it, I chose “shortcuts”.
In this sheetyou will only enter URLs according to the template
following: to launch Instagram, for example,enter
the website fieldinstagram://, to twitter enter twitter:// and
so on. it is possible to createspecific links for
Facebookfb:// will launch the application when fb://photos takes you
directly to your photos.
Once your file(s) have been created, you no longer have
what hasask Siri to show them to youand press the
line corresponding to the desired action or app.
For those who are getting by a little herel’iPhone URL Schemes wiki
pagewho can give you ideas for shortcuts and
which you will also find lots of links for the Facebook app.
