Most TVIs are itinerant and often cover schools that have chosen different types of devices. In fact, running the shortcut from the library is so fast, I’ve noticed that saving the final image to Photos actually takes more time than finishing execution of the entire shortcut.Educators are expected to be up-to-speed on all types of technology additionally, TVIs need to know mainstream technology and assistive technology. In my tests, I’ve found running the shortcut from the main Library view of the Shortcuts app to be the fastest experience: because the shortcut editor is closed, the app doesn’t need to show you any animations, and the shortcut can frame and stitch images – even for dozens of devices – in a couple of seconds. No matter how you trigger it though, the shortcut will always open the Shortcuts app to avoid memory limitations inherent to extensions on iOS.

At the end of this post, you’ll find two versions of the shortcut: one that can frame iOS, watchOS, and macOS devices, and another that only supports iOS and watchOS if you don’t care about Mac screenshots, you’ll see that the iOS-only one does a better job at filtering screenshots.Īs with the original shortcut, you can start running this one from the widget, action extension (if you’re passing images as input through the share sheet), or Siri. Unfortunately, in order to support macOS screenshots, I had to keep using the width-based ‘Find Photos’ action as Shortcuts doesn’t recognize Mac screenshots if you only use ‘Is a Screenshot’ as a filter.

The new list of conditions to find screenshots from multiple devices.īecause the shortcut is now checking for about a dozen different width values, it’s possible that the photo picker may present you with old photos intermixed with screenshots if those photos have the same width of, say, an iPad Pro screenshot. This allows the shortcut to correctly separate Plus-sized screenshots from Max-sized ones.

For devices that produce screenshots with the same width but different height counts (such as the iPhone 8 Plus and XS Max), there are additional conditions to check for the height parameter as well. The main change in the Apple Frames shortcut is a longer lists of conditions that checks for the width of each screenshot the app needs to find in Photos.

So, once again: you don’t have to configure anything here: just download the shortcut and start using it. While I’ve seen alternative versions of my iPhone XS Frames shortcut based on downloading image assets and manually saving them to iCloud Drive, I prefer my zero-configuration approach as it’s more elegant and user-friendly.

In updating the shortcut to support a variety of Apple devices, I knew I was going to run into more aggressive memory limitations on iOS 12, but I wanted to respect one key concept: you can install and start using this shortcut without any configuration needed because every device frame is baked into the shortcut itself as an encoded image.

As was the case with the original, this shortcut can either frame individual screenshots or groups of screenshots if it’s dealing with multiple screenshots at once (even from different devices), the shortcut will combine the framed versions into a single composite image.Ī composite image created with the Apple Frames shortcut. The new Apple Frames shortcut can apply device frames to screenshots taken on the following devices:įor iOS devices, the shortcut supports both portrait and landscape orientations. The underlying techniques used by this shortcut are still the same, so let’s jump straight into what’s changed from the original XS Frames one. Well, at least most of the current ones that the company is still selling.

After two weeks spent rebuilding the shortcut and asking Silvia to prepare several more templates, I’m happy to re-introduce my shortcut as the new and improved Apple Frames – a comprehensive custom shortcut to frame screenshots taken on every Apple device. When I published my iPhone XS Frames shortcut two weeks ago, I noted that my goal was to eventually support screenshots and device templates from other Apple devices, starting with the Apple Watch and MacBook Pro.
