Users who use Apple's Shortcuts feature report huge speed improvements after upgrading to iOS 14.6. Some complex macros are said to run twice as fast as under iOS 14.5.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As mentioned in a thread on Reddit<\/a> highlighted, Shortcuts users are seeing speed improvements when running automations that involve multiple actions. For example, one user who created a shortcut with 700 actions for scraping websites said the operation now successfully completes in 13 seconds. Before iOS 14.6, the same shortcut took about 30 seconds to run. Other operations, including Apple's own system settings, have also received a boost, users say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortcuts feel faster on iOS 14.6<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

As 9to5Mac notes, the improvements are only apparent when it comes to Shortcuts, which contain a variety of actions that number in the hundreds. That said, automations that normally take a second or less to complete should feel a bit snappier. Apple didn't specify any changes to the Shortcuts backend in the iOS 14.6 update description. However, the company does point to the usual unnamed performance improvements. Shortcuts debuted in 2018 as a visual scripting app based on a latticework created by Apple Purchase Workflow. The app lets users create powerful macros that can be invoked within iOS or via Siri. (Photo by Denys Prykhodov \/ Bigstockphoto)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
