How can I use Siri Shortcuts?
Each time you access an article, it is automatically donated as a Siri Shortcut. Siri learns your routines and can suggest articles on the Lock screen or in Search.
You can also run shortcuts by recording a personal phrase. On your iOS device, go to Settings > Siri & Search > All Shortcuts. There you will find all donated Shortcuts. Tap + to record your personalised phrase, which you then can use to run this shortcut.
In addition, all shortcuts are also available in Apple's Shortcuts app. When creating a custom shortcut, you can find them under Search > Apps > Articles or by searching for a specific article title.
What can I do if Siri is not working?
Siri and Shortcuts are only supported on devices running iOS 12 or later.
Verify that Siri is enabled by going to Settings > Siri & Search. Toggle either Listen for "Hey Siri" or Press Side Button for Siri to enable Siri on your device.
Also make sure you granted Articles + permission to share data with Siri. Check the Use with Siri switch in Settings > Apps > Articles > Siri.
If Siri does not recognize your phrase, try to emphasize it slowly or correct it manually. After some time, Siri will learn to better understand your intended invocation.
