Shortcuts, Siri, and Action Button

Introducing iOS Shortcuts

Taking quick capture a step further, Whisper Memos now supports iOS Shortcuts. That means you can start recording with a tap, a hardware button, or a voice command.

Create and test the shortcut

• Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone.
• Create a new shortcut, search for Whisper Memos, and choose Start recording.
• Name it, save it, and test it right from the Shortcuts app.

If you want it available on Apple Watch too, long-press the shortcut, open Details, and enable Show on Apple Watch.

Hook it up to Action Button

On iPhone 15 Pro and Apple Watch Ultra, you can assign the Action Button to your new shortcut for one-press recording.

Use Back Tap

If your phone doesn’t have an Action Button, you can still map your shortcut to double-tap on the back of the device in Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Back Tap.

Record with Siri

With your phone unlocked, you can simply say Hey Siri, start recording and Whisper Memos will begin capturing your note.
