At WWDC 2024, Apple introduced several new features related to Shortcuts, particularly in the context of watchOS 11. One of the key updates is the ability to specify relevant contexts such as time of day, AirPods connection, location, and routine. This allows the system to insert shortcuts into the smart stack at the right time, enhancing the user experience by providing timely and contextual actions. Additionally, the introduction of a hand gesture shortcut modifier allows developers to identify a button or toggle as the primary action in their app, widget, or live activity, enabling quick, one-handed control for users.
