31: Excelsior
It's on, it's off, it's on again? No one knew (this is me from the future; it happened, and we're still here), but we'll always have our coins, so that's nice, I guess.

- Boosts on everything, like opening the camera, keyboard, share sheets, etc
- Siri Shortcuts
- This is where the Workflow team went
- Apps can expose quick phrases to Siri... So no more “In Things”... If I say “Today View”, Siri can know that means open Things to the Today View.
- You can assign custom phrases to things inside of apps
- Separate Shortcuts App, very much workflow, drag and drop commands for common things you do
- So say like, “Heading Home” and a driving playlist can start playing and then Maps will open up with directions home
- I think this is a very powerful idea and a great way to skirt around Siri’s biggest weakness

- Screen Time

- Stats in each app, use by time, and time of day, and how many times you pick up an app
- How many notifications they send
- Can set App Limits, and it’ll remind you when you are about to reach your limit
- Can be set on your kids devices, and downtime for when they shouldn’t use an app... No Snapchat after 9p
