When I got home, the phone turned off the sound and went into vibration mode or turned off the screen as soon as the phone connected to the car Bluetooth. Did you know that your phone can perform time-saving actions autonomously without complicated settings? These automations have different names depending on the platform: “Applications” on Android or “Shortcuts” on iPhone. The possibilities offered by such a versatile tool are endless. How do you know if you’re getting value from it?
“I recommend separating the ways in which smartphone for example, if you are at home and not at the office or university,” explains Eduardo Marin, editor of Xataka Android. Mobile phones allow, according to Marin, to organize spaces dedicated to context: “if we are at work, we can automate this at certain times, depending on the location or the Wi-Fi network to which we are connected, we only receive notifications from certain applications or give priority to apps related to our work on the home screen,” he says.
For her part, Fran Besora, an Apple expert, suggests that the ideal is to “create them with the needs of each person in mind.” Besora invites the user to make a list of those tasks that he periodically performs in everyday life and automate them. In this way, automation can be perfectly adapted to everyday life, optimizing the use of the device according to personal habits.
There are plenty of automation tools you can implement to make your daily life easier, whether you use an iPhone or Android. Below we summarize some of the most useful ones, along with a brief description of their benefits and how to configure them on both operating systems.
This automation allows you to enjoy moments of peace without interruption, such as during sleep or important meetings. By programming Do Not Disturb mode, you can avoid unwanted calls and notifications, which is especially recommended during work hours when you want to switch off at home.
It’s important to note that Apple recommends always turning on Wi-Fi to optimize battery life. According to Apple, “When your device is used with Wi-Fi, it uses less power than with a mobile data connection.” So, instead of turning Wi-Fi on or off, you can automate connections to your preferred networks for optimal performance.
Avoid awkward situations or unnecessary interruptions by automatically muting your phone in places where silence is required, such as work, school, or the movies.
Keep your loved ones informed without much effort. By automating the sending of a message when you leave work, selected contacts are notified that you are on your way; This shortcut can also be very interesting for keeping your children safe, for example when they are leaving a nightclub.

In short, phone automation can change the way you use your device and save a lot of time by simplifying tasks. Any advice for those who want to automate processes on their mobile phone? “Don’t get discouraged or see it as something difficult,” Besora explains.
“It’s important to start with small shortcuts, with a small number of actions, and the same with automation, since the most useful ones are usually those with fewer than five actions,” he says.
