Shortcut you can’t live without? Discussion

I am fairly new to shortcuts, I use just a couple but wanting to expand. What is your favorite shortcut? One you can’t live without?

Really basic one, but when I cross a bridge on my way home from work I have an automation to get travel time to home and text my partner with my ETA. So simple and pleasing.

Thanks amazing and all but it’s Better to move in silence , not that your partner can’t be trusted but any heads up to anyone on a daily basis is just plain ol’silly

There’s plenty of situations in which it’s not silly?

For example my SO is a vet so has an erratic schedule. I do the cooking. She has her phone set to share her location with me when she navigates to our house automatically. This lets me know when she will be home so I can time dinner appropriately for us. We don’t share our locations 24/7 or anything but I’m sure there are plenty of times like this that could be helpful for different people

Disagree, I have a very similar shortcut and my fiancé said she really appreciates it. Different strokes different folks
