Apple has updated the Apple Store app to add support for Siri Shortcuts. Users will be able to make use of the feature to streamline their pre-order for the upcoming iPhone XR handset via the iPhone Upgrade Program.
When getting pre-approved for an iPhone XR, iPhone Upgrade Program members will see a new “Add to Siri” button that can be used to record a custom phrase like “pre-order my iPhone.”
Once pre-orders are available on October 19, customers can say the custom-made phrase and Siri will pull up their pre-approvals in the Apple Store app, allowing for quick order completion.
So far, the shortcut is the only one available for use with the Apple Store app. The release notes for the updated Apple Store app share the following details about the new feature:
What’s New
iPhone Upgrade Program members can now use Siri Shortcuts for an even faster way to complete their iPhone XR pre-order on 10.19. Look for the ‘Add to Siri’ button while getting pre-approved, and record your own voice command, like “pre-order my iPhone.” Say your phrase when pre-order begins, and let Siri pull up your pre-approval in the Apple Store app so you can quickly complete your order.
The Apple Store app is free for iPhone and iPad devices, and is available from the App Store. [GET IT HERE]
