Shortcuts Timer

Is there a way on iPhone and Mac with latest OS's to run a Timer Shortcut, which when acknowledged when the sound goes off to go back to the Home Screen on the phone or back to the desktop on the mac.

I would like to avoid having to close the Clock window after the timer is acknowledged and realize that the timer times will vary

Thanks

How do I edit an alarm by label using shortcuts I'm attempting to create a shortcut that acts as a reminder every 20 minutes. I've recently updated my phone and I'm seeing two issues in the way of this. The "toggle alarm" shortcut action now references alarms by time in the variable list rather than label (even when labels are assigned to the alarm). There's no way to edit or delete an existing alarm without entering the clock app, which in some ways defeats the purpose of shortcuts. I've attempted to use a timer for the 20 minute thing, but although we can edit and stop those, there's no automation option to start a new shortcut at the end of a timer. It is theoretically possible to to have a wait action with many repeat statements, but that makes it impossible to: Know if the shortcut is running Stop the shortcut Know how much time is left in the timer Run other shortcuts Any help is appreciated.

Can Shortcuts use Voice Control commands? When creating Shortcuts, can you add Voice Control commands (e.g. Show Grid, Tap [#])? I’m trying to create shortcuts to allow me to use my iPhone without seeing the screen. I can get a shortcut to open an app, but then I can’t figure out how to trigger a UI element (e.g. a “play” button on an Insight Timer meditation for example) without doing so manually each time using Voice Control (or looking at my screen to click the “Play” button). Can you somehow tap a UI element (eg a “play” button via a Shortcut once an app is open? Or, can you add Voice Control commands to a Shortcut somehow? so far, after a lot of trial an error, I haven’t been able to solve this.

There are two ways you can acknowledge when the banner of the timer is shown

Tap on it, will take you to the clock app
Swipe up the banner. That's it. It will not go to the Clock app.
