MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., Oct. 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- SmugMug, the premier platform for professional photographers, today announces a game-changing update to its iOS app, integrating full support for Apple's Shortcuts compatible with the upcoming iOS 18.1 release featuring Apple Intelligence and prior iOS versions. This update enables photographers to automate tasks, streamline workflows, and even control their creative processes hands-free using Siri, marking a significant leap forward in mobile photography management.
Unlocking a New Era of Photography with Custom Workflows
With this new update, SmugMug users can now build personalized, automated workflows via Apple's Shortcuts app—allowing photographers to execute repetitive tasks in just a tap or voice command. Whether it's uploading a series of photos, creating and organizing galleries, or managing large folders of images, the new Shortcuts integration brings powerful automation directly to the photographer's fingertips.
"This update marks an exciting leap forward for our users," said Cosmo Rahn, GM of SmugMug. "By integrating with Apple's Shortcuts, we're empowering photographers to focus more on what they love to do and less on the tedious tasks behind the scenes. It's all about freeing up time for creativity and growing their business."
Key Features of the SmugMug Shortcuts Integration:
- Custom Workflows: Users can build their own Shortcuts to automate tasks like uploading media, organizing galleries, and managing folders.

Preparing for Apple Intelligence and the Future of AI-Influenced Photography
Looking ahead, SmugMug is poised to harness the power of Apple Intelligence, a transformative feature launching with iOS 18.1.
