Countdowns now works with Siri AI, Spotlight, and Shortcuts. Works with Siri AI Just talk to Siri. "Create an event called Trip to Lisbon on November 14 in Countdowns." "Move my dentist appointment to Friday." "Rename this one to Marathon." "Delete my car insurance countdown." Siri understands your countdowns as events, asks before deleting, and you can undo. Siri knows what's on your screen While you're looking at your events, Siri can act on what you see. "Open the second one." "Delete this countdown." No need to repeat the name. Spotlight Every countdown is in Spotlight. Search from the Home Screen, see the picture and the date, and tap to open it in the app. Type "Upcoming" or "Today" to jump straight to a section without opening the app first. Shortcuts New actions for the Shortcuts app: Create Event, Show Events, Search Events, and Get Countdowns. Get Countdowns hands your list to other actions, so you can send your upcoming events to Use Model and get a summary in your own words, or build any automation you like.
