Never forget an item again when your family texts you a list of groceries. This new shortcut leverages Apple Intelligence to transform a simple text message into an organized grocery list within the Reminders app. It automatically extracts items from a screenshot of your text message, saving you valuable time and ensuring accuracy.
This innovative shortcut introduces the ability to parse a screenshot of a text message for grocery items. Using the powerful Cloud model (Apple Intelligence), it identifies and extracts individual grocery items from unstructured text. These items are then automatically added to your Groceries list in the Reminders app, even categorizing them for you where applicable.

For optimal performance, ensure the text message containing your grocery list is clearly visible on the screen when you activate the shortcut. If you frequently receive grocery lists via text, consider keeping your Reminders app's dedicated Groceries list empty before running the shortcut for a cleaner import. This shortcut is designed to work best when added to your Control Center for instant access.
The new 'Grocery List from a Text Message' shortcut revolutionizes how you manage household shopping lists. By leveraging Apple Intelligence, it converts casual text messages into actionable, organized grocery lists in Reminders with minimal effort. This feature streamlines your routine, reduces manual data entry, and helps ensure you never miss an item when heading to the store.
