The launch by the IFTTT team opened up a bunch of new opportunities for Apple technology owners. New recipes allow you to use iPhone contacts, photos and calendars. As soon as you activate these channels in IFTTT, you immediately get the opportunity to create new recipes, many of which are very cool.

We have collected 8 of the most interesting iPhone recipes that you can try by simply installing the free IFTTT app and taking a few minutes to set up. If you do not own an iPhone, then on LH you can find one that describes other IFTTT features.

Backup all new photos

Save all your photos to Dropbox with this simple recipe. It is worth noting that you can create this recipe yourself if you want to customize it completely for yourself. For example, you can copy not all photos to Dropbox, but only those taken from the rear camera, or use Google Drive instead of Dropbox.

Don't forget that you need to enable background sync for IFTTT. The app will prompt you to do this when you log in. You can install an already created recipe.

Sharing photos to social networks

If you want your photos to be immediately published on various social networks, then there is nothing complicated here either. When creating a new recipe, select iOS Photos in the “IF” column, and the desired social network in the “THEN” column, for example, Twitter.

After that, select the album you want and your photos will instantly publish to 500px, Facebook, Flickr, Tumblr, Twitter and WordPress.

Improvements to standard iOS reminders

If you're not using the iOS Reminders app, then maybe it's time to get started. This recipe creates a calendar event based on the generated reminder in the default iOS app.

Create an event when adding a new contact

You can keep a chronological record of every new contact in your calendar. You just need to add a new recipe and when you create any contact, it will appear as an event in your calendar.

Save your favorite Instagram photo to Dropbox

If you liked some Instagram photo so much that you wanted to download it, then this recipe will help you. Any photo you like will be saved to your Dropbox folder.

You can also save all your Instagram photos to Dropbox by simply changing one setting in the IF parameter at the start of your recipe.

A copy of all new iOS contacts in Google Drive

Another great way to automate routine actions. This recipe allows you to create a text file with a table of all new contacts. Google Drive was taken as an example, but you can also use Dropbox or Evernote.

However, this is useless if you are using iCloud. Then all your data is completely safe.

New article in Pocket -> Reminder with article title

If your Pocket is used as a dumping ground for materials that you will definitely read later, then you can make it easier for yourself. When you add an article or video to Pocket, a reminder is automatically created with the title of that article.

Weather change -> Notification letter

If you want to keep abreast of sudden changes in the weather, you can add this recipe to your list. If, according to the weather forecast, tomorrow there will be rain, snow or other weather phenomenon, you will automatically receive a notification by email. Instead of mail, you can choose a reminder.

The possibilities of IFTTT are limited only by your imagination. Do you use any recipes?
