When you are wrapping up work or leaving a late event, your family undoubtedly wants to know when you’ll be walking through the door. Trying to quickly check maps and type a text message while merging onto the highway is both frustrating and dangerous. A tailored text ETA home shortcut for iPhone solves this by calculating your drive and sending a pre-written message entirely automatically.
Tap the icon right from your lock screen, or tell Siri 'ETA home'. The shortcut silently contacts Apple Maps to figure out exactly how many minutes your current commute will safely take. It then drafts a clean text message instantly - 'Leaving now, I should be home around 6:15 PM' - and sends it off to your partner or roommate without you having to open the Messages app.
Go to getturin.com and describe the ETA shortcut (e.g., 'Text my wife my arrival time via Maps when I say ETA home').
Wait a few seconds for Turin's AI to build the shortcut to your exact specifications.
Tap the 'Install' button to add the text ETA directly to your Apple Shortcuts app.
You never have to stare down at your phone keyboard to type out a manual text message while sitting in traffic.
Provides exact, map-verified timing to your loved ones so they don't have to guess if you got stuck at the office.
Completely bypasses the multiple slow steps of opening Maps, checking the route, switching to Messages, and typing.
