If you want to add the Siri shortcut from any 3rd part application, then here’s how you can do so:
  1. Launch the application on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. Touch “Add to Siri.”
  3. Now, record the word or command you would like to speak to Siri.

This upgrade was a part of the recently released iOS 12 update. This upgrade can possibly bring added Google search to iPhone and iPad users. Users will now be able to use Google hands-free.
