Restore from backup.. Re doing all my automations for Siri Shortcuts would be too time consuming...

Hello congrats to everyone getting the 16 today just wanted to know when everyone gets their new phone if you guys restore from backup of previous phone or setup as new?

Have always restored from backup when it was available

That's a good point. The shortcuts are synchronised across devices but the automations aren't.

I did change my automations a few months ago so that they run shortcuts instead of having the steps within the automation itself, but even so.
