Hi all,

For a while I had used shortcuts to change watch faces by simply asking Siri on the Watch. Now I can't get it to work. It takes the request and then does nothing. The Shortcuts are simple using the set Watchface command.

I had a few, like one to set the Modular Ultra Face. I simply named it: "Set Watch Face Workout" then raised my wrist and asked Siri on the Watch and it used to work.

Can anyone get this to work, or is this a global bug?

It has been broken since WatchOS 11.
 
If you use a Focus Mode for your workouts, you can assign a watch face to that focus which would automate this.

I have a Shortcut that changes my watch face that works when manually invoked, never tried with Siri.
 
Thanks, I really liked the Siri functionality, can you make sure that you have them set to appear on Watch and give it a try with Siri on Watch?
 
Whipped up a test Shortcut for this, and yes, it just spun its wheels. Probably a bug.
