Sorry, Shortcuts is currently unavailable on Apple Watch.

Hey all,

Since updating to iOS 13 and watchOS 6, Shortcuts no longer works on my Apple Watch anymore, giving me the above message whenever I try to run a shortcut. The same shortcut works just fine on the iPhone - just not on my Watch.

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks, all.

Same here.

This was removed a few beats ago. Still not present on iOS 13.1. Still some bugs to sort.

Maybe you already found a solution by now..but I was looking for a solution myself and figured out that you need to re-make the shortcuts so they will work again
A pain in the neck till Apple comes out with a solution..

My shortcuts started working again when the whatever update it was came out.

How does Shortcuts work with the watch? Through Siri only or is there another method. Don’t see the actual app on my watch. Thanks

Only Siri -from what I see-but it takes a lot of time to send the data to your iPhone Shortcuts
Checking with the app...
hmmm...
it will be a moment...
Finally you can enter what you need to
and
Just a sec...
Checking with the app...

I have a very basic Shortcut LOG WATER , 3 variables to choose from
nothing else, then the data from the iPhone is sent to the Health app
If I'm near the iPhone I use it there , so much faster

Probably it depends from the Shortcuts you are using:for some it went like you said
but others I had to make a new one from scratch and they are ultra simple ones

I don't know if it's still happening for everyone, but Shortcuts on my Apple Watch S6 are not working. Someone mentioned to me that Shortcuts on the AW are “broken” and Apple has not fixed it yet. Is this true?
