Hello Jeffreywsh,


Thanks for posting! I see you want to know if you can run Shortcuts without an internet connection as long as the shortcut doesn't require a connection; is that right?


I tested this on my device by adding a shortcut that requires no connectivity to the Home screen and then running it while in Airplane Mode with Wi-Fi and cellular data turned off and had no issue, so you should be able to use such shortcuts. For reference, this will show you how to Run shortcuts from the Home screen.


Take care!
