I am trying to turn on my Untrust and shortcuts so I can be able to add a trusted shortcuts to my iPhone. I understand that you have to go in and click the on off switch but mine just won’t let me click it at all. It has a dark tint over it
Update: I think I figured out the magic sequence.
You have to run TWO different trusted shortcuts before the "enable untrusted shortcuts" button will enable itself.
I tried running the same trusted shortcut twice and it did nothing. But, running a different trusted shortcut worked.

UPDATE: I was able to get this to work by running more trusted shortcuts! Seems odd, but after adding the trusted gallery shortcuts for "washing hands music," and "top stories from Apple news," the setting for allowing untrusted shortcuts is no longer greyed out! So, as unlikely and strange as this is, it seems to be the fix.
ORIGINAL:
Hi. I have the same problem. I ran a few trusted shortcuts ("alarm set," "when do I need to leave"). Then returned to settings to see that the choice for allowing untrusted shortcuts is still greyed out. So I powered off the iPhone and restarted it. Ran another trusted shortcut. At settings, "Allow untrusted shortcuts" is still greyed out.
I am running software version 13.5.1 -- so it doesn't seem that I'm behind on updates.
Any idea how to address this?
Thank you,
Carl
This doesn't work. I force-closed and restarted. The instructions don't make sense because you can't "run the shortcut" to enable the "Allow..." button BECAUSE you haven't enabled "Allow..."
Catch-22
In order to enable the button I have to run the shortcut.
In order to run the shortcut the button must be enabled.
Thanks for the replly. I tried that but it didn't help.
It's seems like a really dysfunctional security scheme...
So essentially, if I have to download/install trusted shortcuts I don't want/need just so I can run an untrusted shortcut.
Rube Goldberg would be so proud.
Hey there Jordan2344,
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. I understand you’re unable to enable Allow Untrusted Shortcuts on your iPhone. I’ll be happy to help with this.
If you haven’t already, run a shortcut on your iPhone. You’ll need to run a shortcut once before you can allow untrusted shortcuts. This link has more details:
How to enable shared shortcuts on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
If that doesn’t help, force close Settings and Shortcuts then restart your iPhone:
How to force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Check for any updates:
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Then run a shortcut and try to enable the feature once more.
Regards.
You're supposed to run a "trusted" shortcut first. There are some in the gallery. Then, theoretically, you can enable untrusted shortcuts in the settings.
