Apple Watch and Siri access to My Shortcuts

Using Siri on apple watch (Series 3 latest update) to trigger My Shortcuts for a shortcut request and at first Siri on the Watch says cheerfully "Done" just like on the iphone (iPhone X latest update) then a few seconds later Siri says on Watch "not able to execute." Same Shortcut works fine with Siri on iphone when I use the same request - "done" and it happens.

What's the disconnect between the Watch Siri to the iPhone Siri. Used to work pretty good. I have restarted both devices and even recreated the shortcut command in My Shortcuts. Still the same.

Any thoughts?

Hi trux1,

Thanks for your post! I see that using Siri on your Apple Watch Series 3 no longer instigates a shortcut command. It looks like you have already done some troubleshooting.

If you have not already tried, unpair the watch, then re-pair; refer to these articles:

Cheers!

Thanks. I did not have to do any of that. It appeared that it might take a period of time for the shortcut to be uploaded to the icloud for working as about three or four hours after installing and initially getting the "not able to execute" message on the Watch, the Siri command started working on the Watch. All good now.
