Shortcuts app missing in share sheets

I want to start using shortcuts, but they never appear in share sheets. The app itself isn’t listed either. The shortcuts are properly configured, I even tested it with my own ‘Anything’ shortcut.


I had the Shortcuts app offloaded when I updated to iOS 14. Not sure if that’s what caused this. I tried completely uninstalling it and then re-adding it, but it didn’t help.


I can’t find any discussions or advice on this particular issue, which is worrying. I would really prefer not to have to factory reset the iphone.

iPhone SE, iOS 14

Thank you for finding that. My search attempts clearly didn’t. Yes that is the answer / wirkaround.


So it appears that currently there is a flaw in Shortcuts’ installation / integration functionality where a reboot is required, either after installing the app or maybe after enabling share sheet integration on a shortcut for the first time. I imagine this will get fixed eventually.
