How come not all apps can be accessed with shortcuts?

Many of my apps are not shown in the create shortcut screen.


Are some apps just not supported by 'shortcuts' app or it there something that need to be enable in the specific app or settings?

Hi Pcpinus,


Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities. From our understanding, you are not seeing certain apps in Shortcuts, do we have that right? Some apps may not be compatible with the Shortcuts app, you may need to reach out to the developer to confirm. Also, you may need to perform the action within the app before it shows as available in Shortcuts. Check out this article for more information: Run shortcuts with Siri, the Shortcuts app, or Siri Suggestions.


Hope that helps!
