Shortcuts not working properly

Hello there!

I started using shortcuts on iPhone 12 Pro and there is a bunch of features that bother me:


• When I run a shortcut, the originator of the event is sometimes evaluated as Siri command and sometimes as direct Shortcut tap. This sometimes results in list item selection running in Siri and thus not being displayed.

[INSTEAD: Shortcuts could have better look on who is calling on them.]


• When I make an automation, I always receive notification about the running automation despite another notification more relevant to the automation being sheduled.

[INSTEAD: Shortcuts could only display notifications that users make themselves.]


• Some automations cannot run without user confirmation as it is sometimes not possible to turn off the confirmation requirement. This makes sheduled automations useless.

[INSTEAD: Automations could have possibility to run with full rights to read, write and execute.]


• After a while, shortcuts cannot be run from desktop icons and AssistiveTouch menu. The iPhone needs to be restarted.

[INSTEAD: Shortcuts references could be more reliable and thus should be able to call a specific shortcut every time.]


• Web pages are sometimes not viewed in Safari but in Shortcuts. For some reason, this results in black screen.

[INSTEAD: Shortcuts could be using only a predefined browser (e.g. Safari, Shortcuts web viewer) every time]

[OR INSTEAD: Shorcuts web viewer could be more reliable]


If there is anyone competent, make sure someone throws an eye on this.

iPhone 12 Pro, iOS 14
