Apple Watch Ultra -No Shortcut Option Under Action Menu.

I had the same issues for me help was

go to icloud settings show all and turn on shortcut and app watch

Problem #1

Check that you have enough storage space. If so proceeded to problem # 2

Problem #2

Go to Watch app general <settings< Apple ID (sign in) should solve the problem !

1. view your shortcut (edit mode)
2. tap on the (i) info button, middle on the bottom
3. Ensure that Show on Apple Watch is toggled

I just updated both my phone and ultra 2 I bought Sunday and I’m still having this issue with shortcuts not appearing in the action button tasks. Tried to reinstall and everything and still nothing. What issue was resolved?

Have you found the solution? I have exactly the same issue with my shortcuts not appearing and 3 compass shortcuts only 🤔

Step 1: Launch the Watch app, and head into My Watch, and here, select Action Button.

Step 2: Now you select the action you want the button to be paired with followed by tapping Action Button to go back.

Step 3: In the App section, select the app you want to trigger for the action selected in Step 2, followed by assigning an action to First Press trigger as well.

As Apple says, “Some features allow different actions to happen on the first and second press of the button.”

And that’s it. You just configured that special button on your new Apple Watch.

I still have the problem - No Shortcuts option for my Action Button.

I have updated to latest FW iOS 17.0.3 (iPhone 14 Pro) and WatchOS 10.0.2 (Ultra 2).

Selected Shortcuts have Apple Watch enabled.

Anyone else still with the same problem on latest FW?

Unfortunately I also have exactly the same issue, despite all suggestions made in this post. I am not able to see the shortcut option under the action button/menu. Hopefully someone can provide the solution! Many thanks!

Kind of frustrating, it's Nov 20 and I still have this problem on iOS 17.1.1 and Watch OS 10.1.1. There should be an easy way to do this! Just bought the Ultra 2 last week and have been setting it up.

07Dec23 - Hi, I'm having exactly the same issue - Apple Watch Ultra 2 on OS 10.1.1 & iPhone 13 running iOS 17.1.2.

In My Watch on iPhone the list of options showing as assignable to the Action Button does not include 'Shortcut' - & I have created shortcuts so the Watch App should see there are some available.

I can also see my Watch under Find My - so the link to iCloud is active.

Spoke to first line Apple Support yesterday - the agent couldn't find any mention of it in their knowledgebase - which is a worry!

He is escalating to 2nd level support to investigate - he opened a ticket & gave me the ticket number so it will now be in the queue for attention.

Will post again here as soon as I hear back.

None of this makes any sense - once you go into "Action Button" in the My Watch app on the iPhone, you see an ACTION section, click on it (it's a select mechanism) and as of right now, there are the following options:

• Workout
• Stopwatch
• Waypoint
• Backtrack
• Dive
• Torch
• None

That's IT... I have no idea what you mean in "Step 3" since it doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

Is this a BETA feature? Has it been removed? Can someone from Apple say which?

I had no problem adding my shortcuts to the watch but then after a week or so I tried to add a new shortcut and it didn’t appear then I tried unpairing the watch and re pairing but now all shortcuts except the compass are gone and the action button was on a shortcut but when I went to change it the shortcut option disappeared
