If I use a shortcut my Apple Watch would not mirror my iPhone actions

Hello qvintus53,

Thank you for reaching out to Apple Support Communities, and we'll be happy to help in any way we can. We understand you have questions about Flight Mode. Check out this article for details about this setting:Use Airplane Mode on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support

We hope this helps.

Cheers!

Greetings qvintus53,

It does not appear that the Action button will change settings across devices. You can learn more about how the Action button works and responds here: Customize the Action button on iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max - Apple Support.

If you feel that this is a feature that should be considered and included, you can ask Apple. They welcome feedback and suggestions for their hardware and services. You can leave them feedback here: Product Feedback - Apple.

We hope this information helps you out.

Cheers.

This has nothing to do with the action button but with a iOS shortcuts bug that is new since iOS 17.0. it worked fine in all versions of iOS 16.X. To be clear, this is not a feature that the action button needs, it’s a super annoying bug that was introduced with iOS 17. kind regards.

The question is not about flight mode or the action button, the problem here is a bug in all versions of iOS 17 with iOS shortcuts not mirroring flight mode settings across devices. It worked fine in all versions of iOS 16.
