How to set up Vocal Shortcuts on iPhone 13 Pro with latest update?

I am running iOs 18.1.1

iPhone 13 Pro


I set up Vocal Shortcut (in Accessibility) to run a Shortcut i have set up in the Shortcuts app.

I follow the procedure to "train" the vocal shortcut.

When I say "Hey Siri" (she responds), I speak the shortcut..

... but Siri just responds with generic web search related to the words I said.


What is going on?

I cannot get that to work. I tried having iPhone locked, unlocked, do not disturb off/on, Shortcuts app open, iPhone does not respond to me saying the phrase I set up in Accessibility->Vocal Shortcuts :-/


UPDATE: that DID, however, work for one of the pre-installed iPhone shortcuts! (Text last image)


UPDATE 2: Ok I got my custom shortcut to work (only when iPhone is unlocked)... maybe it needed to get warmed-up with the pre-installed one??
