Subject: Unexpected Shortcuts Appearing Without My Creation









I have noticed that several shortcuts appear in my Shortcuts app on my iPad, even though I did not create them myself. I would like to understand why this is happening and whether these shortcuts were automatically added by iOS or any third-party apps.




Here are some details:


• The shortcuts seem to perform various tasks like opening apps, translating text, and searching online.


• I did not manually add or configure them.


• My Shortcuts > Advanced settings do not have any automation enabled, and “Allow Running Scripts” is turned off.




Could you please clarify why these shortcuts appeared and whether I can prevent automatic shortcut additions in the future?




Thank you for your help.





iPad Pro, iPadOS 18
