Impractical long loading times for shortcuts on Apple Watch when not launched inside app
I’m using Shortcuts on Apple Watch (triggered via the Action Button or also via a watch face complication). As soon as a shortcut is more than a single simple action—especially if it starts with a “Choose from Menu / Choose from List” to select one of several actions—it takes around 5 seconds before the menu appears on the watch (because it first has to start up the Shortcuts App).
This makes the Action Button / complication feel impractical for quick actions, even though the whole point is speed and convenience.
Is there any way to cache / pre-load Shortcuts on watchOS so menus open instantly (or at least faster)?
