Can’t get any shortcuts to appear in Apple Watch I can’t get any shortcuts to appear when I add the Shortcuts complication on my Apple Watch other than the compass “start compass backtrack”, “Stop Compass Backtrack” and “Set Compass Waypoint” Absolutely nothing else appears even though I have added them in the “Apple Watch” list in the Shortcuts app. I even only used the default suggestions based on the app (didn’t create my own, just the standard) and nothing appears in the watch. Even “Record a new voice memo” which is in that list doesn’t appear) and the rare few pages online I can find talking about this issue all list options in menus that do not actually exist (likely they went by memory rather than looking up the precise menu name) How do I get them to appear?
