I have a shortcut that in the last month has gone from being basically instant, to 10-12 seconds to execute and I’m wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
My short Shortcuts (2-3 actions) seem fine, but this particular one has 11 actions–it’s basically a selector Shortcut so that I can pick which number (within the same contact) to dial.
Just yesterday my shortcuts ran so slowly that it was basically broken. If I pushed the automation button on the bottom of the screen, the app would completely freeze. Even other apps randomly crashed. Even after I rebooted the phone it still had the same issues. Finally I force restarted the phone and it works perfectly now. https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/force-restart-iphone-iph8903c3ee6/ios
So I would try rebooting. If that doesn’t work I would try force restarting. Hopefully that helps.
My perception is that Shortcuts execution has slowed dramatically. I have quite a few Shortcuts that loop through simple calculations (please check out my latest, a racing game called Rally 2000), and they are quite noticeably slower than I recall them being just a few weeks ago.
Thanks Alex! I suppose you’re right, but, you know, then instead of being a “I can’t believe you made that,” it would become a “why’d you bother to make that.”
