Anyone else having issues with shortcuts.

watch os 6 beta 5 iOS 13 beta 5 HomePod 12.4

shortcuts work great on phone and pad.

when trying to use on watch or HomePod it’s saying it cannot do it on the watch.
Any ideas.

I'm running iOS 13.1 Beta 3 and my watch is still on OS5. Siri Shortcuts fail 100% of the time on my watch saying "Sorry, shortcuts is currently unavailable on Apple Watch"

Same with HomePod I presume they will start working again soon.

I think they will be put bk in in conjunction with 13.1 which will be released day of the new iPhone.

iOS 13 official release and watchOS 6 official release, and this issue still persists. Any known workaround?

Pretty certain it’s being released with 13.1 going of other feeds...

I thought it was just my watch that couldn’t use shortcuts. Guess everyone is having issues. Between this and the horrible battery life Apple is really struggling. Can’t even do reminders from the watch either

Reminders work for me on the Watch. They no longer sync with my Mac because Catalina isn't out yet. Seriously can't believe Apple let things get this way.

Wtf, still nothing works, either on the watch or on HomePod!

Same. So frustrating. Apple has 100% been messing with stuff in the background, too, since more of my Shortcuts don't even work on my iPhone now without recreating them first, AND my Siri scene "Arriving home front door" no longer works at all. Siri just says, "Welcome home" or "Home is where the heart is" or some other trite comment, but doesn't do anything. This has been an ongoing issue for a long time. Will maybe randomly start working again in some undefined amount of time, until it doesn't again...
