Minor note for former Workflow users, it appears that the old Workflow app automatically updates to Apple's new Shortcuts app when you install the release version. I'd been on the public beta and was surprised to see Shortcuts preinstalled when I updated.

Anyone notice any major downsides, regressions, feature removals? The original app was powerful but quite complicated to use, I imagine Apple dumbed it down a bit for widespread adoption.

  I lost most of my publishing shortcuts, which was expected, but lost the complication in the Apple Watch and its button launcher, which was critical for my commutes...

    They added the ability to record a custom Siri command to trigger a workflow, perhaps that might help.

      No, they also broke all forms of watch input. There is zero UI for shortcuts on the watch, so I can’t tap a complication and use a simple menu to fetch ETAs for public transit anymore.

        You missed what the parent was saying - assign your shortcut a Siri phrase and then use it in your watch. I’ve been doing that since the Shortcuts beta started and it’s fine.

        It doesn’t work when the background actions require some form of interaction
