The New Dual Shortcuts Widget Could Use Some Work »

Federico Viticci shared his hot take on the new dual widget for Shortcuts – and I added my thoughts in the comments.

From Federico Viticci on Mastodon:

If the Home widget can show up to four buttons at once in the small size in iOS 17, why shouldn’t the Shortcuts one do the same?

In the replies, I agreed:

@[email protected] I also think it’s dumb that these are set using a folder – they should be individually-selectable.

No need to force both shortcuts to be in the 1 and 2 index in a specific folder.
