Does iOS 18.5 have multiple shortcuts for too many actions? How to use it?

In iOS 18.5, you can create complex shortcuts with many actions by chaining them together, using "If" statements for conditions, "Choose from Menu" for interactive options, and "Repeat" for iterative tasks. You can also integrate with other apps using their specific actions and variables to pass data between steps.

Here’s how to use multiple shortcuts for many actions in iOS 18.5:

Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone.
Tap Automation → + → Create Personal Automation.
Choose a trigger (e.g., time, app, NFC).
Tap New Blank Automation.
Tap Add Action to insert tasks.
Repeat to add multiple actions.
Drag actions to reorder them as needed.
Press and hold action icons to copy/paste between shortcuts.
Use Run Shortcut to link other shortcuts.
Tap Done to save and activate.

In iOS 18.5, use Shortcuts to chain multiple actions:
1. Open the Shortcuts app → Tap + (New Shortcut).
2. Add actions by searching or selecting from suggestions.
3. Use "Run Shortcut" to nest existing shortcuts.
4. Test & save. Works for automations too!
