@apple edc I noticed that you put “stop shortcut” as the final action of the shortcut. I am trying to learn more about when this should be used and I’m also trying to figure out a solution to an issue I have where shortcuts sometimes stall and don’t complete, which then prevents menu-based or folder-based shortcuts from running unless I restart my device. Do you think it’s important to use “stop shortcut” at the end of each one and do you think not doing this could be the cause of them sometime stalling?
It’s really just a habit I’ve developed over the years. I don’t think it would hurt anything to leave them out. I’m not sure about the stalling issue and I suspect your shortcut may be waiting for external information, like location, HomeKit or weather data, etc.
