Shortcuts not showing on Apple Watch

My shortcuts are not appearing on my Apple Watch.


I can see some shortcuts on the Watch, but they seem to be limited to shortcuts from apps such as Check In, Backtrack, and Shazam. The personal shortcuts I created in the Shortcuts app are not showing up.


For all of my personal shortcuts, I have enabled the “Show on Apple Watch” option, and I have also confirmed that these shortcuts are supported on the Apple Watch. Despite this, they still do not appear on my Watch.


I have already tried restarting both my iPhone and Apple Watch, as well as turning iCloud off and back on again.


I also noticed something unusual when enabling iCloud Sync for Shortcuts in Settings. The Shortcuts app keeps displaying a message saying: “You recently deleted shortcuts from iCloud. Do you want to proceed with syncing to iCloud?” I’m not sure whether this could be related to the issue.


I’m currently using iOS 27 and watchOS 26.6.


Has anyone experienced a similar issue or knows how to resolve it?


Thanks in advance!
