“Run Shortcut” in the Control Center does not work on iOS27 (13 mini)

These shortcuts used to be working perfectly fine in iOS26, but has not worked since updating.


When clicking on one of those shortcuts in the Control Center edit mode, I can see that it is indeed mapped to the correct shortcut. But nothing happens when I try to run it.


Clicking the name of the shortcut to change it to a different shortcut glitches for a second and says “Unable to load”.


When adding a new “Run Shortcut” button, I cannot click on it to configure it at all.


Note: I do not have Screen Time set up, however I do have Scheduled Summary turned on but Shortcuts notifications are set to deliver immediately (if this is somehow relevant)

TrinaTheodore ~ Your iPhone 13 mini could be 5 years old and the long process of applying a major iOS upgrade to an iPhone with a weak, aging battery can be the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back." So...


Does your iPhone 13 mini still have its original battery?


And what's the Maximum Capacity % here?...

76% is not healthy and is almost certainly the reason for that problem with shortcuts. Apple suggests having the battery replaced at around 80% – so have the weak, aging battery replaced and all will (probably) be well:

I’m aware the phone would definitely struggle with the major update, which is why I gave it over a month before raising a concern..


Original battery at 76% health 🙃
