Goodmorning Everyone,
I have an issue when I try to create a shortcut with two actions in my Iphone. So, first, I go to the search field, I write the first action, I find it and I add it without problems. Afterwards, I go to Add a new action, and I go to the search field to look for it, but at his point, I don't find the action list as happenend the first time, and if I flich from left to right, I find only "cancel" buton, but not the action list. So, do you know how to come back to the actions lit in order to find the second action and be able to add it to me shortcut?. Many thanks in advance and have a nice day.
María

I have to admit that I don't think I've ever actually created a Shortcut on the iPhone, since I'm mostly doing it on the iPad. Anyway, I'll try to help. This is in portrait mode, if you're using landscape I'll have to look again. At the bottom of the screen there's a search field. If you know the action you're looking for, start typing it's name, find it and double tap on it and it'll add it to the bottom of the shortcut.

If you tap "add action" you'll get the other interface that gives you action categories and actions the iPhone thinks you might want based on what you're doing. Same thing, find the action and double tap on it.

I don't *think* you can drag the action until it's in the shortcut, but don't quote me on this.
