Multiple outlets report that Apple’s upcoming iOS 27 includes a major improvement to the Shortcuts app. The change centers on using AI to let users build multi-step Shortcuts and automations by describing what they want in natural language rather than assembling actions manually. According to the reports, the updated workflow would allow users to input a plain-language request, with the system generating the corresponding steps within Shortcuts. The coverage frames this as addressing a longstanding usability issue: creating and managing multi-step automations has typically required more manual configuration than many users expect. While both sources emphasize the same direction—AI-assisted Shortcut creation—the reports do not provide detailed release timing, specific capabilities, or confirmed technical specifications beyond the ability to generate multi-step shortcuts from natural-language prompts. The information is presented as expectations around iOS 27 rather than a fully documented feature set.
