There are noticeable differences between the symbols (glyphs) available in the #ShortcutsApp depending on whether you’re using #iOS or #macOS 😬
Screenshot of the WinMerge app comparing two CSV files with symbol descriptions for the Shortcuts app in iOS and macOS. Differences are highlighted in yellow and orange. The macOS file has extra entries marked “;macOS only” such as Church, Flower, Wine Bottle, and Baby. Some lines also have extra notes, like "Person Ice Skating" described as "also Figure Ice Skating.” The order of sections differs too: for example, macOS places the “COMMERCE” section later. Both files share most entries, but the differences are significant and can cause confusion of users of both platforms. A side panel shows clusters of differences concentrated in the middle of the file.

It's a bit disheartening to receive a “Works as currently designed” verdict on feedback report FB18152648: In #Shortcuts, the expression "min(99,100)" results in a "Math error", but "min(100,99)", "min(99,98)", and "min(98,99)" do not. Demo #shortcut for easy access: www.icloud.com/shortcuts/55...
Screenshot showing two panels side by side on an iPad.

The left panel displays Apple Feedback Assistant report FB18152648 titled "Shortcuts: 'Math Error' when calculating the minimum of two integers".

The report, submitted by Antonio Bueno on 17 June 2025, was closed with the resolution "Investigation complete – Works as currently designed." The report describes that the expression min(99,100) causes a “Math Error” in the Shortcuts app, while similar expressions do not.

The right panel shows the Shortcuts app with a shortcut that contains a list of min(x,y) expressions, including min(99,100), and uses a "Repeat" and "Calculate" action. A system alert is shown saying: “Check the expression for math errors and spelling mistakes — Math error.”

In iOS 26, the clear icons would make more sense if they used each app's accent colour. My mockup isn't perfect, but it's kind of what i mean. The clear variant has almost no utility? I haven't used the _actual_ accent colours here. If i did, it'd be very blue. #WWDC #iconDesign #Design #iOS26

"Calculate expression" is a very useful action of the #ShortcutsApp. But it only works with decimal periods 😓 If you want your #shortcut to work around the world, use a "Replace text" just before it to replace commas by periods. And if you use fancy multi-parameter functions 😁 you can use a regex.
Three screenshots of the Shortcuts app editor side-by-side. The first one (left) showing the error when using decimal commas in "Calculate Expression". 

The second one (center) shows a simple fix: replace commas by periods with a "Replace text" just before the "Calculate expression". This works for most expressions, but it may cause problems if any function with more than one parameter is used.

The third one (right) shows a more complex fix for that case: add a space after the commas that separate the parameters, and use the regex ,(?=\d) to only replace commas followed by digits.
