Good example of the sort of mutli-step, low-stakes actions I think Siri AI should be able to do:

Quite a few updates for my Instagram Media Saver shortcut in the last couple of days but finally landed on something stable with multiple fixes for issues being reported

Thanks everyone who helped beta testing and also giving feedback on the issues.

FB25108200 (Get current song action returns no valid data in Shortcuts)

Not sure how or why this action is such a pain for Apple to get right. It always had problems with returning an MPC error occasionally but now it doesn't even return data

Top is old version and bottom is new

I've started making changes to my Instagram Media Saver #shortcut to avoid using scriptable and cookie sharing. Too many accounts are being flagged for suspicious activity so an update should be coming soon!

Have you ever been driving and wanted to jot down the location and a quick note to go back and report an issue to Apple, Google, or Waze so they can improve the issue you saw?

Happens to me all the time, so I made the Map Problem #Shortcut
