I like the Shortcuts app, but I never figured out how to do what I really wanted to be able to do with it. That is, to do a post on FaceBook. I tried to create a shortcut with the phrase of post to FaceBook. When I searched in the list of commands, I found something that would post text to FaceBook but I couldn’t get it to get dictated input.
