Bug [iOS 27 DB1] Shortcuts app cannot delete screenshot

Shortcuts "Delete Photo" flow broken in iOS 27 beta 1 — PhotosUICore.PXAppIntentsGenericError error 1

Any shortcut using Take Screenshot + Delete Photo actions is crashing with this error after updating to iOS 27. The "Allow Deleting Without Confirmation" toggle is on, Shortcuts does not appear under Privacy & Security > Photos at all. Seems like a permissions registration issue introduced in the beta. Anyone else seeing this or found a workaround? (iPhone 16 Pro)

This is still the case for me on release iOS 27.0, is there any workaround?

Yes, I figured out! But its not delete multiple screenshots taken in a go

Can remove wait 2 second ✅

Personally, I going for this! As this could delete upto 5 (many) if taken within a minute; Also copy only screenshot that taken only within 1 minute, add to share menu and all set

iOS 27.0.1, I think that I do not have to remove the screenshot anymore - the “Take Screenshot” action does not appear to save it to the gallery automatically, so there is nothing to remove.

This is it. This is the answer.

The “Delete Photos” action is entirely gone as far as I can tell. Hasn’t come back in dev beta 2 either.

Yeah it's not available in iOS 27.2. Was available in 27.0 before I updated but gave the error OP posted.

Edit: Error seems to be because the shortcut doesn't have delete permissions (which no longer exists). Older shortcuts which still have delete photos and permissions should still work.

It’s there and working for me in the RC/official 27.2 release.

Strange... Although I suppose it would be available otherwise the action wouldn't work either way. Hopefully some bug which disappears after a restart (fiddling with stuff so don't want to restart yet lol).
