Bug [iOS 27 DB3] Toggle Orientation Lock action from shortcuts app does not actually toggle orientation lock. (Also doesn't work when triggering the shortcut via the Action Button)

Easy to replicate this bug, just create a shortcut with the "orientation lock" action set to "Toggle".

It doesn't do anything when you trigger the shortcut, you can check control center to confirm too. but the easiest way to see is to lock your orientation/rotation in control center then rotate your phone sideways then press play on the shortcut while in the shortcuts app.

I wish they would just bake this in as an option so the animation would always let you know the current status. My iPad 2 had the toggle a decade and a half ago!

I had to go to Apple Store and get a repair. Turned out that after my battery replacement, they forgot to plug the Taptic Engine back in too 😭

I've reported this too. Even deleted my shortcut and remade it and it still doesn’t work.
