Hi,
Is it possible to block access to the Apple Shortcuts Widget?
I have added the App to the Blocklisted applcations but it can still be viewed via Widgets.
Strangely, I also blocklisted the Apple Podcasts & TV apps and it removed them from being viewed in Widgets.
Any help gratefully appreciated.

This command removes the Apple Shortcuts Widget from macOS and refreshes the Notification Center:
rm -rf ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.shortcuts.widget
killall NotificationCenter

@pgilrane82 For IOS, I think the only way is to Block Allow Adding and Removing Widgets and Allow Today View on Lock Screen using IOS Restrictions.

Thanks again @Vijay_Raj - unfortunately there is no Allow Adding and Removing Widgets option for me in restrictions (under IOS payload) 😥
