Note that 'presently' always* means 'currently in Am Eng, but it
can mean 'in a little while/shortly' in Br English. Many native speakers of British English use them interchangeably, but some don't. It
always meant 'shortly' when my grandfather was around.
Some native speakers of Br Eng still hold that 'presently' means 'shortl'y and the way to say 'currently' is 'at present'.

PS * I must learn not to pontifocate about other peoples' languages -
. I
think this is true, at least in describing current usage. (In Br Eng too the 'I'll see to that presently' usage is rather dated.)
