Anyone else think this would be useful?
Sometimes it isn’t convenient to use Siri to trigger a Shortcut and I think Control Center would be a great place to be able to do this.
Just like we can make a Shortcut available on Apple Watch, we could have a checkbox to make it show in a new Control Center menu.
I trigger shortcuts primarily by using Shortcuts widgets on the Home Screen or Today View, mostly on Today View. Today View is one swipe away when my iPhone or iPad is locked, same as Control Center, and I don’t need to stretch to reach it.
I do this too, but sometimes I need/want to run a Shortcut while using another app, which isn’t related to the app I’m running, so the Share Sheet isn’t relevant.
Right. I forget everyone else uses multiple Home Screens. For me, it’d be one swipe to widgets and one swipe back, same as Control Center, with no hunting for the right Home Screen. Getting to Today View would require pulling down Notification Center first. Takes an extra swipe to get there and then an extra swipe to get back. What would be nice is a row of icons/shortcuts beneath the App Switcher view and/or above the Reachability view.
@Sumocat @shortcuts usually, launching a shortcut via spotlight or dock on iPadOS seems more intuitive for me.
I am fine with launching from Home Screen or Lock Screen
On this topic. I’d love to have a folder of shortcuts in my App Library for shortcuts that’s act as quick actions like opening the passwords in settings.
This is a great idea as well.
I added a triple back tap to open Spotlight, which sort of solves for this, but is still as fast as a Control Center option would be.
