Build a One-Tap Call Shortcut for iPhone

Calling someone you talk to every day requires unlocking your phone, finding the contact, and tapping through to the call. A one-tap call shortcut for iPhone eliminates every one of those steps. Place a shortcut icon directly on your home screen for any contact — your partner, your mum, your boss — and call them with a single tap without ever opening the Phone app.

How this speed dial shortcut works

The shortcut is pre-configured with a specific contact and initiates a call immediately when tapped. You can choose to call via the standard phone network, FaceTime audio, or FaceTime video. Place the icon anywhere on your home screen for the closest thing to a physical speed dial button your iPhone can have.
