Run Shortcuts From Control Center (lemmy.world)

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.

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.

I am fine with launching from Home Screen or Lock Screen

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.

@Sumocat @shortcuts usually, launching a shortcut via spotlight or dock on iPadOS seems more intuitive for me.
