How to Add a Contact to the Home Screen on iPhone | Create a Contact Shortcut

In this tutorial, you will learn how to Add a Contact to the Home Screen on iPhone.

With the addition of Shortcuts, now you can add contacts to your homescreen and dial them immediately from there. Let’s take a look at how it’s done.

Go to shortcuts and press the + icon. Tap add action and search for call. Tap on the Contact and search for the contact you want. Name the shortcut above and change the icon as you see fit. After that tap on the menu button up top and tap add to Home Screen. Here you can change the icon and name of the icon again. This is how it will appear on your Home Screen. Tap add and you’re good to go!

That’s it, very simple and very handy!

You say go to shortcuts but where is shortcuts?

I do not want an individual contact I want the Contacts App on my home screen. Seems like I can no longer do that. Android is useless.

I get an error about an Ssd because the number I want to dial has a * code and idk how to do it

The usual problem with directions they say go somewhere but they don't tell you how to go there.

This does not work as advertised. Whatever calls shortcut you made will call the last person you called no matter what you're trying to do

Worked fine for me. Such a stupid way from Apple. You should be able to share a contact to the home screen...

You're going a little fast. You gotta point out things that you're doing. Coming from Android, this is far too many steps. Ugh.
