Run shortcuts from the Search screen

Using search, you can quickly locate and open a shortcut without having to open the Shortcuts app.

  1. On your iOS or iPadOS device’s Home screen, swipe down from the center.

    Before you enter a search term, suggested shortcuts may appear on the screen.

  2. Type the name of a shortcut in the search field.

    A list of results forms as you type. You may need to scroll to locate your shortcuts. Each shortcut result displays the icon and name of the shortcut (prepended with the word “Run”).

    Search for the shortcut keyword “photos,” and the results of the search: “Run Send Photos To Mother,” “Run Photos to GIF,” and “Run Mask Photos Before Sharing” shortcuts.
  3. Tap the shortcut, then do one of the following:

    • Tap “Run,” then follow any additional onscreen instructions.

    • Tap the shortcut to open the Shortcuts app, then tap to run the shortcut.

      Tap to dismiss the shortcut.
