Shortcut

By Ishkabibble

Hi,

There is no feature allowing you to add contacts to your home screen so you can easily call them. However, there is a way to configure this by creating a shortcut in the Shortcuts app (this is free on the app store and is accessible.) I don’t know how to do this, as I’ve used Siri for this purpose, but you can easily create a shortcut to call someone and pin it to your home screen as an icon.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,
Maddy
