I think this can be done. This would be awesome. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Wayne Merritt Sent: Friday, August 11, 2023 10:54 PM To: viphone <viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Creating a phone shortcut
Greetings all. I would like to create a shortcut to appear on my home screen to call a specific phone contact or favorite. For the record, I don't use Siri hardly at all, except to call my wife. It occurred to me today that I could probably add a shortcut or contact to my home screen to do this, and then I would be able to disable Siri completely. I realize Siri is an everyday life line for many, and I have no problem with that. I have my reasons for not using Siri, and for the record, I informed an Apple representative once when I was talking to them about another issue, and they said they would pass my feedback along to the Siri team. Anyway, I am very much a novice shortcut user. I have only used shortcuts for a small handful of things. So, with that in mind, does anyone have simple steps for creating a shortcut for what I want to do, or, can you point me to a resource that is laid out for novice shortcut users like me?
