Run Shortcuts From Control Center
Run Shortcuts From Control Center
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.

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.
I do this too, but sometimes I need/want to run a Shortcut while using another app, which isn’t related to the app I’m running, so the Share Sheet isn’t relevant.
Right. I forget everyone else uses multiple Home Screens. For me, it’d be one swipe to widgets and one swipe back, same as Control Center, with no hunting for the right Home Screen. Getting to Today View would require pulling down Notification Center first. Takes an extra swipe to get there and then an extra swipe to get back. What would be nice is a row of icons/shortcuts beneath the App Switcher view and/or above the Reachability view.
@Sumocat @shortcuts usually, launching a shortcut via spotlight or dock on iPadOS seems more intuitive for me.
