[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1840804, member: 131855"] Apparently there is a way to do this without jailbreaking the phone. It does require ue of a web driven app to create the shortcut. [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXWDNGlQQso"]See video here[/URL] I've never used this method personally. Edit: Here's another option that puts the phone number/contact on the home screen with a name of your choosing. As far as I can tell it does not use a custom picture or icon rvrn if the contact card uses one. IOS 13 features something called Shortcuts. For all practical purposes each "shortcut" is a macro that can execute several steps with one tap on the icon. Here's how it works: There is an app called Shortcuts that's probably already on the phone. 1. Tap Shortcuts to open the app then click Create Shortcut 2. When the next screen appears choose Add Action 3. On my phone one choice that appears is Call. It shows the last several contacts I've called and a + button to select a contact that's not shown. 4. Before you click Next tap the three dots at the top of the screen. When the next screen appears you can name the shortcut and choose to add the shortcut to the home screen. [/QUOTE]
