Apple’s Shortcuts app has made it easier to access various features, especially with new iOS 26 additions. One simple shortcut that works wonders is for opening an app’s settings menu. This trick was recently shared by Quinn Nelson and can save you time.
To get started, follow these steps:
1. Install the “App Settings” shortcut.
2. Add a Control Center ‘Run Shortcut’ control.
3. Assign that control to your new “App Settings” shortcut.
Once set up, simply swipe to open Control Center, run the shortcut, and you’ll be taken straight to the right section of the Settings app.
This shortcut has become one of my most-used daily shortcuts since I installed it a few days ago. It took some getting used to, but now it’s a great time-saver.
