Android Central Question
I can't seem to find the instructions to add a shortcode for some of my favorite contacts on to the home screen. Help.
No, that creates a contact but doesn’t put a shortcut on the homescreen. We can’t find a menu in the Contacts or Edit a Contact sections for adding a shortcut on the Homescreen.If you long press the contact app and choose create contact , it should work
Hi, welcome!No, that creates a contact but doesn’t put a shortcut on the homescreen. We can’t find a menu in the Contacts or Edit a Contact sections for adding a shortcut on the Homescreen.
What Contacts Widget? That’s Direct Dial. It doesn’t shortcut to the contact’s information, it just immediately dials them. We may want to text them or just look up their address or other profile info. There was originally some way on a contact’s profile menu to add a shortcut to it on the Homescreen. Now we can’t find an “Add to Homescreen” option anymore.I think you want the Contacts widget - Direct dial. (that's to call them from the homescreen - the Contact widget is to open the contact in Contacts).
