Things to Check If You're Navigating to a Different App in the Shortcuts App [iOS]

"We've received reports of issues where even after setting an icon using the Shortcuts app, you end up navigating to a different app or returning to the same app. After investigating, we found that most of these issues occur due to incorrect settings. In this article, we'll explain how to fix this problem using WidgetClub!

Cause of the problem

• You're overwriting and reusing the same shortcut instead of saving each one separately when setting an icon with the Shortcuts app.

The Shortcuts app requires you to create a separate shortcut for each action.

To put it simply,

1. To set an app icon to 'Open Camera', you need to create and save a separate shortcut specifically for 'Opening Camera'.

2.To set an app icon to 'Open Phone', you need to create and save a separate shortcut specifically for 'Opening Phone'.

How to solve the problem

To avoid this problem, Please Always save your shortcuts separately for each app!

This time, we'll introduce how to use the Shortcuts app (with a special focus on not forgetting to save!) based on iOS16.

1. Open the Shortcuts app, tap the '+' button in the top right corner to create a new shortcut.

If there are other icons you want to change, repeat the same process from STEP 1.

Doing this for each action should solve the problem!

When setting up another app, it's important to:

• Always Save (the 'Done' button) after creating each shortcut


• When changing the image of another app icon, always start by creating a new shortcut

And that's it!"
