Siri, Shortcuts & Automations

Can I add a Speedometer shortcut to my Home Screen or Lock Screen?

Beyond fully automatic triggers, single-tap shortcuts are the next-best thing for hands-on control. **Home Screen:** open the Shortcuts app → My Shortcuts → tap the Speedometer shortcut you've created → Share → Add to Home Screen → choose an icon and name (e.g. "Start Trip"). Now tapping that Home Screen icon starts a trip without launching the full app. **Lock Screen widget (iOS 16+):** long-press the Lock Screen → Customize → tap the widgets row → search for Shortcuts → add the Speedometer shortcut. Now you can start, pause, or stop a trip without unlocking your phone. **Today View / Home Screen widget:** the Shortcuts app exposes its widget in any size — pin a 4-shortcut grid (Start, Pause, Resume, Stop) for full trip control from a single screen.
