Apple’s Shortcuts app, now powered by iOS 26 AI, lets users access app settings with a single tap. Quinn Nelson’s “App Settings” shortcut streamlines the process after Apple’s 2023 Settings overhaul.

Installing the shortcut involves adding a Control‑Center run command, then assigning it to the new shortcut. Once set, a swipe to Control‑Center and a tap launches the target app’s settings page directly.

Users report the method saves significant time compared to navigating Settings → Apps. The tweak turns a multi‑step routine into a one‑hand gesture, enhancing daily workflow.

Overall, the shortcut exemplifies how small workflow tweaks can offset larger UI changes, giving power users a fast path to configuration.
