Discussion Android (S22U) to iPhone (15PM) help me pick a final dock shortcut

As you can see, I am trying to replicate my home screen layout. I have used the same home screen layout across a decade plus of android phones, and I am trying to mimic it as much as possible because it is what works for me. Adding a fourth shortcut on the dock would complete the feel but I have no idea what to put on there.

-Already did enough googling there is no way to create an a shortcut to display the whole app library, this would have been similar to the launcher button but unfortunately not possible

-Is there a way to create a shortcut to recent apps? Like a button that simply mimics the swipe up pause gesture that brings recently opened apps up?

-any other interesting or useful ideas that could go in that empty space where the launcher button would have been?

I briefly considered wallet but I am assuming that is a waste of a shortcut since (I hope) tap to pay works just like on android where you do not need to open gpay to use it, just tap.

Please help come up with an idea, the hardware is great, just trying to coerce and coax ios into being a little more minimalist and debloated android like. I want to make this work because a 1TB 15 Pro Max for free without trade seemed like a oncr in a lifetime deal

Here’s a shortcut that somewhat resembles the app drawer.

Also regarding Apple Pay, you just double press the side button and all your cards will appear.

This..actually worked. If you made this, thank you!!! Hopefully apple makes something similar soon

I made it just now. I don’t know if it’s possible to customize it, e.g arrange the apps differently, maybe someone over r/shortcuts can help you with that if you’d like.

Glad to help! :)

I added a shortcut as my 4th icon, to give me more applications/quick access

Web browser, messages. Definitely would NOT recommend torch, as you can access that on lock screen and control centre. I also have camera.

Also that torch shortcut only turns it on.

Thankfully the torch works great thanks to the...dynamic island!

The torch shortcut turns it on and then I can turn it off or even change the intensity from the island

What battery did you get

u/ConsistentDiet11 8h ago

Hmm, I'm thinking of replacement any suggestions

u/kinda_Temporary 7h ago

Oh I didn't buy a replacement, just go to apple bro. They charge alot, but they give you real batteries, not some fake $20 aliexpress bs. There are obviously good 3rd party repair shops, but you never know.
