iPhone shortcuts help you automate tasks, no matter how simple or complicated they are. But did you know that you can actually run some of your shortcuts directly on your Apple Watch and right from your watch face?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re running watchOS 7 and higher on Apple Watch (and iOS 14 and higher on the iPhone), you can use the Shortcuts app on your smartwatch to trigger shortcuts. The Shortcuts app on the iPhone automatically recognizes shortcuts that can run on the Apple Watch and adds them to a separate \u201cApple Watch\u201d folder.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Note:<\/strong> You can manually add and remove Apple Watch shortcuts from the automatically generated folder. Take a look at our complete guide to using the Shortcuts app on the Apple Watch to learn more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In this guide, we\u2019ll focus on adding existing Apple Watch shortcuts directly to a watch face. Once added, you can simply tap the shortcut and confirm to trigger it.<\/p>\n

First, navigate to the watch face that you want to add the shortcut to as a complication. Next, tap and hold the watch face. From the menu, select the \u201cEdit\u201d button.<\/p>\n

Now, swipe left to go to the \u201cComplications\u201d section. Here, tap the complication that you want to change.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Use the Digital Crown to scroll through the list of all available apps and complications. Here, select a shortcut from the \u201cShortcuts\u201d section. If you don\u2019t find your shortcut here, tap the \u201cMore\u201d button to see a list of all available shortcuts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once the shortcut is added, you\u2019ll see it in the preview. Press the Digital Crown once to save the layout. Press the Digital Crown once more to go back to the watch face.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll see that the shortcut has been added to the watch face.<\/p>\n

Simply tap the shortcut to trigger it. From the next screen, select the \u201cRun\u201d button and enter any information if needed. Once the shortcut runs, you\u2019ll see a visual confirmation from the Shortcuts app.<\/p>\n
