create shortcut to photo album on home screen.

OS 11.3.1 iPhone 6

i took 8 photos of handwritten pages of information that I need to access frequently. I’d like to be able to click on an icon on home screen that would open the photo album with those 8 photos in it.

You could use the Shortcuts app to do that. You may need to update to iOS 12 to download it. If you had the Workflow app (now Shortcuts), you could use that in iOS 11 to do the same thing.


The 2 actions needed are:


Find Photos Where

Album is (name of album photos are in).


Quick Look
